Enhancements and bug fixes

The following enhancements and bug fixes have been made in this release:

  1. Installing K2 connect database with a hyphen in the name caused issues.
  2. Updated ERP Connect files.
  3. Ability to install K2 connect with SQL Azure.
  4. When using K2 connect with SSO (Single Sign On), if your credentials do not exist in the SSO store SmartForms will prompt you to sign in. Once the credentials are stored, if the credentials become invalid (because of a password change in SAP) then SmartForms will only provide an error message and no option to re-enter the credentials. The error message states "RfcOpenConnection failed(RFC_LOGON_FAILURE): Name or password is incorrect. Please re-enter". 
     

 

 

Important Considerations and Behavioral Changes

  1. Before installing K2 connect 4.7.3 install the latest Cumulative Update and the latest Fix Packs. Minimum requirement is K2 4.7 March 2018 CU Fix Pack 24.
  2. From K2 connect 4.6.11 (4.10060.870.0) onwards, the SAP NetWeaver RFC libraries are required. The DLLs are not redistributed by SourceCode Technology Holdings, Inc. and must be obtained from services.sap.com. Once downloaded, you must copy the new NetWeaver RFC libraries to the correct system folders. The .zip files for each architecture (32 and 64-bit) contain four files, all of which are necessary.
    The 32bit files - copy to c:WindowsSysWOW64
    The 64bit files - copy to c:WindowsSystem32
  3. In K2 connect 4.6.10 or later, the installer includes the necessary ERPConnect DLLs. For new installations, it is no longer required to install ERPConnect before installing K2 connect for SAP. For upgrades, there is no need to upgrade the ERPConnect software as the new K2 connect installer does this for you.
  4. The installer updates both K2 connect 32-bit and 64-bit installations. One installer is used for new installations as well as for upgrades. When performing an upgrade, the current K2 connect version is uninstalled followed by the installation of the new version. Your existing settings are retained such as the K2 connect license key, however, it is important to select the correct database during installation.
