Hi all,

A project in my company is asking my team to duplicate a group of workflows and jobs, to be able to test them in a new environment.  Explained them if we (or them), duplicate objects, they will require a new name, which make the workflow not working because it will be still looking for the old names.

Is there any process, trick you have used in the past, to duplicate jobs and workflows and, at the same time, changing the jobs names in the workflow so, it works after the duplication?

I hope I was able to clearly explain my need/idea/

Hi @Oscar Leon

I would do the following:

  1. Duplicate your parent workflow in AWI
  2. export it with References in XML format
  3. modify the XML-file where needed (e.g. change names, remove not needed elements)
  4. import the XML-file
