Kiwi offers you the possibility to move complex workflows from a JIRA system to another just with the click of your mouse.
...
This can be done from the Export page that is accessible from the main KIWI page, which can be found in the Administration view, Plugins-> KIWI.
Here you will find a combo-box from which you can select the workflow you want to export.
| Info | ||
|---|---|---|

We choose not to allow the export of The workflow "The default JIRA workflow" due to the fact that can not be exported because this is a read only workflow. |
As the description on the page informs, you are about to export a JIRA Workflow with all its dependencies (associated statuses, issue types, custom fields and screens).
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(the pre-import files) or after(the post-import files) executing the main import.
In order to add a pre-import file, press the 'Add Pre-Import File' button that will open a pop-up dialog where you can choose a sil file from the kiwi home folder("PATH_TO_JIRA_HOME/kepler/kiwi"):
Press the Add button from the pop-up, and you will see the chosen script file above the 'Add Pre-Import File' button. The script will be added to the exported kiwi file when pressing the Export button.
If there there is no sil script file in the Kiwi home folder(PATH_TO_JIRA_HOME/kepler/kiwi), the pop-up will show a 'No script file' error message:

| NOTE: if you are using our JJUPIN plugin and you have created SIL scripts (validators, conditions or post-functions) on the transitions of the exported workflow, these SIL scripts will be exported too. |
...
If everything workes as planned, you'll see a SUCCESS message on the screen. The message also shows you were to find your exported workflow file. The directory in which to look is 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 with the extension .kwi.
(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.
After this operation you have a brand new KIWI file that you should copy to your JIRA system where you'll do the import. Now you've just left Sunda.
