We are on a roll this week and I have 2 more How to K2 videos ready for you.  A huge thanks to our own "bobopedia" Bob Maggio for all his help on these videos.

Debugging a Service Broker

This will show how the Visual Studio Debugger can be utilized to debug a custom K2 Service broker.

In this scenario the configuration method is debugged, so K2 workspace is used to trigger the debugging event, as opposed to some sort of actual Create or Update method.

Note: in some environments the K2 server may need to be enabled for remote debugger. Refer to the below link for more details:

Debugging a K2 Process

This will show how the Visual Studio Debugger can be attached to the K2 server and used to step through the code of an executing process.

Note: in some environments the K2 server may need to be enabled for remote debugger. Refer to the below link for more details:

Hello again everyone..

 

I know last time I said the next video would be on Actions and Outcomes, but I was trying to get some 2003 templates to work in blackpearl this week and thought it would be a great video to show. I am sure someone out there could use the help.

So here it is video 10 on using 2003 templates in blackpearl. This one is short and sweet….

And as always they come in a variety of flavors

Thanks for reading glad you could find me.  This is the place where you can dig into K2 blackpearl.  We will regularly be posting new videos on a variety of topics.  Our first series will be on SmartObjects.  Through this SmartObject series we will take you through from the basics through using, and creating new SmartObjects.  If you have suggestions as to topics to cover, please suggest and we will work on adding it to the list.    For now check out our first 2 videos

 

Video 1:  An Introduction to SmartObjects. 

Video 2: Building your first SmartObject. 

 

These videos were created and "packaged" with the needed codec in order to prevent any playback issues.  Because of this they are in an Exe format.
