Known Issues

  1. The new Inline Functions for Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel are not currently supported in SSL environments. This feature will be enhanced with this capability in a future release.
  2. K2 SharePoint SQL SmartObjects: Renaming a view alias results in an error when updating a connection.
  3. K2 SharePoint SQL SmartObjects: It is not recommended that spaces are used in the database table or column names. If spaces are used those entities will not be created as SmartObjects.  Spaces will also cause errors when renaming the tables and columns. 
  4. When performing an unattended upgrade from previous K2 4.5 Updates such as KB001140 or KB001170 to KB001200 a message window appears for each msp. However, the installation is not affected by these message windows.
     

     

     

     

     

     

     Workaround:
    Leave the windows open until the installation is complete and then close all the windows.

  5. An error stating "The request failed with the error message:--Object moved Object moved to here.--" displays when using the OpenXML -Excel Services with certain SharePoint versions where Excel Services are not available. This issue does not occur on SharePoint 2010 Enterprise and SharePoint (MOSS) 2007 as the Excel Services are available in these versions. However, if the Excel Services are not configured on the versions where the services are available the error stating "An error has occurred." will be displayed in the process error logs.
