Nintex Automation K2

Somehow, I assume an extra item reference was created to a smartbox object I am trying to use in workflow. I get this error repeatedly.  I cannot find any help on community or in K2 documentation on how to trouble shoot this. Should I delete the workflow?  Will it work if I start over? or is there now some rule configured which will have a problem in a future workflow? Anyone else experience this error before?  How do I get this resolved, short of remote services fixing it?  I need to learn how to find these problems and fix them myself if possible.

We have an environment with 4.7 workflows that we've upgraded to Five. We use the Visual Studio plugin to maintain those workflows. We are aware that we have to install the 4.7 client tools first and upgrade them to Five to maintain those workflows if we have a new client machine. Is that true for the server? If we want to install an entirely fresh new K2 Five environment and deploy our apps to it, do we have to start with 4.7 and upgrade that to 5.2? Another way of asking the question: could we do a fresh install of Five and point it to our upgraded 4.7 to 5.2 database and expect the legacy workflows to work?

Hi All,After installation of K2 Five, when i try to browse workspace i am getting blank screen, Windows authentication is enable for workspace VD. I am able to browse the K2 designer.Please let me is additional setting is required.

Help! I'm not sure what I'm missing. I'm trying to create a flag in a Data Label (true), if the current user is a member of an AD Group when initializing the form.I swore it worked previously in my environment, but now - nothing. Am I missing a step? I'm executing a SmartObject method at Initiliazing - Get Group Users The problem is that no matter what - the Data Label always displays 'true' - even if the user is not a member of the group. Am I missing a step/ my logic for the filter is wrong? Thanks!

Hi all,  I have a textbox control with the following configuration: Datatype:DecimalStyle: Language English (US)   Does anybody know a solution for this issue?. Thank in advance.

Please see snapshot.I am trying to configure my workflow in my smartform using the command but failed. Error: There are no items to display. Either the process has been deletedor yo do not have the required process rights to view. I have admin process in the workflow.In v4.7 it is working, in k2 five I am having a lot of issues. 

I have a form with two multi-select controls populated with data from a database. Multi-select 1 shows a set of values from a database table - let's call this Asset Code. User can go into the form and select one or more Asset Codes. Multi-select 2 needs to show Design Codes, each of which has an associated Asset Code. I want to populate this second multi-select to only show Design Codes where the associated Asset Code is one of those selected in multi-select 1. If the user selects a single Asset Code from multi-select 1, it works. We see design codes that match that asset code. But as soon as the user selects two or more items from multi-select 1 (which was the whole point of having the multi-select control) it fails. Variant 1: If I used the default "filter the data according to another control's value" tick box, then it tries to use the Asset Code(s) as an input mapping and doesn't retrieve anything as soon as there are two values. Variant 2: I went in and changed the Populate rule t

We have our K2 Five installation separated into a web server and an app server. When we try to load saved workflows, the workflow designer halts at 80%. I can see a browser console error showing that K2 is trying to connect to the K2 database using our web server service account, not our app server service account. Do I have to give our web server service account access to the database? I had the understanding that everything goes through the app server. Maybe that's not true for the designer? It seems to be only workflows. SmartForms seem to save and run fine. I'm attaching a screenshot of the console error.

hi,I'm absolutely new to k2 and playing around on our dev server. I want to create a REST service instance. I already created swagger definition but now I'm stuck.While creating the instance I have to pass Descriptor Location. But I don't know how I can upload my swagger def file? Very basic, but it puzzels me.

Is there any available & if possible detailed documentation for Workflow REST API via Swagger?The one i found is where we executed it using C# but i need to test it directly in swagger. Especially in /tasks/{serialNumber}/actions/{customAction}, for any available custom action also for userDefinedFieldswhich corresponds to the available customAction. Thanks.

I cannot find any where to set the rule to start the workflow when a list item was updated. Needed help, thanks!

Is there any way to match the currently logged in user to a list of names from a picker? I have a list view and need to allow a certain group of employees read access to all submitted forms while locking this view down so that other employees can only see forms they've submitted. Is there any way to accomplish this? The picker that I have set up with this list of employees is tied into an advanced smart object

Hi All, I am having some difficulty configuring an Oracle ORDS OAuth resource and require some insight as to how the OAuth authentication model works, I have read through the K2 documentation but its not clear to me how the Authenctication Code model would work for K2. I have the Authorization URL, I have configured all the parameters (tested and confimed with Postman calls) but when I try to use the configured OAuth I get the following message:  When clicking OK it redirects me to a login page with the parameters in the URL being correct. I log in and it then redirects to a url with the Auth code back into Oracle and not to K2 as expected. I have the following documentaiton from Oracle regarding the Autherization Code approach:OAuth 2 : Authorization CodeThe authorization code flow is a three-legged process. The user accesses a URL in a browser, which prompts for credentials. Once authenticated, the browser is redirected to a specified page with an authhorization code as one of the pa

Hi All,I am getting below error while refreshing sharepoint instance. This was working fine and suddenly started giving error. I am able to browse the sharepoint list using browser with the same service account, but not through K2 Smartobject service tester tool.Error screenshot 

I’m a K2 admin for our company and I’m trying to figure out how I can determine the original destination for a task that has been redirected. I’m often asked who redirected a particular task to another user but I haven’t been able to find a way to see how the first user was. Is there a way to do this either from the Management Dashboard or from the database tables?

Hi there.  I'm attempting to follow the instructions to add some newly purchased licenses to our existing stock.  Step 1 says: Start installation sequence for the K2 software (or retrieve the System Key referred to below from the K2 Service Manager if the software is already installed).    I'm not sure what that means.  How do I get the system key?  I think I know the rest of the steps, but what is the K2 Service Manager referred to below and how does it give me the system key?   Thanks, Rob 

Dear all, We encountered a problem when we enable the k2 workflow rest service. We enable the workflow api then click the apply changes button, it prompt us the error as below picture. We have installed the certificate in the k2 server and k2 web. Can u tell us how to resolve it? Thanks very much!

I'm looking for a way to list all the workflow steps and some of their configuration. I'm happy to use the C# API, a SmartObject, or a database query. I've been searching and haven't found anything yet. I'm not looking for the active instances, but rather the definitions. We have a lot of workflows and steps defined and I specifically want to know which of them have the "resolve groups to individuals" checkbox checked so I can avoid manually tracing through everything.  

Hello - I have a SharePoint Multi-line text area (plain text) that users enter 1 value per line... Is it possible to use the K2 Five workflow split function with the separator being the newline vs. a character ( ; or | )? If so, what would the newline representation be?  ...... or a chr(XXX) value? Thanx !! Jeff

Hello, How do I get the Actions associated with a USER TASK by sending the serial number?Since my workflow holding 18 User Tasks and having different Actions associated with each USER TASK. Please help me. How do I can achieve this?Thanks,Gelli2016

In the legacy workflow designer, I created an Expression to build a SharePoint document link that--when clicked--opened a Word document in the browser (versus downloading it and opening it in Word). I'm rebuilding the workflow now using the modern designer and can't figure out how to create a similar expression. Here's what my expression looks like in the legacy designer: Document Link: Left(Document ID (Link to Document), LengthToComma)LengthToComma: Find(Document ID (Link to Document), ,) -1 I tried setting variables and can get parts of it, but I can't get the LengthToComma formula to work with the "-1" bit at the end. Kept getting character mismatch-type errors. I couldn't find a way to do expressions in the same way in the new workflow designer.  Anyone have any thoughts?

Hi guys,I created a complex workflow 1 which runs with about 20 different user tasks which all refer to a form A (different admin groups performing the same task). Now I want to have a workflow 2 which is to 90% identical to workflow 1, having about 20 different user tasks wich all refer to a form B. The difference of the form is mainly the header data and the tasks form itself. Is there a way to create a copy of the existing workflow under another name (e.g. like the save as for forms or views) and use it K2 Five Designer? Many thanks,Christian

Hello All,I have a workflow with a loop. I want to count the iterations of the loop and report the number of times the loop ran. I have a variable in my workflow to track the count. I can set an explicit value for my variable. But I am not able to set the value using a simple additions (e.g.  Count = Count + 1). I've even tried assigning the current count to another variable and then adding 1 to the other variable without success.e.g. Count2 = CountCount = Count2 + 1 Is there a trick to doing simple math and assinging the result to a variable in a workflow? Thanks,-tomas  

It seems impossible to achieve this through K2 form setting. Please help, thanks!
