Hi,

 

I have set the active field value = false and published = false (previous version) in workflow version table records which is having workflow name = Change Request - Normal. 

then i added all files into update set. i tried to migrate this update set from one instance to another but only published = true record updates migrated. rest of the records active field value still showing true.

 

pls assist to migrate this update.

Hi BanuMahalakshmi

If you have already migrated your workflow's live version (Published =true)  to the  target instance using update set and now
If you want to move specific historical versions and not just the currently published one:
  1. Navigate to the wf_workflow_version table.
  2. Filter for the specific workflow.
  3. Export these records to XML and import them into the target instance.
