Greetings all, just a quick note to make sure everyone is aware that SP1 for K2 blackpearl is now available on the customer/partner portal.
A great deal of work and testing has gone into making sure that this service pack is solid, and addresses the issues that have arisen since blackpearl has been released.
Some items of note on this service pack and what it includes
K2.net 2003 Interoperability (Beta) support, including:
• Upgrade of K2.net 2003 Studio solutions, projects and process definitions. NOTE: This does not include migration of deployed processes (database migration).
The ability to migrate an existing K2.net 2003 server to an empty K2 blackpearl server will be provided via a migration utility. A limited availability Migration Utility Beta Program will begin soon. Please contact your regional sales representative to be included in the Beta program.
