Hi,


I'm working on a project with a customer and currently we have a team of 5 persons working on their local desktops using K2 Studio to develop 5 different K2 processes (one process per person). Each guy has locally his K2 studio project file and then deploys to a K2 server that is running on a server box.


The issue is that we are experiencing several difficulties starting with the time a deploy takes, around 10min to complete a process deploy with more or less 12 activities and 30 or 40 events. Also, when one deploy starts the other 4 persons must wait until it finishes, attempting to make even 2 deploys simultaneous will fail on the 2nd one.


If we consider 5 persons working, then it takes about an hour for all of them be able to make a single deploy and then test it.


Any one is experiencing this kind of issues and is using any strategy to minimize it?


Thanks.

What is the type of hardware evironment you are using for the K2 server and SQL server?  10 mins does sound kind of long for a process with 40 events.  I have guys who work on Virtual Machines (Everything installed on a single machine) and take about 4-5 minutes to deploy a process with about 10 activities and 20 events.  The host machines are Core 2 Duo machines with 3GB of RAM.

Did you end up finding a solution to this problem? 


We were experiencing something very similar and found that turning off the creation of Workflow SmartObjects and Workflow Reporting SmartObjects in the process associations wizard worked for us.
