• Understand the process of moving FileNet Workflow applications.
• Prepare for workflow application deployment.
• Export the application assets or extract the application assets from an application package.
• Analyze the impact of the deployment on the destination environment.
• Import the application assets and complete the application deployment.
• Use the FileNet Deployment Manager command line interface.

• Workflow System Administrator responsible for deploying the workflow application into other environments, for example Quality Assurance testing or Production.
• Workflow Author responsible for developing FileNet workflow applications who needs to package the application in preparation for deployment to other environments.
