Limits on OData post size

Hi,I am using Nintex K2 Cloud.I have configured a Smartobject that takes 3 inputs and added it as one of the available Smartobjects on the Smartobject OData api page.The Smartobject uses a SQL server stored procedure to save data to a table. It has 3 parameters JSON nvarchar(max), filename nvarchar(200) and base64file nvarchar(max).The nvarchar(max) fields are configured as Memo in the smart object. The base64file value is a file that has been base 64 encoded.When testing the OData endpoint from postman it works perfectly when I use an encoded 400kb file, but I get an error when using an 840kb file : {    "error": {        "code": "",        "message": "Error reading HTTP body."    }}The 840kb file is 1.1mb when it is base 64 encoded.I suspect that there is a post size limit configured for the K2 OData implementation but I can find no documentation as to what that might be. From what I can find on the internet I can see that OData services typically have a limit of somewhere between 2

K2 BlackPearl - K2 OAuth High Trust Certificate expired

Hello, I´m having issue with our installation of K2 BlackPearl (v. 4.6.11) + Onprem SP2013. Certificate has expired 24.02.2025 and its not possible to open forms on Sharepoint anymore. I have tried following: Modify K2 Blackpearl installation – no luck, certificate is in those steps being generated, but again with same validity (so its already expired). Use different certificate from my PKI – I have changed thumbprint in K2HostServer.exe.config file, but without any luck. Im still getting errors on SP:    Can anyone please help me with this issue? Thanks

Best Approach to Updating Attachments in SharePoint via K2 Form

I have created a K2 form that allows users to upload up to 10 attachments. Upon submission, these attachments are saved to a SharePoint library using the UploadDocuments method of the SmartObject.During the upload process, I check if each attachment control contains a file and then call the UploadDocuments function accordingly. This process is repeated for all ten attachments.Now, I need to handle the scenario where a user opens the form in edit mode and wants to update the attachments.My Attempt:I tried detecting changes using the rule "When a control in the view raises an action", but this event is triggered as soon as the form retrieves the attachments from SharePoint.My Question:What is the correct approach to updating attachments in the SharePoint library when the form is in edit mode? Do I need to delete all existing attachments and re-upload them each time the form is edited, or is there a more efficient method to detect and update only the changed files?Any guidance or best pra

K2 List Method Error

As part of a database migration, I’ve created a new Service Instance to connect an existing form to a new server. The service account has been created and given full permissions. The connection is active, and the form can write to and read from the database. However, when attempting to execute the List method, the below error occurs:Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'. What is the cause of this and how can it be resolved?

K2 Smart Object / EWS Configuration with M365 Government Exchange

Has anyone successfully configured EWS with the U.S. M365 Government Exchange Service? I am assuming that a non-person entity or service account would need to be setup, but I am not sure where to start or if it is even possible without setting up the Azure AD Government Cloud. Both our versions of SharePoint and K2 are on prem. I assume the connection string would be something like this but not sure what else would be required from the K2 side or Gov Side. Any successful integration advice is welcome.

Get URL of saved PDF

Hi,I have a form which users can attached files to and also I save the completed form as a PDF. In the PDF table, both the application form PDF and any attached are saved with the same submission ID (seperate column) I want to allow users to directly access the attachments from the PDF table via the unique submission ID, how do i get the URL for each attachment? The idea is to pass the info into another system, but also include the URLs for the saved attachments in K2, so they can access them from clicking the URL. This other system doesn’t allow attachments, hence why I am trying to copy the URLs into the info passed to the other system and users can click the links to access the attachments direct from K2. Any ideas?Thanks

C# COM API - Get Worklist Items Including Out Of Office Items

Hi All, We had an issue last week which I want to share the solution with here, in the hope that it may help other people in the future. We have a custom MVC website, part of which has a grid view of the users outstanding K2 Work Item tasks. We use the COM DLLs to get these items using the code: Connection k2Conn = new Connection() ;k2Conn.Open([K2 Server]);var workItems = k2Conn.OpenWorklist(); This was working well, however when it was mentioned that someone wanted to start using the K2 Out Of Office feature we ran some tests and realised that this wasn't returning the items that have been delegated to the logged in user. For example if Anna is going on annual leave and assigns her out of office to Barry, when Barry loads his custom worklist he isn't seeing Anna's items when he should do (despite being able to see them when using the standard K2 worklist).  We reached out to K2 support about this, and eventually they sent us the following code back which makes sure that we get these

Debugging Tracking a value of a data label

Is there a way you can see the value of a data label for debugging service (similar to adding a Watch in IDE). I have an issue with a variable being cleared and I cannot find where it is changing. In K2 there doesn’t seem to be any debugging to track the Control Value and when it is changing. Is there a trick or maybe something I can do to se where the value is changing. Thanks

Help with building an expression to fill in a data label using K2 automation V5.6

I am busy building a form that will serve as a logbook. there are different users that will use this form. they can pick their names using a control button to populate a data label on the main form with their name. From there I want to populate a data label with a welcome message. This message must also congratulate the user if it is his birthday, or work anniversary. What i have decided to do is use an expression for this data label, using if statements to compare the dates. I have successfully created the if statements, but now I want to add a concatenate function to build the complete welcome message. My problem is, when I add the concat to the front of the if statement, it makes the if statement the first argument of the concat function and I do not know how to add empty cells before the if statement to properly formulate the message. Is it possible, or should I just redo all of the expression and start with the concat function first?
