K2 for SharePoint 2010 - How to register the K2 Failover Job Definition for a new Web Application

The K2 Failover Job Definition is registered during the running of the SharePoint configuration wizard. If a site does not exist at the time at which the failover is registered it will not activate to the site and will not execute the K2 Workflow Job Definition when tasks are scheduled for creation. Therefore, if a new web application is created after K2 is fully installed it will be necessary to firstly Activate the K2 Features and then manually register the K2 Failover Job Definition for any sites in the new web application.

To register the K2 Failover Job Definition for a web application created after K2 has already been installed follow the steps below:

	Click on the K2 for SharePoint Tab in Central Administration
	On the Admin Page under the General section select the Run the K2 for SharePoint Configuration Wizard link.
	Click Next through the Wizard until the final page is reached. This is the page on which registration automatically occurs for each web application.
	To verify click the Register link.
	Select the option Navigate to K2 for SharePoint page in Central Administration.
	Click the Update All button.

On clean installs the page will show the features being Pending, this can just be ignored, and the wizard can be finished with the second radio button choice

To check if the K2 Workflow Failover is registered on a site browse to Central Administration > Monitoring > Check Job status and view the K2 Workflow Failover job.

If the Failover is not manually registered for the new site, users might experience some tasks that are being created and some that are not. The ones that are not being created are being scheduled for creation but since there is no K2 Workflow Failover registered for that site the job definition will never fire and the tasks will never get created.
