Moving workflow applications from one server to another can be accomplished by creating a template based on the workflow application and then using this template to create a new instance of the application on another server.

To move a workflow application to a different server

  1. Open the Workflow Manager for SQL Server.
  2. On the Workflow Applications tab, select an application, and click Create Template. The SQL Server Workflow Template Creation wizard starts.
  3. Follow the instructions for the wizard. This creates a template based on the application and registers the template on the server.
  4. In the Workflow Manager for SQL Server, select the server where you saved the template, and then select the Templates tab.
  5. In the list of templates, select the template you just created, and click Export to File. Browse to the destination server, and save the .tpl file.
  6. In the Workflow Manager, select the destination server in the Server list, and click Refresh.
  7. On the Templates tab, select Import from File, and browse to the .tpl file you saved. This registers the template file in the modTemplates table of the modSystem database on the destination server.
  8. Then, use the SQL Server Workflow Template Instantiation wizard to create a new instance of the application from the template.
