To distribute your workflow application to others, you can create a template and either save it to a file or save it directly to a server. By saving it to a file, you can distribute the template to different servers or to a named instance on the same server. If you want to store the database and the Web site on two different servers, you can specify each location when you create an instance of the template.
**Note **Be sure that the target server or named instance has Workflow Services for SQL Server installed.
To save a template to a server
- Open the Workflow Manager for SQL Server, and click the Templates tab.
- Select the task you would like to perform.
- To save a template file from another server to your current server or named instance, click Import from File. Browse to the location of the file, and click Open.
- To save a template file to a different server or named instance, select a template from the list, and click Export to File. Browse to the location where you want to save the file, enter a file name, and click Save.
