Resolution

The default MaxRequestLength set in IIS for workflow api site is 2 MB. You can add the following key in the <system.web> section in the web.config file to increase the size.

<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="16384" targetFramework="4.6.1" />

The web.config file is located in the following folder:

C:Program Files (x86)K2 blackpearlWebServicesAPIWorkflowV1

Please make a backup copy of the file before making changes.

Increasing this limit could potentially raise performance issues if the server does not have enough resources to process the request.
