Export a process

You can export one or more process maps between TotalAgility installations.

You can export a process map even if it is locked. You can export all versions of a process map or export a specific version.

Save and release an active (saved but not released) process map before exporting it. Trying to export an active map that is not saved generates a message prompting you to save the map.

The following items associated with process map are automatically transferred or exported.

  • Maintenance access, functional access, and default usable resources

  • Workflow rules

  • Associated work types

  • Custom services

  • Data models

  • Web services along with web service category. Web services can also be exported manually/separately.

  • Checklist templates

  • Roles

  • Lookups

  • Server variables

  • Nested process maps

  • Classification group

  • Scan/VRS profiles

  • Separation profiles

  • PDF generation profiles

When you export a process map that contains an entity that uses a multilingual lookup, the multilingual lookup is exported with the entity.

When you export a process that has a predictive model defined, process weighting and score calculation are included in the version selected for export.

When you export a capture process, any Classification group, PDF generation profiles, Scan/VRS profiles and Separation profiles associated with the process are also exported.

If Available evaluate score and/or Completed evaluate score are configured for an activity, these properties are also exported for the selected process version.

Exporting a process that contains the following capture activities also exports the activities:

  • Extraction
  • Classification
  • PDF generation
  • Online learning
  • Scan
  • Validation
  • Verification
  • Document review

If you export resources with a process map, you can also export resource extensions to export all extended values stored against each resource.

In TotalAgility Azure and On-Premise Multi-Tenancy system, the maximum limit of the extraction and classification group is set to 500MB. When you exceed this limit, a message is displayed stating that the action cannot complete. You can configure this limit by updating the value for MaxCaptureProjectSize in the web.config file of TotalAgility Azure.

In TotalAgility On-Premise, the maximum limit of the extraction and classification group is set to 2GB. When you exceed this limit, a message is displayed stating that the action cannot complete.

  1. Navigate to Export.
  2. On the Export list, select Process.
  3. Click Add for Files to export.

    The Add files to export dialog box is displayed.

    Options Description

    General

    Generalized export

    If selected, exports a process map without setting up the entire job environment.

    When you export a process with Generalized Export option selected, a warning message is displayed. Click Yes to export a basic version of the process with minimal node configuration. If you click No, the option is cleared automatically.

    The Generalized export option does the following:

    • Converts automatic Script/.NET Script and Web Service activities to automatic VB Script activities.

      VBSCRIPT is not supported in on-premise multi-tenancy environment.

    • Changes the dynamic resource allocation tasks to static resources (they are assigned to the Everyone worker group).
    • Facilitates Kofax Technical Support to troubleshoot map issues more efficiently by letting - you export your problem process map in a state that it can be imported and run without additional setup.

    A message that exported process settings will be simplified, appears. On simplification, all the map settings are lost and all the activities are converted to automatic VB script activities with a script 'Dim a' (which has no functionality).

    Selecting the Generalized export option disables the .Net References with path option.

    .Net references with path

    Includes .Net references. (Default)

    Only the .Net references set to Local can be exported.

    Skins

    Exports the skins created on the template map. Each skin is exported as a separate XML file. To re-import skins, select the template map XML files and the XML files of the skins to import.

    The Skins option is only available for a Template type map.

    If selected, the test plan for the process is included in the export.

    Note: Only the test plan for a parent process is exported.

    Connector mappings

    If selected, exports the export connector mappings along with the process.
