Importing or Exporting a Process Definition

---

It is a good idea to back up your process definitions regularly using the Export function. You should use a meaningful naming convention when selecting a file name for an exported process to make it easy to understand the purpose of the process.

To export a process definition

Navigate to Business Process Administration > Workflow Processes > All Processes.
Select the process or processes you want to export. To select more than one process, press and hold the CTRL key while selecting the processes.
From the Processes list menu, select Export Workflow.

The XML workflow process definition appears.

From the XML dialog box menu, select File > Save As.
Enter the file path, file name, and the .xml file name extension, and then click Save.

The process or processes are exported. If you selected more than one process to export, all the processes are saved to one XML file.

NOTE:  When exporting a process containing subprocesses, you must also export the subprocesses. Subprocesses are not exported automatically.

To import a process definition

Navigate to Business Process Administration > Workflow Processes > All Processes.
From the applet menu, select Import Workflow.
Select a path and file name of the process to import.
Click Open.

The process is imported with a status of In Progress.

NOTE:  If a process definition of the same name exists in the target environment, the newly imported process definition's version number will be incremented by one.
