Importing workflow processes
You use the integration framework to import a workflow process and its supporting data, such as actions, roles, and communication templates.
Before you begin
For every workflow process that you import, you must add workflow support to the associated applications after you activate the workflow process.
To import data, the data must be in an Extensible Markup Language (XML) file. The format of the data must be the same as the format of the table that corresponds to the interface.
If your workflow process has subprocesses, you must activate the parent and child processes, and then resynchronize the processes. Also, you must import any subprocesses to your workflow process before you import the workflow process.
