SP On-Prem Version: SharePoint Subscription Edition

Nintex Workflows & Forms

 

We’re migrating to a new SP Farm with a new Web Application URL and have hundreds/thousands of workflows with the Old URL in them, from emails to WF actions. 

 

Has anyone been successful in automating the process of discovering WFs that need modified and effectively doing a “find and replace” within the workflow actions? 

 

Bonus: Nintex Forms also will need to be updated.

Fineee. I wrote a script already no worries. Will post it if I get time to clean it up. 

  1. WF Discovery
  2. Export to nwf file using nwadmin
  3. Find/replace using PowerShell in the nwf files. Output modified files to new dir. 
  4. Redeploy all workflows using nwadmin and a new service account. 

A bonus was, we’re doing a domain migration too so all the runas accounts needed changed anyways. Two birds! 

(Took about 2hrs for 800+ WFs)
