The Work XChange Upgrade Utility allows users to migrate workflows in a like for like fashion.  Options are available, allowing the administrator to only convert workflows they consider to be "in production", or only from databases that are active.  This utility may be used with any version of GlobalSearch, back to Version 4.2.  Customers prior to 4.2 would require an upgrade to at least version 4.2 Customers must be running version 4.5.2 or later before using the tool.  

Note
titleBefore Getting Started

You will need access to the SQL Server hosting your GlobalSearch databases. The utility offers two methods to authenticate to the database. If you are logged into Windows as a user with access to the database, no user credentials are required. Your logged in user will be used to authenticate automatically. Alternately, a SQL user account can be provided in the utility to authenticate with. Be sure you know what account credentials are required to access your GlobalSearch SQL Server Databases.

Using the conversion utility

A download link for the utility is available at the bottom of this document.  You must run the utility from the GlobalSearch server.  When the application starts, it attempts to determine where the GlobalSearch databases are and automatically specifies the SQL Server instance name.
