With the release of K2 blackpearl 4.6.9, a number of configuration files have been consolidated into a single configuration file to simplify the management of configuration settings. The SourceCode.SmartObjects.Runtime.config can now be found within the K2HostServer.exe.Config file, which is located in the \K2 blackpearl\Host Server\Bin folder on the K2 Server. For information see the Configuration file consolidation in K2 blackpearl 4.6.9 KB article. |
