Export Workflow Manager configuration

AlistairMcDougall1

Hello,

With Workflow Manager (Classic), I believe there was out-of-the-box functionality to export your configuration and import into a new database. Does the new Workflow Manager have anything similar for migrating configs between ArcGIS Enterprise instances? If not, are there any code samples available for achieving this? I would like to manually create/update a configuration in the UI and automatically push to a production Portal.

Thanks in advance!

Alistair

Hi Alistair,

Not with a user interface at the moment however you can script moving elements from one to another using our python api https://developers.arcgis.com/python/api-reference/arcgis.gis.workflowmanager.html

One thing we did improve is you can export an element (a diagram for example) and then save it into the other system with the original's unique ID. So both systems use the same ID structure.

We don't have any public samples, but I'll check with a co-worker who scripted it whether they can provide any of their work or a sample.

Cheers,

Michael

Hello @JohnAnderson1 ,

Yes, and you can also use the python API to do the same. You can find some sample scripts (for 10.9.x) in this repository: https://github.com/Esri/workflowmanager-samples/tree/master/ServiceBased/10_9_x

I would like to export a Workflow Item from ArcGIS Workflow Manager Server for backup and restore purposes. Will the following REST API calls achieve this?

https://developers.arcgis.com/workflow-manager/api-reference/rest/export-workflow-configuration/

https://developers.arcgis.com/workflow-manager/api-reference/rest/import-workflow-configuration/

Would these API calls also provide a solution to the original question by @AlistairMcDougall1 ?

Is there any other way to export/import and backup/restore Workflow Items?

Excellent, thanks for the quick reply and if you do have any code samples I'd love to see them.
