K2 blackpearl Maintenance

Once you have K2 blackpearl up and running in your environment, there may be times when you need to modify components or change configuration settings. This can be accomplished by re-running the Setup Manager to add or remove components, or to change configuration settings.

When you run the K2 Setup Manager again, you will see three options:

K2 Maintenance
Configure	Re-configures the existing K2 Installation
Remove	Removes the existing K2 Installation completely (including all components) from the target system.
Modify	Modifies the existing installation by either adding or removing components¹
Repair	The repair option re-installs the components currently installed on the local, target system.
¹ The K2 Setup Manager may need to be run once the changes have been made.

Once the changes have been made, with the exception of the Remove option, the configuration tool must be run to reconfigure the installation.
If any change is made to the K2 Designer for SharePoint the users must clear their IE cache for the changes to reflect.

Managing K2 Components from Add / Remove Programs

The K2 blackpearl components are listed in the Add or Remove Programs. However, the components are not managed from this location. The K2 Setup Manager will be opened in order to manage the components.

Keep a copy of the Installation folder on the local machine where a K2 component has been installed. The Setup manager is required to add K2 Components.

Any modifications in Windows Add/Remove Programs will point to the Start > Programs navigation area or to the original installation source
