K2 Five 5.4/5.5 - Minimum Hardware Specs

Hi,   We are currently on K2 Five 5.3 and looking to upgrade to either K2 Five 5.4 or K2 Five 5.5. Can anyone point me in the direction of minimum hardware specs for the app server?   I would like to know minimum/recommended CPU speed, Memory (RAM), Disk Space etc.   I have found documentation around software pre-requisites but cannot see anything around hardware.   Just intrigued to know if upgrading means we need to allocate more resource to our environments etc.     Thanks

Smart Object to add user to Role?

Hi there.  I am sure this has been asked, but I just can't find it.   Does a system smart object exist that would put a user into a specified role without having to manually add them using hte management console? I have a large number of users I'd like to put into specific roles, and I would love to create a workflow to do it by readin ga list of usernames from a table rather than having to add them to the role one at a time (there are hundreds of users).   I've looked at the Smart Object Service tester for K2 5.2 and I am not seeing anything, but maybe I'm missing it?  Thanks, Rob

Upgrading from 5.3 to 5.4, is a license needed?

Hi,   Quick question. If upgrading from K2 v5.3 to v5.4 on the same server, do I need to request a new license file, or can i just upgrade using the existing license for v5.3?   Thanks

K2 Citizen Developer - K2 Five - Test not marking as Complete (checked)

I have a colleague encountering an issue whereby two tests of this module have been completed. He cannot even re-take the test as it is all marked as complete and passed. However, the checkbox isn't being marked as complete (attached screenshot) and therefore he cannot finalise the module.  He tried going through the entire quiz and information as well as going from the previous one to the next to no avail.

Wait for external system timeout

Hi All! We have been integrated a LOB system to a workflow throught a smartobject. Using "Wait for external system" in the smartobject properties.  If the method call has an error (e.g. network error) how can the K2 (smartobject) handle it. Is there any timeout property or something else? ThanksLaszlo

Auto Complete, trips up on "Lastname, Firstname" type entries

I'm trying to use the Auto Complete control to search through a column of data of "Lastname, Firstname". If you type the Lastname followed by the comma, it resolves... When you put the space in and start to type the first name, it goes blank like it can't find a match.   I'm not sure if this is a SQL thing or a K2 thing, but it's really annoying.  Without having to re-format that column to remove the comma or something drastic like that, does anyone have any ideas on how to make the auto-complete control truly search for "Lastname, Firstname"?   Rob

If server is rebooted, have to manually start K2 Service

Hi, Got an issue on our Dev Server regarding the K2 Server service. I log onto the server (using our K2 service user account). I open Windows Services, I cannot Start the K2 Server: I get this: The only way I can get the K2 server up and running is to manually run the following file: Which launches a console application in the background. Problem with this workaround is that the server will stop if:The server is restarted If I disconnect the user from the server(I have to log back onto the server and launch application again) Is there some configuration I am missing? How can I ensure the K2 Server automatically runs correctly as a service, like the other K2 services?   Thanks K2 5.3, Nov 2020 CU - Fix Pack 10

How to update a present SharePoint document with Workflow Designer

Hi all, I am using K2 5.4 in combination with SharePoint Online. In my application which I am building I have the following situation for a new request:In SharePoint Library 'K2_Attachments', which every application uses an own folder thorough own specific Application Code and Application ID (for example, Code = VEA, ID = 61, so the folder name would be 'VEA000061'). I copy a document using the 'Copy Document' (in Workflow Designer, category SharePoint) from another library called 'Template'. As soon as the application finishes its workflow, I use 'Add Document to Library' to make a copy of the finalised document present in the 'K2_Attachments' library to another library called 'Specifications'. My challenge lies in the following situation for a change request. It goes the following:This time I use 'Copy Document' from library 'Specifications' to library 'K2_Attachments', under a new folder, because a change requests gets a new ID. So for example the folder in 'K2_Attachments' would be

Import CSV file data into List View

I came up with a way to read the contents from a CSV file into a table variable using a stored procedure. Once in the table variable, the data can be manipulated, join, aggregated, etc. to your hearts content before returning it to forms. I attached a very simple POC here that you can look at – it was built on 5.1 and requires an application database in SQL Server to host the stored procedure. The only caveat here is that the stored procedure isn’t super flexible/dynamic – you cannot create 1 stored proc to import multiple different CSV files. You’ll need to create a separate stored proc for every CSV file. I wanted to share this out so that it is available.

Change the originator?

Hi does anyone know if it is possible to change the originator. Through a migration I had to restart a workflow and the task went to me instead of the actual originator. I know about using a field in the form, but just wanted to ask if this is possible?

How to force a running workflow to a newer version

I know this question has been asked before, but all the answers I can find link to solution pages that don’t exist anymore. :(Our K2 version is 5.4I have several workflows which have been started in a workflow-version of the workflow that contains an error.The error has been fixed in the newest version of the workflow. It is a minor correction, so the existing workflows should be able to run on the newer version without problem.How do I force the running version to the newest version?

Validation to ensure a free-text field entry is always unique?

I have a simple SmartForm whereby a user can input a 'Reference', just a string of text which helps to identify a record. I want to ensure that whatever the user inputs here is always unique, but I'm not sure how is best to do this? I noticed you can tick 'Unique' against a field in the SmartObject, but unfortunately it's asking me to wipe the SmartObject's data in order to change this. Is this how it can be achieved, or is that different? Thanks

Process Originator is SP2019 Web App pool account, instead of the user which submited InfoPath form

We are in a process of migration from Claim-less SharePoint 2013 to SharePoint 2019 with Claims. Unfortunately, we need to use InfoPath for the time being. Initial form for K2 process is browser enabled InfoPath form, uploaded on SharePoint 2019 Web App. Form was transferred from SharePoint 2013 Web App, which had Windows authentication enabled (we didn’t use Claims on that site). After fixing the issue with K2 process Originator being shown as K2:NT AUTHORITYIUSR (really appreciate help received here https://community.nintex.com/t5/K2-Five-Forum/Process-Originator-showing-K2-NT-AUTHORITY-IUSR-instead-of-user/td-p/207025), now I get SharePoint 2019 Web application App pool account displayed as process Originator. I would really need to get user who filled out the form displayed as process Originator (as in pre-Claims version). Can anybody help me with this? Thank you in advance!
