KIWI KIWI™ offers you the possibility to move complex workflows from a Jira system to another just with the click of your mouse.
...
- Go to Jira Administration > Add-ons > KIWIKIWI™
- Go to the 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 the main import is executed. You definitely know about sil script files if you are using our Power Scripts Scripts™ for Jira app. SIL SIL™, or Simple Issue LanguageLanguage™ 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.

- Click the Add button from the pop-up

- The script will be added to the exported kiwi kiwi™ file when clicking the Export button

| NOTE: if you are using our Power Scripts Scripts™ for Jira app and you have created SIL SIL™ scripts (validators, conditions or post functions) on the transitions of the exported workflow, these SIL SIL™ scripts will be exported too. |
...
5. You'll see a SUCCESS message on the screen. The exported file can be found in the KIWI 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 KIWI™ file that you should copy to your Jira system where you'll do the import.
