Is workflow template is client-independent or client-dependent?
Q2: How do I transport workflow template from a server(client A) to another server (client B)?
Q3: Where can I learn more about workflow?


A1: Workflow templates are client independent, however, some of the configuration associate with them is client dependent.
A2: Workflows are transported using the standard SAP transport Mechanism (TMS). When you create/change a workflow you will be prompted for a change request. When that transport is released, your workflow will be transported to the target system.
A3: In a previous question I have recommended that people go through the tutorial that is available on SAPNET or at http://help.sap.com. However, I will say, that there is no substitute for a good instructor. A good instructor can show you how to avoid pitfalls and implement efficient workflows. These are not the sort of things that are covered in the tutorial.
