Microsoft SharePoint threshold limit - SmartObject creation

Issue

When trying to generate SmartObjects from your SharePoint List or Library through the K2 for SharePoint application, and the number of items in your list exceeds 5000, you will face an error. It can happen within the following scenarios:

• Generating SmartObject from your List or Library (for the first time)
• Regenerating SmartObject from your List or Library
• Using Package and Deployment for your List or Library
• Creating a View based on the SmartObject of your List or Library and you have paging enabled (In runtime, you will notice an error)

Error Code

For example, you may see the following errors.

"ValidationThe remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server error."

"The attempted operation is prohibited because it exceeds the list view threshold."

Resolution

The 5000 List limit is not a limit set by Nintex, but a Microsoft threshold limit that we cannot work past. We recommend reducing the number of instances in the List or Library.
