You can export and import individual workflows in Asset
Lifecycle Manager so they can be shared between different Asset
Lifecycle Manager users and servers in your environment. Exporting
a workflow includes all attribute settings you have saved with the
file. The export won't include workflow dependencies, such as
e-mail templates, listeners, forms, and child workflows.
When you import a workflow, you can place it anywhere in your
existing folder structure.
To export a workflow or folder
In the Process tab's Workflows panel,
right-click the workflow and click Export.
Specify the location and filename where you want to
save the exported workflow or folder, then click Save.
The workflow or folder is exported to the location you
specified; the file format is XML.
To import a workflow
In the Process tab's Workflows panel,
right-click the folder where you want to store the imported
workflow and click Import.
Type the workflow's path and filename, or browse to
and select the workflow.
Click Open.
The workflow or folder is imported to the location you
specified.
Tips
If you import a workflow into the same folder as an
existing workflow and the two workflows have the same name, Asset
Lifecycle Manager appends a number to the end of the imported
workflow's name so the two workflows can be differentiated from
each other.
Besides sharing workflows with other users, you can
use this feature to clone existing workflows and folders so you can
use them as templates for creating new ones.
If you have enabled workflow revision history, you
can export, import, and then revert to previous versions of your
workflows. See Revision history in Workflow properties.
