Transporting workflows from 4.6c to ECC6?

[Catherall, Andy]

Hi
 
Is it possible to [successfully] transport 4.6c workflow developments
(esp. WS objects) to ECC6? 
 
We still have our 4.6c path-to-production, and we have our parallel ECC6
project landscape for the upgrade. Some urgent changes/fixes have been
made to a few of our production workflows, and these transports have
been cloned back into our ECC6 Dev & Sandbox systems.
 
That has not gone well... :o(
 
We have noticed two key features:
1) In most cases, the WS objects are not activating. There is no error,
nor any clear warning explaining why not.
2) In most cases, we have seen warnings along the following lines:
 
    different nametabs for table HRS1212
    different nametabs for table SWBRULECOU
    etc.
Clearly, the 'new' tables are of a different size to the 4.6c tables,
hence the offsets are incorrect. 
 
However, in at least one example - involving two WS templates - the
activations did occur despite the warnings.
 
 
So, is there evidence/experience of successful transports of this nature
out there, and I just need to find the appropriate correction or fix?
Or, is this approach impossible?
 
 
I further note that we are only on SAPKB70103 - 4,5 & 6 exist, so I am
working my way through these notes to see if there are any solutions.
For example, note 1276795 may help, though it does not sound ideal. 

Thanks again, guys!
