Sharepoint 2010 & K2: The attempted operation is prohibited because it exceeds the list view threshold enforced by the administrator

By peter.stilgoe

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

If when trying to create a workflow on a list using K2 Blackpoint / K2 Blackpearl on Sharepoint 2010 & you get the following error when trying to enumerate lists:

“The attempted operation is prohibited because it exceeds the list view threshold enforced by the administrator”

You need to up the ‘List View Threshold’ in Sharepoint 2010:

Central Admin –> Manage Web Applications –> Select your web app & click –> General Settings > Resource Throttling.

The 1st option is List View Threshold which by default is set to 5000, you need to up this to something sensible for your environment.
