How to get System Names

When you configure a custom step, you need to specify the System Name for the Service Instance, Service Object, and Service Object Method. To get the system names, do the following:

1. To get the Service Type system name:
   1. In the K2 Management site, in the category tree, go to System > Management > SmartObjects > SmartObjects
   2. Execute the List method of the SmartObjects.Authoring.Service SmartObject
   3. The SYSTEMNAME column lists the names you need
      
2. To get the Service Object and the Service Object Method system names:
   1. In the K2 Management site, go to System > Management > Workflows > Custom Step > SmartObjects
   2. Execute the Get System Names method of the Configuration SmartObject after specifying the system name for the Service Type.
      A Service Type needs to have at least one (1) Service Instance generated. If you try to execute this method without a service instance or with a service type that doesn’t exist, you’ll get the following error, There was no service instance found for the service type {service type name}. Check the service type name or create a service instance, then try again.
   3. The method returns a list showing the System Name, Type, and Parent columns, where:
      
      • Type: shows whether it is a Service Object or a Service Object method
      • Parent: is empty for Service Objects, but for Methods it shows the Service Object to which the method belongs
