Exchange Administration

The Exchange Administration Service Type allows the management of Exchange mailboxes. The broker exposes methods to enable and disable Exchange mailboxes. This service is used internally by K2 for some of the Exchange workflow wizards.

An instance this Service Broker is configured during the K2 upgrade process if Exchange integration had been configured for your K2 system. You can manually create additional instances.

Service Objects

The Exchange Administration Service Instance contains the Exchange Mailbox Service Object.

SmartObjects

If an Exchange environment is configured during installation of K2, K2 automatically generates SmartObjects for the Service Objects. These SmartObjects are used by the Exchange Event Wizards when enabling or disabling mailboxes in a process event wizard. SmartObjects can be automatically created by selecting the Generate SmartObjects for this Service Instance check box when creating a new Service Instance. Designers can use the SmartObject design tools to build advanced SmartObjects that leverage the Service Objects in this service. It is recommended to use the SmartObject design tools to create SmartObjects rather than generating SmartObjects, since this allows better control over the naming, behavior and design of the SmartObject and its methods and properties.

Considerations

The default Service Instance of this service is used internally by the K2 environment. Do not modify or delete the existing service instance. You can create a new instance or use the methods from the existing instance
