K2 Workflow Designer - Deploying a K2 Workflow Designer Workflow

This content applies to legacy design tools (such as K2 Studio, K2 for Visual Studio, or the Silverlight-based K2 workflow design tool). If you have upgraded from K2 blackpearl 4.7 to K2 Five, these tools may still be available in your environment. These legacy tools may not be available in new installations of K2 Five. These legacy tools may also not be available, supported, or behave as described, in future updates or versions of K2. Please see the legacy component support policy for more information about support for these components.

You need to deploy a workflow to the K2 Server before you can start it. Select the Deploy icon located on the main menu. This wizard is simplified to ensure a quick and easy workflow deployment.

Select Deploy to initiate a build workflow.  If the build is successful, the workflow is deployed to the K2 Server. If the build is not successful, a message displays the error details. Fix the errors and deploy again.

This screen marks the end of the Deploy Workflow.

When deploying a workflow you may encounter the following error:

Problem:

This happens when a workflow has been deployed, the Form is subsequently changed and trying to deploy the workflow again.

Solution:

The Form the workflow was originally built on has changed so you need to rerun the wizards for it to recognize the changes made before you can deploy.
