Migrate / Move list workflow from one site to another (say from stage or test to production server )
Today it was time for me to move my approved workflow form stage to production server and i thought it was easily doable by using the export to visio feature. But later when i exported it and imported on production i received the following error message :
This workflow cannot be imported because it was created in SharePoint Designer for a different site, or the original workflow has been moved or deleted. To move a workflow between sites, use Save as Template (.wsp file) instead of a Visio workflow drawing.
This annoyed me and started to look out for some options. And i found a wonderful link which helped me out : http://chanakyajayabalan.wordpress.com/2012/01/02/copyingmoving-sharepoint-2010-designer-workflows/
Thanks to the author for the wonderful solution !
Hope this will solve your issue as well !
