Migrate from Flow Classic
Import workflows from Flow Classic in Hub
You can import workflow archive files (.wap) or individual Flow files (.flow) from Flow Classic into an application package in Flow Connect.
Import workflows
Start the import wizard available in the Application Library in Hub.
Select a file to import, and then select a destination application package.
Map connectors from the imported workflows to the connectors available in your organization. IFS OData connectors in Classic can be mapped to REST connectors in Connect.
Not all connectors in Classic can be mapped to a connector in Connect. Leave these unmapped and manage them manually after import.
For workflows using the IFS OData connector, a Map Projections step will be displayed. The import wizard will analyze all projections used in the workflows included in the file. Select the corresponding IFS OData module. Available modules with the same name as the projection will be automatically selected. Modules from the Application Library and the destination application package will be available.
If you want to generate missing modules before completing the wizard, copy the list of required projections by clicking the copy icon next to the IFS Projections header, and use them in the Batch Create IFS OData Modules application. When the modules are generated, refresh the available modules by clicking the refresh icon next to the FlowScript Modules header.
Confirm your import in the Import Overview step.
When the import wizard is complete, you can open the application package by clicking the link.
Continue by reviewing the imported applications and components.
Import workflows from Flow Classic in Windows Designer
You can import workflow archive files (wap-files) from Flow Classic into an Application Package in Flow Connect.
Export workflows
Begin by exporting your workflows, along with all dependencies, from Flow Classic.
To do this, navigate to Flow Classic Studio. From the server content view, choose the folder containing the workflows you wish to export. Then, save the wap-file to your disk.

The import wizard is started:
Select file to import.
Choose Organization.
Choose destination Application Package.
Map the connectors used in the workflows to then ones you have in the organization.
Confirm the content preview.
Done.
Review the imported applications and components
Open the package you selected during import. You should now see your imported applications and components. These items will initially be in an error state, requiring you to open and review them in the Designer.
Component references
If your application contains components, you need to make your first committed version of each component before they can be used by applications.
Locate your component and right click and select Edit Component to open.
Check the Problems tab to check for errors.
Typical errors might be that we are referencing a global Flow property that is not yet created in Connect or errors that wasn't possible to fix automatically in the new version of FlowScript.
When there are no errors left in the component, commit your first version.
Application
When components are committed, refresh the components in your application. Components will be refreshed and display the current version of the component.
Review and handle errors in the application. Dubbel click on the the error and the step will be highlighted.
Run your app in diagnostic mode to verify that it works .
