Microsoft® SQL Server can be installed on a clustered or non-clustered server platform. Each database should have a unique name per implementation. K2.net™ 2003 Server needs to gain access to the databases with the relevant privileges in order to log the state information based on the process that is currently in progress.

That is if the “Create Workflow Reporting SmartObjects” or “Create Workflow SmartObjects” checkbox on the SmartObject Association screen is checked. On deployment of the process, if these SmartObjects already exist, blackpearl saves the GUIDs for the SmartObjects and if not it creates new GUIDs. If associations are made to other SmartObjects through the process it creates an association entry for the link between these two GUIDs. When the deployment packages that create the process and the SmartObjects are relocated to another environment and deployed within the new environment, an error will occur. http://kb.k2workflow.com/Articles/KB000250.aspx Wed, 16 Apr 2008 07:00:00 GMT In certain instances the dropdown list box options on K2 Designer screens, such as the Add New Field screen, are displayed behind the main window.
