I am getting an error when deploying a K2 blackpoint process from K2 designer. The process deploys fine when logged in with the service account as well as my account but when a developer tries to deploy the same process he gets the following error message:


1 Error(s)

Try granting at least contribute rights for that user on the list/library.

The user is an owner to the site and I also tested uploading documents to the library while logged in with the user's credentials.

Hi Ahmed,


Can you please start your K2 Server in console mode. Please stop the K2 service in Services.msc first, then log on using the K2 Service account and start it in console mode via Start --> All Programs --> K2 blackpearl --> K2 Blackpearl Server.


Now, please try to deploy another process via the K2 Designer using a developer. The Console window should now be populated with information while K2 is busy deploying the process.


There should be updates of the user that is authenticating using NTLM or Kerberos.Can you please tel me which user has been authenticated, and which authentication method was used to authenticate the user.


Can you please let me know if this is a distributed environment? Is one of the following components split between servers;


K2 Server Service


K2 for SharePoint


K2 for Reporting


Workspace


Hope this helps.

This is a K2 development license so the service account is logged on and the K2 Server is started in console mode. K2 and all its components are installed on the Sharepoint server except for the databases which are located on a separate sql 2005 server. 


So when I deploy the process the console reports the following messages:


(I changed the names of servers, domain and accts for security purposes)

No Logs in the K2 console when I try to deploy the process.

I stated in my earlier posts that I'm using K2 designer....I'm actually using K2 Studio which is installed on a separate workstation. Hope this helps.


Any suggestions are much appreciated.

Sometimes with deployment errors I find it helps to deploy the process manually using msbuild.  That way it spits out exactly what its doing before you get the error which typically turns out to be what you need to focus your troubleshooting on.


This is described in the help (with some nice screenshots) but I'm don't currently have blackpoint up in front of me to give you the link. 


The menu option to Create Deployment Package is available from within the solution explorer by right clicking on the Project Node. The deployment package will include all items that are not excluded from the project; conversely any items excluded will be ignored when the deployment package wizard runs.


Follow the steps below to create a deployment package




Right click on the Project Node


Select menu option Create Package Deployment



 




  • Select the option Create Deployment Package


 




  • A notification will appear in the lower left hand corner of the screen informing the user of the outcome of the package deployment. If there was an error it will display in the same location


The package creation is complete. 


Run the msbuild command specifying the deployment package that K2 created.




Click on Start > Run > CMD <Enter>



Type cdWindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkV2.0.50727 <Enter>




Here is an example msbuild command:




Msbuild "C:MyK2ProcessobjDebugDeploymentExpense Claims Process.msbuild” /p:Environment=development

Hey timkn - I ran the msbuild and got the same error as my initial post. It seems to fail during the K2 Workflow Integration With SharePoint .

Hi Ahmed,


Deploying a process, which I guess is a workflow integrated process in this case, the deploying user will need the following rights:
- Farm Administrator: Too add the feature to the farm.
- Site Collection Administrator: Too add the feature to the Site Collection
- Modify rights on the '12HiveTemplatesFeatures' folder in order to drop the feature XML.


This is all in accordance woth MS best practises since K2 4.5.

Frikkie

Hi Ahmed,


You mentioned that you are using K2 Studio and that you are deploying from a remote machine.


Now, if deploying from the K2 Server itself, do you receive the same error message as you did when deploying from the remote machine?


As Frikkie mentioned earlier, please ensure that the user that is deploying the process, has got the rights as outlined in the previous response.


Let us know if the issue has been solved or not.

Coenie

That worked!!! I didn't have the developer as a site collection administrator. So how do I have multiple developers have the ability to deploy processes? You can only have two users set as site collection admins. Also, my account is not a site collection administrator and I'm able to deploy processes.

If you go into the Site Collection, not via Central Admin, and you click on 'Site Actions > Site Settings > Site Collection Administrators'  you will be able to add more Site Collection Admins.  Keep in mind that this probably won't be your configuration for production, as in production the idea would be to have teh actual SharePoint Admin be the deploying user because this is usually who adds features/solutions to the farm and is essentially what we are doing.


Side note:
I think giving the SharePoint Application Pool Identity(App Pool Accout) the same rights as indicated above would also alow everone to deploy.

Frikkie
