Hi


K2 exposes the workflow data via smart objects created for each workflow deployed on K2 server.


It creates workflow SO only when the option "Create workflow smartobject" is selected during deployment of workflow. Please see the screenshot attached to this post.


If I have existing process in the company where "Create workflow smartobject" option may not be selected during deployment and


if k2 process is re-deployed the with the above option selected, will the existing k2 processes instances in production be readily retrieved using the newly created smart object?


will the smart object automatically retrieve the existing K2 process Instances using the SO service?


Is there any additional step required to sync instance data with newly created SO?

Hi Hestia


Yes you will be able to retrieve data back from the first deployment of the workflow. Try using the SmartTester to do that in the first place. in Workflow Report / Workflow Solutions the smartObjects will be placed. All data information is stored in the SQL server no matter if you added the creation of the smart object during deployment or not.


Remember that you can't use the smartObject from Workflow Solutions if the field name exceeds more than 128 charaters (Correct me here if it's 256!)... If you aren't using Infopath it shouldn't be any problem.
