Okay so i have seen this question asked plenty of times. The export to xml in workflow versions does not   output any activities for me. Its just an XML of the form. I am looking for the ability to actually export the workflow with all of its activities and especially the "run script" activities included.

Is this possible?

Workflows are comprised of multiple records so when you publish a workflow a Customer Update (sys_update_xml) is posted to your current update set that contains the entire workflow with all the pieces and parts.   That is what you need to use to move a workflow not exporting a version record.

Thanks. Do you know how i go about doing that?


Not sure I follow your question.   As mentioned a customer update is automatically created for you every time you publish the workflow.   So again you just need to make sure that gets put into the right update set and you can then export it.


NVM. I was able to understand what you were saying. I was able to export the workflow. However, when i go to retrieved update sets in another instance and try to upload it. After i click upload, nothing happens. The update set doesnt appear.


THank you
