Export a workflow configuration

ArcGIS Workflow Manager allows you to export a workflow item configuration file and a mapping file that can be used to configure workflow items in another Workflow Manager system. The workflow item version that the configuration files are imported to must be the same version or a newer version than the version that the workflow item was exported from.

To export a workflow item configuration, complete the following steps:

  1. Access the Workflow Manager web app.
  2. Click the Design tab.

    The Design page appears.

    Note:

    If you don't have sufficient privileges, the Design tab is not available.

  3. Click Settings Settings.
    Note:

    If you don’t have sufficient privileges, Settings Settings is not available.

  4. Click the Export Data tab.

    The Choose job templates tab appears.

  5. Check the check box next to each job template that you want to include in the export.
  6. Click Next.

    The Choose diagrams tab appears.

  7. Check the check box next to each workflow diagram that you want to include in the export.

    The check boxes for the workflow diagrams associated with the job templates that you chose are checked by default.

    Tip:

    Turn on the Show all diagrams toggle button to show all available workflow diagrams.

  8. Click Next.

    The Export and other options tab appears.

  9. Optionally, uncheck the Include settings data: Groups, Roles, Email Notifications, User Defined Settings, Shared Searches, and Shared Charts check box to exclude settings data from the export.

    Settings data is included in the export by default.

    Caution:

    Excluding settings data may cause exported job templates and workflow diagrams to fail.

  10. Click Export data to export the workflow item's configuration.

    The workflow_configuration_<export_ID>.wmc file is automatically saved to the browser's default download location.

  11. Optionally, click Download mapping file to download the mapping file.

    The mapping file allows you to associate items in the source configuration with items in the target configuration when imported to another workflow item.

    The workflow_mapping_<export_ID>.json file is automatically saved to the browser's default download location.
