I'm running into an error on my K2 Five Management.The steps to reproduce it are the following : K2 Management -> APIs -> SmartObject OData, and select one SmartObject.The error occurs when I click on "apply changes" button. Error message: "Could not refresh services, try again?" And when I try to see the xml generated by the OData url from the browser it's empty:<workspace><atom:title type="text">Default</atom:title></workspace>Any help would be appreciated.
We've upgraded to K2 Five and I am trying to install a new Smart Starter via the App Catalogue and I'm seeing: Install Restriction. You cannot install: Forms/Views.I'm logged into the K2 server as the Admin account and I have also tried via a web browser logged in as myself - and I have full admin rights in App AdministrationAnything glaringly obvious that I'm missng here?Cheers
Hi There, I am having the following error in my process when i deploy: Missing reference at SmartObjectField . Error: The best overloaded method match for 'string.IsNullOrEmpty(string)' has some invalid arguments I am not sure why this error occurs or where to fix it.... Anyone else having the same issue?
Currently trying to create a CustomSecurityProvider with Microsoft.Identiy.Client / OpenID authentication. I'm currently stuck on the 'AuthenticateUser' method. All other examples I've seen have access to username and password. To acquire a token requires going to a website and signing in with your Google/Facebook etc in my requirements. So I'm not entirely sure how/when the authenticate user is called and how to proceed if parameters for it are not known.
Hi guys, Quick one. Can the Worklist control be configured in run-time? For example - I have a form hosting the control, I want to filter the results to only show tasks that belong to a particular workflow and where the folio contains a particular text value. I know I can do this in the designer, but I want to do this in run-time! This is because the form will be part of a workflow. This way the results you see are linked to the workflow state of the Form. Please say this can be done! If not, I cannot see how I would recreate some of the functionality that the worklist control provides on a normal list. All ideas welcome! Conrad
I have a SQL table with user details and i have an editable list created from this.i would like to edit rows in the list, and then save my changes to another SQL tablewhat is the best method for achieving this?
we have been using this custom service broker with smart objects and everything working fine.i have added a new attribute into the AD schema, and added this property into the service object schemai have 3 users with data in this new attribute onlywhen i search via powershell and retrieve data for those that don't have the field $null i get 3 responseswhen i use the SMO and select the GetUsers method, it returns all objects from AD.What is weird is that all users have the securityLicence from the top user, ie Tony Lewis has the field populated, and it then populates the result for all users until the next ‘real’ entry, Brad Burgess. It then shows results for all users found after Brad, until it finds the next real object, B Johnson and then populates all results under that accountexamples sAMAccountName Display Name securityLicence T1250 Tony Lewis 407216452 T3034 Paul James 407216452 T1498 Greg Wall
Hello, Anyone know if it is possible to execute the same loop step in a workflow more than once? I have a loop to iterate over a list of values (created using a reference to a list smart object method) to start multiple sub-workflows. Once all the sub-workflows are complete, the parent workflow allows the user to re-execute the loop again to start the sub-workflows again. When trying to execute the loop step again, no sub-workflows are started. Any thoughts on what could be going on? Is this even possible to do?Thanks!
Hi,I have a simple form consisting of 3 views. One view is for a request and the other two views are for two levels/steps of approval by different managerial levels. The fist view has a submit button (Create Button) in the form works well. The filled out data fields in the form are registered in the smart object and available in the workflow. The problem lies with the updating of the additional approval data fields on the forms/views. The Workflow is very simple: Start --> Email 1 --> UserTask (Approval1) --> Email 2 --> UserTask(Approval2) --> Email 3 The emails just send all the SmartObject data values so that I can see what data is populated or not. All data is one SmartObject and the form is presented in 3 different States. The two approval views both have their own submit button (Save Button), but apparently, the edited values in these views don't get saved in the Smart object nor are available in the workflow. Anybody know what I am missing? I have used all the a
I have a smart object with two service object methods: one read method that returns a particular object and one list method that returns a collection of objects. The method that returns a single object has an "HttpResponseCode" return property; however, the method that returns a collection of objects does NOT have the "HttpResponseCode" return property. I would like for the List method to populate an HttpResponseCode so that I can facilitate some error handling and I'm hoping someone might be able to offer some advice or point me in the right direction? Here is the (similar) C# code for my ApiController class, in case that's helpful. The first/top HttpGet below is related to the problem child. While debugging in Visual Studio, I can see that the IHttpActionResult.StatusCode does actually equal OK (200)... however, the SmartObject never seems to recognize it. In K2Designer, the service object doesn't even offer a return property to bind to. The second/bottom HttpGet below seems to work
Regarding the below item view (hightlightlin line in light blue) in the above, the comma(,) and .00 does not show as the user types out the cost (10000 wrong vs 10,000.00 correct). Is there a way to make these 2 things show as the user types? Thanks in advance.
During the installation of the K2 Workplace it would be nice if the installer would refresh the Web Applications that exist Also...when running the install the components that are installed on the server do not refresh if you are in the setup program...
This write-up illustrates basic K2Five integration from a Mendix app consuming the REST Services of K2Five. Data is captured for a user from a Mendix app and used to start and populate info to a workflow process in K2Five, sending an email notification listing the captured data. Additionally images from a list in SharePoint will be extracted and embedded in the notification to produce a professional email signature.

Dear all, When we call "SAP BAPI" via "K2 Connect For SAP", we encounter the following problems:SAP BAPI Structure and Method:SAP BAPI name: SAP TestInput Parameter: T_ROS(Parameter Name), Table(DataType)Output Parameter: T_RETURN(Parameter Name), Table(DataType)Only use the test tool provided by "K2 Connect For SAP" to call the BAPI method. The result is that when two data are passed in "T_ROS", if the first one is in the wrong format, the return value indicates the first format error. If the format is all correct, then Both returned successfully.However, after using "K2 Connect For SAP" to generate "Service Object" for "SAP BAPI" and then "Smart Object" for "Service Object", the “ExecuteBulkScalar” method provided by K2 backend is used, regardless of whether the first format is wrong or not. Return the second success, and only one return value.The specific calling logic is as follows:using(serverName.Connection) {SmartObject regionSmO = serverName.GetSmartObject("SAP Test");regionSmO

Is there a way to go to a previous version of a form/view in K2 Five? For example instead of version 30, revert to version 19? Also, is there a way to get information about all the version for this give List view, from versions 1-30? Thanks.
Dear all, We encountered a problem when we use reverse proxy to expose intranet k2 site url to external. We have changed the OData URL to proxy url in k2 management. But when we use the K2 OData Feed with Excel, it prompt us that "the remote name could not be resolved:'XXXX'", XXXX is intranet k2 site hostname. We have changed the OData Url to proxy url but why it connect to intranet url? Can you tell me how can I change the XXXX to proxy url? Best regards,

We have been running K2 fairly successfully on a local domain for a number of years, we are now moving forward with the internet connector and Azure B2C for clients. Our current Blackperl/Smartforms are on a single server located within our local network with the K2 database on another server. Is it ok to expose this server to the internet ? Or are there recommended archetictures/installations for this. (Not heavy load base)
my issue is for normal domain users can not access k2 site (designer workspace and etc), only if add them into local administrator of K2 web server(IIS server), then the users can access the K2 site. I have checked on IIS of the k2 site, windows authenticate is now enabled for K2 site, workspaceuntimedesinger and etc has been enable the anonymous and for identity application -> windows, has enabled windows authenticate only provide NTLM method. for normal user, after 3 attemps, HTTP 401 will be happened and indicates do not have permissions to access the site. how to resolve this issue, why only the users who has the local admin rights of K2 web server can login to K2 site?(my k2 web and app are hosted in different server)

Identify Orphaned smartobject in your K2 Designer. Open the SmartObject Service Tester tool. Expand SmartObject Explorer and locate to the category where your Orphaned SmartObject are stored. Right click on the smartobject and select delete. If you have several Orphaned smartobject that you want to remove, follow the same the above process to each of those smartobject.
It is not possible to create a package in Blackpearl 4.7 and then deploy the package to a K2 Five environment. To bring a 4.7 solution to K2 Five, the 4.7 environment must be upgraded to K2 Five which gives usage of the Legacy Designers. These solutions will then be able to be packaged and deployed to another K2 Five environment which has been upgraded. If the K2 Five installation was fresh and not an upgrade, the K2 Five environment will not be able to use the Blackpearl 4.7 solutions, as the Legacy Designers will not be available. Please browse the documentation below: - Cross Designer Compatibility - Deploying between versions "K2 will not accept any liability for any issues arising from actions taken in respect of the information provided by any forum member.”
