Deployment of Custom Workflow activity in CRM 2011- Tips

As we all know, we could create custom workflow activities in on-premise deployments of CRM 2011.  This post is regarding the deployment of custom workflow activity.
Lets consider a scenario.
So imagine that we have a workflow say 'CalculateInterest' which has got a custom workflow activity namely 'InterestZonewise' in it. After the deployment to the production it was noticed that the workflow 'CalculateInterest' was turned into draft state and custom workflow activity in error state although it was in active state in DEVELOPMENT. 

Later it was found that we could resolve this problem by running IISRESET command in the PRODUCTION CRM Server. After the IISRESET, the custom workflow activity was identified by the CRM system and which also turned the workflow into active state.
