Delete Async (POST)

Deletes multiple process instances asynchronously (batch).

Method

POST /process-instance/delete

Parameters

Request Body

A JSON object with the following properties:

Name	Description
processInstanceIds	A list process instance ids to delete.
processInstanceQuery	A process instance query like the request body described by `POST /process-instance` .
deleteReason	A string with delete reason.
skipCustomListeners	Skip execution listener invocation for activities that are started or ended as part of this request.
skipSubprocesses	Skip deletion of the subprocesses related to deleted processes as part of this request.
failIfNotExists	If set to `false`, the request will still be successful if one ore more of the process ids are not found.

Response Body

A JSON object corresponding to the Batch interface in the engine. Its properties are as follows:

Name	Value	Description
id	String	The id of the batch.
type	String	The type of the batch. See the User Guide for more information about batch types.
totalJobs	Number	The total jobs of a batch is the number of batch execution jobs required to complete the batch.
jobsCreated	Number	The number of batch execution jobs already created by the seed job.
batchJobsPerSeed	Number	The number of batch execution jobs created per seed job invocation. The batch seed job is invoked until it has created all batch execution jobs required by the batch (see `totalJobs` property).
invocationsPerBatchJob	Number	Every batch execution job invokes the command executed by the batch `invocationsPerBatchJob` times. E.g., for a process instance migration batch this specifies the number of process instances which are migrated per batch execution job.
seedJobDefinitionId	String	The job definition id for the seed jobs of this batch.
monitorJobDefinitionId	String	The job definition id for the monitor jobs of this batch.
batchJobDefinitionId	String	The job definition id for the batch execution jobs of this batch.
suspended	Boolean	Indicates whether this batch is suspended or not.
tenantId	String	The tenant id of the batch.
createUserId	String	The id of the user that created the batch.

Response Codes

Code	Media type	Description
200	application/json	Request successful.
400	application/json	Returned if some of the query parameters are invalid, i.e., neither processInstanceIds, nor processInstanceQuery is present. See the Introduction for the error response format.
