Note: Cannot be set in conjunction with absoluteRemovalTime or clearedRemovalTime.
hierarchical Sets the removal time to all historic process instances in the hierarchy.

Result

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

Name Type 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.
startTime String The time the batch was started. Default format* yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ.
executionStartTime String The time the batch execution was started, i.e., at least one batch job has been executed. Default format* yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ.
