The easiest way to import and export workflows is through BlueCat Gateway UI.

To import a workflow file using the Gateway UI:

  1. Open the Workflow management window. (Click the Navigator button if necessary, then click Administration > Workflow management.)

  2. Click Import.

  3. In the Import workflows window, select the workflow package that you want to import:

    1. In Import source, select Upload.

    2. Drag the workflow TAR package file onto the box area (below the Import source field), or click in the box area to browse to a file.

      You can import any exported workflow file. Importable files are TAR package files (.tar).

    When you're done, click Import, then confirm the operation

    Attention: New workflows will overwrite existing workflows if they have the same name and category. Existing workflows are backed up in the container in the folder bluecat_portal/backup_storage. However, this backup contains only the most recent version, and will itself overwrite any previous backups. If you want to retain a history of workflow changes, archive the backup to an external location immediately.
  4. (Optional, but recommended) After importing the workflow, refresh your browser, then assign appropriate permissions to user groups for the new workflow. For more details, see Setting page and REST endpoint permissions.

    If you do not assign user groups to the workflow, only admin users will be able to use or see it.

To export a workflow file using the BlueCat Gateway user interface:

  1. Open the Workflow management window. (Click the Navigator button if necessary, then click Administration > Workflow management.)

  2. In the row of the workflow that you want to export, click its action button at the end of the table () and select Export.

  3. Enter (or browse to) the path and name on your host machine where you want the exported workflow file to be stored.
