Hi, First it is duplicate post. Your question is almost answered in this thread the why did you start new thread? http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointadmin/thread/ef0177c8-60de-4d8a-898f-e8eea9e1804e Secondly please check this thread for your satisfaction: http://www.sharepointdev.net/sharepoint--workflow/how-can-i-migrate-site1-from-server1-to-server2-by-include-workflow-48937.shtml Cheers, Hemendra-MCTS "Yesterday is just a memory,Tomorrow we may never see"

Hi Hemendra, I ask 3 question in my previous post(first Link)and I think they are about same topic ,but Moderator delete number 2 , 3 of my question and said that my questions are very different to each other and need a new thread.(at least one) According to your second link,there is no way to have SPD workflow either backup from site collection or “save as a template” of list.I can’t believe that I have to create all of my SPD workflow again in destination site,there is not logical for me L it’s very time-consuming.

> ,but Moderator delete number 2 , 3 of my question and said that my questions are very different to each other and need a new thread.(at least one) Here is the Moderator confirming just that. Sorry, Hemendra, you've been very helpful to me pointing out duplicate threads, but this time you must have seen the luckstar post before I amended it. Presumably the thread was cached in your machine because otherwise I can't see how you could find a thread that by the time this thread was started had already been amended and these two questions removed from it.

Hi luchstar, Actually I was not worry about your 2nd and 3rd questions because i knew you have only one issue and that is "How you can move designer workflow from development machine to production". That is way there is no sense of your 2nd and 3rd questions here. I had told you that there is no way to move designer workflow (as per my knowledge). You have to create again on your destination site Or you can migrate you SPD workflow to VS workflow. I give you some more reference links for your satisfaction http://www.endusersharepoint.com/2008/12/08/why-can%E2%80%99t-i-easily-port-sharepoint-designer-workflow-solutions-from-one-list-to-another-part-1/ http://www.sharepointdev.net/sharepoint--workflow/how-can-i-migrate-site1-from-server1-to-server2-by-include-workflow-48937.shtml If you find any other workaround of your problem please share with us Mike: I had seen all the questions and i thought there is only one question in his mind that "Moving SPD workflow". That's why i said it is duplicate. Cheers, Hemendra-MCTS "Yesterday is just a memory,Tomorrow we may never see"
