...
- Go to Jira Administration > Add-ons > KIWI
- Go to Export page
3. Select the workflow you want to export from a combo-box. The page informs, you are about to export a Jira Workflow with all its dependencies (associated statuses, issue types, custom fields and screens).
| Info | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
The workflow "The default Jira workflow" can not be exported because this is a read only workflow. |
You can add to your exported workflow a list of pre-import and post-import sil files that will be executed on the Import Jira instance, before or after executing the main import. You definitely know about sil script files if you are using our Power Scripts for Jira app. SIL, or Simple Issue Language is very easy to learn yet powerful and extensible: it's a Java-like language with no dependence on Jira version, offering power through simplicity and flexibility.

5. You'll see a SUCCESS message on the screen. The exported file can be found in the KIWI home folder (this can be found at "PATH_TO_JIRA_HOME/kepler/kiwi"). Here you will find a new zip file named after your exported workflow(the name is a concatenation of the exported workflow name, the current date in the format yyyyMMddHHmm and .kwi) for instance, Workflowfortest_201310071619.kwi.zip is the file obtained by exporting the workflow Workflowfortest at local time 07.10.2013, 16:19.
Now you have a brand new KIWI file that you should copy to your Jira system where you'll do the import.
