From Fix Pack 11, a database connection is no longer required when updating non K2 Server components. If a database connection is available, connection is made. If no database connection exists, no connection is made and the Fix Pack installer continues.  If no database connection occurs, the UpdateHistory table is not updated with the latest Fix Pack version installed. 
From Fix Pack 12, any SmartObject method with a space in the name created prior to this fix pack, will result in a mismatch error when you try to deploy a K2 Workflow where the SmartObject is used. You need to edit the workflow to remove the SmartObject and re-add it.
From Fix Pack 17, a new configuration setting is available for the Identity Sync Service. See KB002707 for more information.

Prerequisites and Dependencies

The Fix Packs are only compatible with K2 Five (5.2) products. Because Fix Packs are cumulative, each new Fix Pack contains the updates and fixes that were included with the previous Fix Pack releases. K2 Five (5.2) May 2019 Cumulative Update must be installed first after which the latest Fix Pack must be installed. To determine which cumulative update or fix pack has previously been installed in your environment see https://help.k2.com/kb000426.

To install the Fix Pack, run the Fix Pack installer on every machine in your environment where a K2 product or component is installed, including desktop machines that have K2 Studio or K2 Designer for Visual Studio installed. The same installer is used to update the specific K2 products and components that are installed on that machine. 

  • Backup your K2 database.
  • Download the K2 Five (5.2) May 2019 Cumulative Update FP.exe.
  • Double click the .exe file and select a location to extract the installation files.
  • The Update window opens. Click Change if you need to change the K2 database. Select the correct information and click Accept. Click Update to start the installation. Image
  • A warning is displayed if a backup of the K2 database is not found. Create a backup before selecting OK. Click OK on the warning window to continue with the update. Click Cancel if you want to create a backup first.
    Image
  • After creating the backup, you can click Update again on the Install window. If a backup for the K2 database was recently performed, the installer shows you the date and time of the last backup.
    Image
  • Click OK to continue with the update.
  • Wait for the update to complete, and then click Finish.
  • If you need to view the installation log file, open it from the link at the bottom of the Update window or you can locate the InstallerTrace[date].log file in the %temp%\K2 Setup Log folder.
  • To rollback the K2 Five (5.2) May 2019 Cumulative Update, uninstall K2 from your environment.
  • Re-install K2 Five (5.2).
  • Re-install the K2 Five (5.2) May 2019 Cumulative Update.
  • Re-install the Fix Pack you had installed prior to this rollback.
  • Delete the K2 database created during the installation.
  • Restore the K2 database using the backup made before the update.

    • You can also restore the K2 database backup before you re-install K2. You just need to point to the K2 database during installation.

Considerations

If you previously installed K2 4.7 before you installed any of the K2 Five versions, and you use any of the client tools installed with K2 4.7, you need to re-install K2 4.7 up to the version you had before re-installing K2 Five.
