Nintex Automation K2

I am about to start an upgrade from K2 Five to K2 5.2. I wanted to check to see if anyone has an suggestions on stable fix packs. Should I just take the latest, currently fix pack 12? Also, I am trying to plan the upgrade timeline. The speed that I proceed at will be dependent on my ability to package and deploy either up or down. Will I be able to package from 5.2 and deploy to Five and visa versa? Anyone want to share and tips and tricks for upgrading?

I am trying to create Folder in Sharepoint List using K2 for sharepoint workflow component called "Create List Item". In "Create List Item" component i provided value in the Folder section as attched , but folder was not created. Sharepoint list item was created instead of folder.   

Is it possible to set timeout on a K2 Smartform?I mean when I do nothing on the form , then the browser will close automically.I have tried using a timer, but the browser was closed when I was still doing something. is there a suggestion about the rule used Thanks,

I need to view active instances of all my workflows in a seperate view similar to one shown below: 

Hi Everyone, I'm having trouble getting an attachment list to work for some individuals.I have a basic SharePoint smartform and the associated attachment list that is generated from the wysiwyg. I can utilize the form and upload documents without issue. Anyone else that seems to use it gets an error that is described here:  https://help.k2.com/support-services/kbt132940 . This is seems to be occuring with individuals who are not admins. The problem described at this link:  https://help.k2.com/support-services/kbt132940 does not apply because my permissions are already set as noted.  It appears to me to be a permissions issue but I cannot figure out where else to check to ensure they have the right to upload documents. All of the smartobjects and forms are set to inherit permissions. The individuals can submit the form without attachments just fine. Any ideas?Thank,Ben

What is the maximum time, we can put in timer function of workflow?In my case, I have to use thousands of minutes in the timer but it is showing the attched error.

Can K2 handle exponential numbers. For example, if I call a REST service and teh service returns back an exponential number like, -3.123E17. From my experience K2 does not transform a number of this size and I cannot do much with it. I cant convert it to a decimal or anything. Does K2's smarbox have data size limits that would prevent K2 from seeing or storing the above number as 0.00000000000003123 or something along those lines? Because when I try to store -3.123E17 into a SmartBox the save action fails.

Hi there.. K2 Five (5.2) installed.Looking to update some javascript that generates a custom task list. I'm using /k2services/REST.svc/Worklist/Items?piDataField=true at the moment which is returning the process instance's data fields. I need these to generate a user friendly interface with process contextual information.  Can I get the data fields out of  /Api/Workflow/V1/tasks? ... I don't see any reference to it in the documentation.

I had a QA tester come up with a scenario when typing in manual dates into a Calendar Picker that it isn't saving. DD/MM/yyyy -  if manually typed in  (15/05/2014) the field value will not save. MM/DD/yyyy - if manually typed in (05/15/2018) the field value will save When selecting a date using the calendar icon - the field value will save. In doing some forum / google searching I found a support forum post:https://community.k2.com/t5/K2-Blackpearl-Forum-Posts/DateTime-Format-in-Calendar-Control/td-p/59809 Is this still the case with the date formats?   Is there a way around this?  Thanks in advance

Issue:    When you go to deploy a workflow you will get the following error and deployment will not complete:     Missing reference at ConfiguredDecisionRule 'ConfiguredDecisionRule' in Activity 'Decision'. Error: A reference 'outcomeReference' was not set on 'modelConfiguredTaskExpression'. Stack Location : K2Process '[Process Name Here]' >Activity 'Decision' >'DecisionActivityConfiguration > Stack End.          Symptoms:  This could be the first time you deploy the workflow, or if you have also deployed this workflow previously without this error. You have recently used the Copy/Paste feature that was made available on the K2 Five Workflow Designer with the release of K2 5.1. If so, you might have copied some task and decision steps to another part of the same workflow. For example I might have copied the below decision and task steps outlined in blue:             Resolution:  This error can be resolved by recreating the decision steps that you pasted a copy of into the same

This might have been answered before but couldn't get confirmation on this. We upgraded from 4.6.11 to 4.7 and to 5.1. We are planning to upgrade to 5.2 over next few days. We still have legacy workflow which was built on 4.6.11. Current version of Visual studio is 2013 Professional with latest service pack. We would like to upgrade version of Visual Studio to 2017 but from this link:https://help.k2.com/news/k2fivetechnologies It supports only till VS 2015. There is no mention of VS 2017. Can anyone confirm here if it is ok to upgrade Visual Studio to 2017?

I am seeing a bunch of Deadlock errors on my instance of K2 5.2. Anyone have experience with this? What's the fix?

Hi K2 Team, I have worked in K2 version 4.7 .But I am new to K2 5.0. Where are the unhandled exceptions stored in K2 workflows?. Please find the screenshot. 

Does anyone know how to get the deeplink to a specific workspace (other than the default workspace)?I have a URL with workspaceID in it, but sometimes it switches back to the default workspace.

Hello,We've been having trouble adding additional Forms servers to our farm. We have a Test server (IIS + SQL).  We are adding a new Forms server to the farm and are referencing the Test server as the SQL server for this instance. After the installation, when a user navigates to the Test server instance, the user is directed to the New server for authentication. But since the new server does not have a database of it's own, the authentication is failing. We can fix things by running the configuration tool on the Test server. This updates things and the Test server returns to functionaing properly (we still have not successfully configured our Forms server). 1. Why does the user get redirected to the New server for authentication?2. It appears that the Application Instance or DB on the Test server is updated by the installation on the New server. Why? Thanks,Tomas  

If I make changes to a workflow and deploy essentially version 2. What will happen to all the open processes that were created under version 1? Will they continue to work just like they always have?  In my first version, groups of people got tasks assigned. In v2, the submitter selects recipients from a drop-down list.Also, in v1, there was 1 less step. The task would go to a direct supervisor, then to a group manager. V2 has another recipient between the direct supervisor and the group manager.

We recently had a issue if the form has lots of views  and any kind of popup is displayed, if you try to drag it the popup will scroll to the bottom. This issue seems to be resolved according to https://bugs.jqueryui.com/ticket/9315 but still present in K2 4.7, K2 5.0 and 5.1 We have logged this issue with K2 for a fix but for the time being the workaround for now is to simply add the following CSS in a Literal Data Label expression on form initialize rule. <style>html, body, form{ position:relative!important; }</style> Regards,Satpal

We are trying to package and deploy a app from our development enviroment to our test enviroment.  When we run  package and deployment everything is being packaged but the actual workflow.  It keeps defaulting to a generic workflow. How do we get our actual workflow to be packaged.  

Another K2 five cadet question sorry! I have noticed that when I create SMO from a SQL broker the fields that are required in SQL are also required in the SMO, this is also on "Is Identity - Yes" fields in SQL.  In 4.7 this was not the case as the ID fields are generated by SQL as autoincrement and passed back tot he SMO. I think I may have confiured the broker incorrectly but at the moment I'm having to edit the SMO after creation in designer and uncheck the required box for the ID fields. Other wise I cannot run any create methods at all! Has anyone else experienced this?

I am following the official documentation of K2 features to add a new instance of Docusign but i keep getting an error:      

I am building parent-child workflow in K2 Five Designer. Parent workflow executes few SSIS packages. Parent workflow executes Child workflow or Second workflow. When Child workflow triggers, I need Parent workflow to show status such as "In Progress" till Child workflow completes. Parent workflow displays status of "Completed" once Child workflow completes.If Child workflow fails, Parent workflow displays status of "Pause" or "Error"Basically, I am looking for accurate status for workflow

We have a lot of Server Events, both sync and async. I understand that these are no longer supported in K2 Five. I've been digging through the documentation for K2 Five to find the new ways to extend the product to meet our requirements. I find the documentation confusing becuase it is riddled with notes that this is not supported or applies to legacy K2. Is there documentation somewhere that only contains the K2 Five components that are supported? We have a big problem ahead of us if we intend on upgrading to K2 Five. Everything we rely on is being depricated. It will be tough to see if we can even upgrade to K2 Five or if we need to start looking at another product. We're in a very tough spot. Phil
