Importing workflow supporting data

The Integration Framework can import a workflow process and its supporting data (including actions, roles, and communication templates).

Before you begin

Your environment must be configured before you can import workflow supporting data. The Data Import feature is available only for interfaces of the Notify operation type within an adapter.

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.

About this task

You can import data to build and test your process in a test environment, then you use the integration framework to export the process to your production environment.

  4. In the Server Directory field, specify the location of the file. The default location of the file is: <global directory location>\load\xml.
