Migrating Workflow contexts

[sraina1]

We are in the processing of migrating from an leveraged to a dedicated instance of ServiceNow. 

As a result we want to migrate all the open and active tasks(incidents, problems, change_requests etc) and their associated workflows.

We have been trying to perform the same exercises on a sandbox instance and we have encountered issue with migrating workflow contexts for the existing open change requests on Production.
We have migrated the following table between instances:

change_request
change_task
sysapprover_approval
task_ci
conflict
wf_context
wf_executing
wf_history
wf_transition_history
wf_workflow
wf_workflow_version
wf_activity
wf_transition
wf_condition
wf_workflow_binding

So the workflow contexts have been migrated with their current execution status correctly displayed .however , the workflows do not proceed further as expected, i.e, when a task or closed or an approval is completed the workflow behaves unexpectedly each time. 

Has anyone had experience of migrating workflows this way ? Is there is better approach to this? Am I missing something?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Hello Sraina,

I had the same issue recently and based on your question above I came up with a solution which can be found here. I'm not sure if it's too late to help you but perhaps it can be used in the future.

Kind regards,
