K2 [blackpearl] problems and solutions
This will be my first post on K2 [blackpearl] and certainly not my last one! I really like the product and I see more and more demand around the globe for the product.
At the end of last year and the beginning of this year I did a project with K2 [blackpearl] for a major energy and petrochemicals company. During that project I came across some issues with K2 [blackpearl]. I'll post the issues and the solutions over here so that other people can benefit from it.
Issue 1: When trying to deploy I received the following message:
You need to define an Environment for this project before you can deploy. Please define one before you deploy.
I did run the config manager again. After that I couldn't open new or existing projects.
Message: The project file *.k2proj cannot be opened. The project type is not supported by this installation..
Solved by re-installation of K2 components.
Issue 2: I received the following message: SmartObjectServer Exception: Error Receiving Buffer
workaround: open the main Project file (.kprx) with a plain text editor (like Notepad) and look for lines
in the "Datafields" area where the <Description> tag spans over more than one line and please
correct them by putting the whole tags and content in a single line, example:
<Description>your text</Description>
Following the workaround caused the deployment wizard not to start occasionally. Rebooting the
system helps, but takes time.
