Copying a Service Instance/Smart Object between servers?

Hi, We build solutions on a test server and then use package and deploy to copy to the live server. However I have created two new service instances and related SO on test that are preventing a deployment as they are missing on live server. Is there a way to copy/migrate these onto the live server or do we have to build them all together from scratch on the live server.I saw an article about a 'broker tool' but that suggested it was used to register a new one, it didnt suggest we can copy :-( Is there a tool that will do this? Thanks

Forms Based Auth page Redirects to same Login Page after Successful authentication

Hello, I recently upgraded to K2 5.2 from 4.7. I configured FBA site with all the references as mentioned in documentation. Now authentication is successful when I login. (I checked logs in DB that it is successful.) Ideally it should have been redirect to next page. But it remains on the same page.Also it does not show any error in console or on page.  Can you tell me where am I missing? Thanks,Nirav

Saving a task serial number to a smart object

I have a workflow where I save the workflow ID_TaskID so that I can complete the task via a separate form.However sometimes the TaskID isn't the correct ID and when the end users are trying to complete the task via the separate form they do not get the proper serial number and can't complete the task.I have this TaskID saved in a multi step running before the task.Attached are screenshots of the workflow.Is there potentially a better way to save a task ID/serial number?

User's worklist is empty

Hello All,I have one user whose worklist is empty.She has tasks assigned and if I "impersonate" her through the Out of Office functionality, I can see all the items assigned to her, which matches what I see in the management screen.Her credentials are getting passed to the application (we display the name of the logged user on the screen) so the system seems to "know" who she is. When she receives email notifications, she can open / view / action the items normally by clicking the work item link in the email.How can I troubleshoot this issue (to determine why she is seeing an empty worklist)? I'm a bit at a loss on this one.Thanks,Tomas Vera

Picker Control expand arrow not opening

I have a picker control that appears after a user selects a specific answer from a radio button control that takes awhile to load and when it does the expand arrow does not appear to work.  It will populate the control with the values from the SmartObject but when trying to expand the control it won't work. Any suggestions? Using K2 5.1 on prem.

Activity Instance List - Finish Date 1/1/1990

We have a List view using the Method for Workflow Reporting Service (List) : List Activity Instance Destinations and the Finish Date shows 1/1/1900.  When I go into the view and attempt to create an expression to replace the 1/1/1900 to a null value the field is locked out and says I can't use it because of circular references. Is there a way to make that show as null if it hasn't been updated ?

Different examples of selecting users for Approvals in workflows

We recently installed K2 Five and I have completed most of the tutorials. However, when looking at the first list of workflows that we wish to create, over 90% of them do not have the originator submitting to their direct supervisor.  This example is nice, but I'm looking for guidance on how to create approvals that go outside of the Manager-Employee relationship. For example, the most important workflow that is on my slate to complete ASAP is one where the end user is picking the advisor they are creating the report for so the advisor can indicate if the report is ready to be published. This is not their supervisor. While I am able to get the drop down to show the names of the Advisors by using a service instance of Azure, if I use that field as the recipient of the task, nothing happens and the instance of the workflow ends at that spot. I need to get a win with K2 as soon as possible and figuring out this part is vital. Are there any other tutorials or examples of different kinds of

Can you populate a list view from a smartbox object and create the rows in a loop without selecting?

I am transferring data to a list view one at a time, and allowing a button to select several rows to add. When I add one at a time, when the submit button on the form is selected, this works as intended.When I add all students to a list, and then submit, it does not work.  I have a work around of highlighting 1 row within the list view and then it works. What can I add within the add all students to make this work without highlighting? I am attaching screen shots of rules.

Different values when executing SmartObject UMUser with method "Get Users"

Hi,  I was setting prod environment in a similar way to our development environment and created connection to Azure Active Directory. Everything works fine, but there is one difference - executing SmartObject UMUser on production with method "Get Users" returns Manager property just with manager's name ("name"), without security label. In our development environment, UMUser returns Manager property with both name and security label ("AAD:name" for example). I attached the screenshot showing this differencies. Could anyone know why this field has differencies and what can I change to have manager field as FQN?

Need to remove decommissioned server

Since old farm was running K2 5.2 on WS2012 R2, we stood up new servers running WS2016 and added them to the existing farm running 5.2. We then removed the old servers from the load balancer and turned off the K2 services.  Now that K2 was running on the new servers running WS 2016, we upgraded the farm to 5.3. I read somewhere that K2 Five automatically disables old nodes that don't respond.  I've already removed the licenses from the K2 Management portal.  Can anyone confirm if we still need to work with K2 Support to remove the entries from the database?

Split logic involving SQL Data

Hi all, New to K2... less than a month in,  and hoping for some of you more experienced individuals to make a suggestion around splits and data evaluation to help me with a workflow I'm putting together.   I have a process that is going to rely on a SQL stored procedure to evaluate a set of records from a data table, and then update a specific column on that table with an error/warning code based on what (if any) problems exist with each given record: If no problems exist, the column is NULL  If there is an error, the column will contain an integer between 1-499 If there is a warning, the column will contain an integer between 5*personal details removed* I am trying to get my workflow to evaluate that column, run some matching against it for patterns to identify if the code exists, then route the flow based upon that evaluation to either prompt the user to take action or proceed. Logic I'm trying to achieve is: If any record in a set contains a value in this column and that value is in
