Importing/Exporting workflows
Feb/083
Today I ran into a very strange Siebel bug in Tools.
I modified a workflow on our development environment and because we’re in the last week of our UAT phase I wanted to deploy it immediately on the UAT server.
So I connected with Tools to UAT and after doing an export of the workflow from Dev, I tried to import it into UAT.
After selecting the project I wanted the workflow to add to, Siebel gave me the following error which seemed a bit strange:’Cannot perform UpdateRecord on the Business Component Repository WorkflowProcess (SBL-EAI-04421)’
After trying several things, I asked a more experience colleague for help. As it turned out, the solutions was very simple. There where already 11 versions of this workflow and for importing a workflow, this was to much.
So if you run into this error, first delete all obsolete versions of your workflow and retry importing the new workflow. It should work like a charm.

I spent several ours asking some Siebel Consutants. I then researched this issue in support web wich was down for a while.
Who know’s how much time I would have saved if I had found your blog earlier.
Good job!!!
