I am currently working on a DocuSign clm advanced workflow and i would like to know if i can download the workflow which is in executing status not the published one. Is there a way to do it.

Hello ​@Sri Ramya 

Welcome to the Docusign Community!

In DocuSign CLM Advanced Workflows, it is not possible to download or export a workflow that is in an executing (runtime) state.

Only saved (draft) or published workflows can be exported (for example, as a JSON file). Once a workflow is executing, it becomes a runtime instance and cannot be downloaded, exported, or reverse-engineered back into a design file.

This is by design, as executing workflows represent live runtime instances rather than reusable workflow definitions.

Thanks!

Hi ​@Sri Ramya 

Do you mean that you want to download the configuration version of the workflow that was published previously? 

For example you currently have version 2.3 published, but an old instance of version 2.2 is running. You want to get the workflow configuration as it was in 2.2?

If this is the case in the workflow configuration view, you can just select the version you need from the right hand side and Export JSON, which will give you the workflow as it was in that version, just to note, you can only ever go back up to 10 iterations of the workflow, so its highly recommended you create a new version if you exceed 9. 
 

 

If you are referring to extracting the actual data in the workflow, then as ​@Pawan Gangwani mention, you cannot get this execution data exported. You would have to manually check the variable in the activity view for more details
