We’ve noticed on multiple servers (different customers) that K2 Five Exchange oAuth integration stopped working Nov 25, 2025. Note no changes to email configuration has been done. My suspicion is that MS is rolling out Exchange Server Online changes that affect K2’s oAuth integration (however, thats speculation at this point).Anyone else running into this and any recommendations? Receiving: SourceCode.Workflow.Shapes.EWS: Autodiscover not available and mail cannot be sent. Reconfigure K2 server with valid Exchange settings.In the K2HostSErver.log receiving the following message (can ignore system@k2.local as that’s not the real address): "173383731","2025-11-24 03:23:31","Error","MessageBus","61012","ConnectionError","ExchangeWebServicesOrigin","61012 Exception from message source system@k2.local: Error code: Forbidden Error description: Forbidden System.Net.WebException: The request failed with HTTP status 403: Forbidden. at SourceCode.MessageBus.Ews.ExchangeWebServicesConnection.&
I am trying to deploy a package created on my DEV server to the Production environment.The solution is related to a SharePoint Online site, and I am working with K2 on-prem 5.8 FP17 + SharePoint Online.When deploying to Production, I encounter the exact issue described here: In my case, this does not appear to be a permission issue. For the deployment, I am logged directly into the Production server and using a SharePoint admin account that also has K2 server administrator rights, so permissions should not be the problem.Do you have any suggestions on how I can resolve this issue?Thank you
Hi Team,We are facing an issue while reading, listing, copying and moving a file from one folder to another between and within subsites.At the same time we are able to upload a new file to any folder (even dynamic folder creation) and updating the metadata under the site and subsites. Below attached is the exception we are getting.Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ServerUnauthorizedAccessException: Exception from HRESULT: 0x87FA0010 at Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientRequest.ProcessResponseStream(Stream responseStream) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientRequest.ProcessResponse() at SourceCode.SharePoint15.Client.ErrorTrackingClientContext.ExecuteQuery(Boolean placeContextInErrorStateOnFail) at SourceCode.SharePoint15.Client.CSOMFunctions.DocumentFunctions.GetDocument(ListItem listItem) at SourceCode.SharePoint15.Client.CSOMFunctions.DocumentFunctions.CopyDocumentFrom(String fileName, String folder, String sourceSiteUrl, String sourceLibraryTitle, String sourceFolderPath, Boolean overwrit
Is it possible to Copy or Move a Style Profile in the K2 Designer? I’m not seeing a “Save As” option in the designer like we see with other components, and drag & drop does not seem to have an effect on Style Profiles.
Hi Community,I am using K2 Dynamic Chart control and want to display the count of requests by status (e.g., Draft = 2, Submit = 1).Currently, my SmartObject returns individual request rows with fields like RequestId and StatusText. Since the chart sums the RequestId, it shows incorrect values (e.g., Draft = 2, Submit = 3) instead of row counts.Challenge: I cannot modify the database (no SQL view or SP changes allowed). The SmartBox SmartObject does not support advanced grouping What I want:To show accurate grouped counts in my Dynamic Chart without modifying the database directly. in chart control there is any feature related to it.

Hi,On Nintex K2 5.8 I have workflows that are assigning some task to the users.On the task form a comment field is mandatory.When you use the worklist for this task (without opening the task form), you area able to do the requested action on the task without inserting the mandatory field. So the worklist action is bypassing the task form validation.This is possible from the user workspace, but also from the SharePoint (online) worklist.How can you solve such an issue?Thank you.
Hi,I’ve create a rule “When a control is changed” on drop-down list and put advance condition for transfer data to another control Normally, the rule should run when I’ve select data on this drop-down But, when I open the view with parameter(execute read method) for put data to drop-down list and another column, the rule "When a control is changed" is running. How can I set the rule for running only when drop-down list is select or change not when the view initialize with data. Thanks,Tim
I’m using Infopath forms on a Sharepoint forms library. Due to a migration to Subscription Server some date fields weren’t working properly anymore. I’ve updated these fields and uploaded the forms again in central admin, but some of the forms aren’t working.Here is the strange thing: when I add the form content type to another library it works like a charm, but the updated form on the same library doesn’t work.

Below are the K2 processes causing the huge transaction log:-Identity.AcquireLockForIdentity Server.kLogProcInsts Identity.ReleaseLockForIdentity Utility.EncryptionBeginMay I know is there a way that can minimize the transaction log size?
Hi,I am using K25.7, I recently encountered an issue with email events containing attachments in our workflow.The support team initially recommended applying Fix Pack 13, which resolved the attachment issue.However, we are now facing workflow failures where the activity recipients are null, specifically for reference items within a loop. This started after updating the SmartObject method, and although the data exists in the database, it is not being picked up.I am here attaching screen shot for your understanding.In Test1 Email, emails were received with correct values. In Update Status, updating only status field. in TestPostUpdate email , FQN is getting blank values but there are values in database table.If anyone has encountered a similar issue or has a recommended solution, please advise. Best Regards,Thriveni
Hello, can you help me please? Exception of type 'System.Web.HttpUnhandledException' was thrown.<br/>The AAD:xxxx@xxx.mx could not be found.
Hellowe have observed very strange behavior with some users. When downloading a PDF document, the downloaded file is not shown in the downloads folder.Only PDFs aren't being downloaded; other file types work fine. The server response has status 200; I see the request in Chrome Developer Tools, which confirms that the server successfully responds to the request. However, the PDF file still doesn't appear in the downloads folder. Other file types, like Word documents, for example, work fine in Chrome. Downloads work for all file types in Edge. For some users, it is a temporary problem and resolves itself after some time, but may appear again, it comes and goes. Problem appears only on K2 Sites.We weren't able to find out what is causing this behavior we fix it by renaming the user profile, Backup Bookmarks (take note of plugins) Close Chrome Rename C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data to C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data - BackUp Restart Chrom
@EttienneS Hi, your name came up n K2 for VS 2015 package. 😁If VS 2019 can load the K2 designer extension, the deployment functionality could work?VS 2015 / 2017 / 2019 are highly compatible for extensions. Seems it just needs to change a few references to point to VS 2019 path/registry.https://devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/how-to-upgrade-extensions-to-support-visual-studio-2019/change K2 for Visual Studio 2015.xml:Reference 2019 name <AllowedDependency Type="Application" Name="Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2019" MatchType="EqualTo" /> Path set to Microsoft Visual Studio 16.0SourceCode.VisualStudio(2015).reg:Reference 16.0 registry.SourceCode.Workflow.VisualStudio (2015).reg:Reference 16.0 registry.If anyone tried this and didn’t work, chime in. Thanks.

I have a SQL instance with the collation Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS for SharePoint Server SE. Is it possible to install K2 on the same instance by manually creating the K2 databases with the required collation (Latin1_General_CI_AS)? When I try this, I get the following warning message .And when I click 'Continue', I get another message: 'K2 is the wrong type of database'."
