If the target EPX server does not contain the Process Flows and Subflows being migrated, or there are no active work items in the Process Flows in the target EPX, perform the following steps to migrate the Process Flows and Subflows from the source:

  1. Open the EPX Design Console and log in as user system.
  2. Expand the Process Modeling->Process Flows folder:
  3. Compile a list of process flows to be migrated. If a subflow needs to be migrated, include all process flows that call the subflow:
    Workflow Description
    <list of workflows to be migrated>  
  4. Pause EPX processing.
  5. Perform the following steps for each workflow in the list above:
    1. If the workflow is not defined, skip to the next one in the list above
    2. Right-click the workflow and select Purge Work Items… from the pop-up menu.
    3. Check the Selected radio button for In Process Flow
    4. Uncheck the Delete only completed work items checkbox at the bottom of the screen.
    5. Click OK on the confirmation prompt.
    6. Click Yes.
    7. The work items will be purged and a completion prompt appears. Click OK.
    8. Immediately right-click the workflow again and select Delete from the pop-up menu.
    9. A confirmation prompt appears. Click Yes.
    10. If a dependency prompt appears, it means a work item was created on the workflow between the purge and the delete attempt. If this happens, repeat the purge/delete steps above.
    11. Repeat the above steps for the next workflow in the list.
  6. Select the menu option Tools->Import/Export menu option (if the option is disabled, click the EPX_<server> entry in the navigation tree first). The Import/Export Utility window appears.
  7. Click the Migration Source button.
  8. The Migration Source prompt appears. Select EPX Import File for the Source and click the … button.
  9. A file browser appears. Select the EPX workflow zip file generated from the source EPX and click Open.
  10. A Migration Source confirmation window will appear. Click OK.
  11. The EPX Migration file is loaded into the Source window:
  12. Expand the Process Flows and Subflows folders
  13. Click each process flow or subflow and click the single right-arrow button. The Process Folder appears in the Destination list.
  14. Click the Migration Destination button. The Migration Destination prompt appears.
  15. Click Migrate. The Two workflows are re-created. Eventually a Collision Error prompt appears.
  16. Click Skip All. The migration processing completes.
  17. If any of the workflows/subflows invoke the Email BIC activity and the target EPX has different mail server requirements (such as DEV does not use SLS or TLS security but PROD does):
    1. Edit the workflows containing the Email BIC activity
    2. Modify each Email activity
    3. Change the security on the Outbound settings to SSL or TLS
  18. Stop and restart all EnterWorks Services.
