We are currently using Nintex for Sharepoint 2016 on premise and seeking to migrate our workflows to Nintex Workflow asap with Sharepoint 2016 out of support 3 months ago.
We have a total of 133 active workflows to be migrated, of which 34 are simple workflows with one action.
The approach we plan to use is as per the Nintex CE platform help.
1.Run the workflow extraction script
2. Import package file
3. Upgrade the workflows
4. Review and update workflows in Nintex Workflow
5. Review task forms
6. Publish workflows
We are planning to migrate our Nintex for Sharepoint 2016 forms to Sharepoint SE, but migrate the workflows only to Nintex Workflow.
My understand from watching Migrating to Nintex Workflow: Webinar Series and other community articles is that step 4 and step 5 could take some time to reconfigure workflow actions that are not compatible with Nintex Workflow. We will also need to open all task forms and review the form controls and configure any controls that require configuration.
I anticipate each workflow could take 1-2 days to configure and test, so a minimum of 100+ days (5 months or more) effort to fix all workflows to be Nintex Workflow compatible!
Does anybody in the community know of a more efficient way to upgrade our workflows other than the 6 steps listed above?
One option being considered is whether or not AI could be used to remediate the NWF (WML) files extracted prior to importing the packing file so that we don’t have to manually fix each workflow after performing the upgrade.
Any suggestions or tips for the most efficient way to perform this upgrade would be much appreciated.
