With this, the export and import process is complete for the designer components. Similar
to this, perform the migration for Workflow Manager components. When you migrate
components from the designer and Workflow Manager, you get two .xml files: one for
the designer mapping and the other for the Workflow Manager workflow. You will need to
import the XML file for mapping before you import the XML file for the workflow, as the
mappings are associated in the session task. So, if your mapping is not available, import-
ing the workflow with the session task will be invalid.
Migrating from Repository Manager
When you migrate the code from Repository Manger, you don't need to migrate the map-
ping and workflow separately. Repository Manager lets you migrate complete components
at once. So, the advantage of migrating the code from Repository Manager is that it saves
time and is an easier process. You get only one XML file instead of two files, as shown in
the previous section. To export all the components from Repository Manager together, se-
lect the workflow related to your code in the navigator and navigate to Repository | Ex-
port Objects , as shown in the following screenshot. Selecting the workflow will allow all
the components to be exported together.
