Export a Workflow

You can export a workflow by using the vRealize Orchestrator REST API and download the workflow as a file.

Note: You cannot export the input form presentation of workflows created in the HTML5-based vRealize Orchestrator Client by using the REST API. To export the workflow presentation, use the package feature of the vRealize Orchestrator Client.

Procedure

  1. In a REST client application, add a request header with the following values.
    • Name: accept
    • Value: application/zip
  2. Make a GET request at the URL of the workflow that you want to export: 
    GET https://{orchestrator_fqdn}/vco/api/workflows/{workflowID}/

Results

If the GET request is successful, you receive the status code 200. The workflow binary content is available as an attachment with a default file name workflow_name.workflow. You can save the file with a REST client application.
