Create

Creates a deployment.

Security Consideration

Deployments can contain custom code in form of scripts or EL expressions to customize process behavior. This may be abused for remote execution of arbitrary code.

Authorizations:

basicAuth

Request Body schema: multipart/form-data

tenant-id	string or null The tenant id for the deployment to be created.
deployment-source	string or null The source for the deployment to be created.
deploy-changed-only	boolean or null Default: false A flag indicating whether the process engine should perform duplicate checking on a per-resource basis. If set to true, only those resources that have actually changed are deployed. Checks are made against resources included previous deployments of the same name and only against the latest versions of those resources. If set to true, the option enable-duplicate-filtering is overridden and set to true.
enable-duplicate-filtering	boolean or null Default: false A flag indicating whether the process engine should perform duplicate checking for the deployment or not. This allows you to check if a deployment with the same name and the same resouces already exists and if true, not create a new deployment but instead return the existing deployment. The default value is false.
deployment-name	string or null The name for the deployment to be created.
deployment-activation-time	string or null <date-time> Sets the date on which the process definitions contained in this deployment will be activated. This means that all process definitions will be deployed as usual, but they will be suspended from the start until the given activation date. By default, the date must have the format `yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ`, e.g., `2013-01-23T14:42:45.000+0200`.
data	string or null <binary> The binary data to create the deployment resource. It is possible to have more than one form part with different form part names for the binary data to create a deployment.

Variable filtering expressions are comma-separated and are structured as follows: A valid parameter value has the form `key_operator_value`. `key` is the variable name, `operator` is the comparison operator to be used and `value` the variable value. Note: Values are always treated as `String` objects on server side. Valid operator values are: `eq` - equal to; `neq` - not equal to. `key` and `value` may not contain underscore or comma characters.
variableNamesIgnoreCase	boolean Match all variable names provided in `variables` and `processVariables` case- insensitively. If set to `true` variableName and variablename are treated as equal.
variableValuesIgnoreCase	boolean Match all variable values provided in `variables` and `processVariables` case- insensitively. If set to `true` variableValue and variablevalue are treated as equal.

Get Local Execution Variables

Retrieves all variables of a given execution by id.

Authorizations:

basicAuth

path Parameters

id

required

string

The id of the execution to retrieve the variables from.

query Parameters

deserializeValues

boolean

Determines whether serializable variable values (typically variables that store custom Java objects) should be deserialized on server side (default true).

If set to true, a serializable variable will be deserialized on server side and transformed to JSON using Jackson's POJO/bean property introspection feature. Note that this requires the Java classes of the variable value to be on the REST API's classpath.

If set to false, a serializable variable will be returned in its serialized format. For example, a variable that is serialized as XML will be returned as a JSON string containing XML.

Note: While true is the default value for reasons of backward compatibility, we recommend setting this parameter to false when developing web applications that are independent of the Java process applications deployed to the engine.

Historic Detail

Get Historic Details

Queries for historic details that fulfill the given parameters. The size of the result set can be retrieved by using the Get Historic Detail Count method.

Authorizations:

basicAuth

query Parameters

processInstanceId	string Filter by process instance id.
processInstanceIdIn	string Only include historic details which belong to one of the passed comma-separated process instance ids.
executionId	string Filter by execution id.
taskId	string Filter by task id.
activityInstanceId	string Filter by activity instance id.
caseInstanceId	string Filter by case instance id.
caseExecutionId	string Filter by case execution id.
variableInstanceId	string Filter by variable instance id.
variableTypeIn	string Only include historic details where the variable updates belong to one of the passed comma-separated list of variable types. A list of all supported variable types can be found here. Note: All non-primitive variables are associated with the type `serializable`.
tenantIdIn	string Filter by a comma-separated list of tenant ids.
withoutTenantId	boolean Only include historic details that belong to no tenant. Value may only be `true`, as `false` is the default behavior.
userOperationId	string Filter by a user operation id.
formFields	boolean Only include `HistoricFormFields`. Value may only be `true`, as `false` is the default behavior.
variableUpdates	boolean Only include `HistoricVariableUpdates`. Value may only be `true`, as `false` is the default behavior.
excludeTaskDetails	boolean Excludes all task-related `HistoricDetails`, so only items which have no task id set will be selected. When this parameter is used together with `taskId`, this call is ignored and task details are not excluded. Value may only be `true`, as `false` is the default behavior.
initial	boolean Restrict to historic variable updates that contain only initial variable values. Value may only be `true`, as `false` is the default behavior.
occurredBefore	string <date-time> Restrict to historic details that occured before the given date (including the date). Default format `yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ`, e.g., 2013-01-23T14:42:45.000+0200.
occurredAfter	string <date-time> Restrict to historic details that occured after the given date (including the date). Default format `yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ`, e.g., 2013-01-23T14:42:45.000+0200.
sortBy	string Enum: "processInstanceId" "variableName" "variableType" "variableRevision" "formPropertyId" "time" "occurrence" "tenantId" Sort the results lexicographically by a given criterion. Must be used in conjunction with the sortOrder parameter.
sortOrder	string Enum: "asc" "desc" Sort the results in a given order. Values may be asc for ascending order or desc for descending order. Must be used in conjunction with the sortBy parameter.
firstResult	integer Pagination of results. Specifies the index of the first result to return.
maxResults	integer Pagination of results. Specifies the maximum number of results to return. Will return less results if there are no more results left.
deserializeValues	boolean Determines whether serializable variable values (typically variables that store custom Java objects) should be deserialized on server side (default `true`). If set to `true`, a serializable variable will be deserialized on server side and transformed to JSON using Jackson's POJO/bean property introspection feature. Note that this requires the Java classes of the variable value to be on the REST API's classpath. If set to `false`, a serializable variable will be returned in its serialized format. For example, a variable that is serialized as XML will be returned as a JSON string containing XML. Note: While `true` is the default value for reasons of backward compatibility, we recommend setting this parameter to `false` when developing web applications that are independent of the Java process applications deployed to the engine.

Get Historic Detail

Retrieves a historic detail by id.

Authorizations:

basicAuth

path Parameters

id

required

string

The id of the detail.

query Parameters

deserializeValue

boolean

Determines whether serializable variable values (typically variables that store custom Java objects) should be deserialized on server side (default true).

If set to true, a serializable variable will be deserialized on server side and transformed to JSON using Jackson's POJO/bean property introspection feature. Note that this requires the Java classes of the variable value to be on the REST API's classpath.

If set to false, a serializable variable will be returned in its serialized format. For example, a variable that is serialized as XML will be returned as a JSON string containing XML.

Note: While true is the default value for reasons of backward compatibility, we recommend setting this parameter to false when developing web applications that are independent of the Java process applications deployed to the engine.

Valid operator values are: `eq` - equal to; `neq` - not equal to; `gt` - greater than; `gteq` - greater than or equal to; `lt` - lower than; `lteq` - lower than or equal to; `like`.
variableNamesIgnoreCase	boolean or null Match all variable names provided in variables case-insensitively. If set to `true` variableName and variablename are treated as equal.
variableValuesIgnoreCase	boolean or null Match all variable values provided in variables case-insensitively. If set to `true` variableValue and variablevalue are treated as equal.
orQueries	Array of objects or null (HistoricProcessInstanceQueryDto) A JSON array of nested historic process instance queries with OR semantics. A process instance matches a nested query if it fulfills at least one of the query's predicates. With multiple nested queries, a process instance must fulfill at least one predicate of each query (Conjunctive Normal Form). All process instance query properties can be used except for: `sorting` See the User Guide for more information about OR queries.
	Array of objects or null Apply sorting of the result

Set Removal Time Async (POST)

Sets the removal time to multiple historic process instances asynchronously (batch).

At least historicProcessInstanceIds or historicProcessInstanceQuery has to be provided. If both are provided, all instances matching query criterion and instances from the list will be updated with a removal time.

Authorizations:

basicAuth

Request Body schema: application/json

historicProcessInstanceIds	Array of strings or null The id of the process instance.
	object (HistoricProcessInstanceQueryDto) A historic process instance query which defines a group of historic process instances
hierarchical	boolean or null Sets the removal time to all historic process instances in the hierarchy. Value may only be `true`, as `false` is the default behavior.
updateInChunks	boolean or null Handles removal time updates in chunks, taking into account the defined size in `removalTimeUpdateChunkSize` in the process engine configuration. The size of the chunks can also be overridden per call with the `updateChunkSize` parameter. Enabling this option can lead to multiple executions of the resulting jobs, preventing the database transaction from timing out by limiting the number of rows to update. Value may only be `true`, as `false` is the default behavior.
updateChunkSize	integer or null <int32> Defines the size of the chunks in which removal time updates are processed. The value must be a positive integer between `1` and `500`. This only has an effect if `updateInChunks` is set to `true`. If undefined, the operation uses the `removalTimeUpdateChunkSize` defined in the process engine configuration.
absoluteRemovalTime	string or null <date-time> The date for which the instances shall be removed. Value may not be `null`. Note: Cannot be set in conjunction with `clearedRemovalTime` or `calculatedRemovalTime`.
clearedRemovalTime	boolean or null Sets the removal time to `null`. Value may only be `true`, as `false` is the default behavior. Note: Cannot be set in conjunction with `absoluteRemovalTime` or `calculatedRemovalTime`.
calculatedRemovalTime	boolean or null The removal time is calculated based on the engine's configuration settings. Value may only be `true`, as `false` is the default behavior. Note: Cannot be set in conjunction with `absoluteRemovalTime` or `clearedRemovalTime`.

Historic User Operation Log

Get User Operation Log (Historic)

Queries for user operation log entries that fulfill the given parameters. The size of the result set can be retrieved by using the Get User Operation Log Count method.

Note that the properties of operation log entries are interpreted as restrictions on the entities they apply to. That means, if a single process instance is updated, the field processInstanceId is populated. If a single operation updates all process instances of the same process definition, the field processInstanceId is null (a null restriction is viewed as a wildcard, i.e., matches a process instance with any id) and the field processDefinitionId is populated. This way, which entities were changed by a user operation can easily be reconstructed.

Historic Variable Instance

Get Variable Instances

Queries for historic variable instances that fulfill the given parameters. The size of the result set can be retrieved by using the Get Variable Instance Count method.

Authorizations:

basicAuth

query Parameters

variableName	string Filter by variable name.
variableNameLike	string Restrict to variables with a name like the parameter.
variableValue	object Filter by variable value. Is treated as a `String` object on server side.
variableNamesIgnoreCase	boolean Match the variable name provided in `variableName` and `variableNameLike` case- insensitively. If set to `true` variableName and variablename are treated as equal.
variableValuesIgnoreCase	boolean Match the variable value provided in `variableValue` case-insensitively. If set to `true` variableValue and variablevalue are treated as equal.
variableTypeIn	string Only include historic variable instances which belong to one of the passed and comma- separated variable types. A list of all supported variable types can be found here. Note: All non-primitive variables are associated with the type 'serializable'.
includeDeleted	boolean Include variables that has already been deleted during the execution.
processInstanceId	string Filter by the process instance the variable belongs to.
processInstanceIdIn	string Only include historic variable instances which belong to one of the passed and comma-separated process instance ids.
processDefinitionId	string Filter by the process definition the variable belongs to.
processDefinitionKey	string Filter by a key of the process definition the variable belongs to.
executionIdIn	string Only include historic variable instances which belong to one of the passed and and comma-separated execution ids.
caseInstanceId	string Filter by the case instance the variable belongs to.
caseExecutionIdIn	string Only include historic variable instances which belong to one of the passed and and comma-separated case execution ids.
caseActivityIdIn	string Only include historic variable instances which belong to one of the passed and and comma-separated case activity ids.
taskIdIn	string Only include historic variable instances which belong to one of the passed and and comma-separated task ids.
activityInstanceIdIn	string Only include historic variable instances which belong to one of the passed and and comma-separated activity instance ids.
tenantIdIn	string Only include historic variable instances which belong to one of the passed and comma- separated tenant ids.
withoutTenantId	boolean Only include historic variable instances that belong to no tenant. Value may only be `true`, as `false` is the default behavior.
variableNameIn	string Only include historic variable instances which belong to one of the passed and comma-separated variable names.
sortBy	string Enum: "instanceId" "variableName" "tenantId" Sort the results lexicographically by a given criterion. Must be used in conjunction with the sortOrder parameter.
sortOrder	string Enum: "asc" "desc" Sort the results in a given order. Values may be asc for ascending order or desc for descending order. Must be used in conjunction with the sortBy parameter.
firstResult	integer Pagination of results. Specifies the index of the first result to return.
maxResults	integer Pagination of results. Specifies the maximum number of results to return. Will return less results if there are no more results left.
deserializeValues	boolean Determines whether serializable variable values (typically variables that store custom Java objects) should be deserialized on server side (default `true`). If set to `true`, a serializable variable will be deserialized on server side and transformed to JSON using Jackson's POJO/bean property introspection feature. Note that this requires the Java classes of the variable value to be on the REST API's classpath. If set to `false`, a serializable variable will be returned in its serialized format. For example, a variable that is serialized as XML will be returned as a JSON string containing XML. Note: While `true` is the default value for reasons of backward compatibility, we recommend setting this parameter to `false` when developing web applications that are independent of the Java process applications deployed to the engine.

Message

Correlate

Correlates a message to the process engine to either trigger a message start event or an intermediate message catching event. Internally this maps to the engine's message correlation builder methods MessageCorrelationBuilder#correlateWithResult() and MessageCorrelationBuilder#correlateAllWithResult(). For more information about the correlation behavior, see the Message Events section of the BPMN 2.0 Implementation Reference.

Authorizations:

Request Body schema: application/json

messageName	string or null The name of the message to deliver.
businessKey	string or null Used for correlation of process instances that wait for incoming messages. Will only correlate to executions that belong to a process instance with the provided business key.
tenantId	string or null Used to correlate the message for a tenant with the given id. Will only correlate to executions and process definitions which belong to the tenant. Must not be supplied in conjunction with a `withoutTenantId`.
withoutTenantId	boolean or null Default: false A Boolean value that indicates whether the message should only be correlated to executions and process definitions which belong to no tenant or not. Value may only be `true`, as `false` is the default behavior. Must not be supplied in conjunction with a `tenantId`.
processInstanceId	string or null Used to correlate the message to the process instance with the given id.
	object or null Used for correlation of process instances that wait for incoming messages. Has to be a JSON object containing key-value pairs that are matched against process instance variables during correlation. Each key is a variable name and each value a JSON variable value object with the following properties.
	object or null Local variables used for correlation of executions (process instances) that wait for incoming messages. Has to be a JSON object containing key-value pairs that are matched against local variables during correlation. Each key is a variable name and each value a JSON variable value object with the following properties.
	object or null A map of variables that is injected into the triggered execution or process instance after the message has been delivered. Each key is a variable name and each value a JSON variable value object with the following properties.
	object or null A map of local variables that is injected into the execution waiting on the message. Each key is a variable name and each value a JSON variable value object with the following properties.
	object or null A map of variables that is injected into the new scope triggered by message correlation. Each key is a variable name and each value a JSON variable value object with the following properties.
all	boolean or null Default: false A Boolean value that indicates whether the message should be correlated to exactly one entity or multiple entities. If the value is set to `false`, the message will be correlated to exactly one entity (execution or process definition). If the value is set to `true`, the message will be correlated to multiple executions and a process definition that can be instantiated by this message in one go.
resultEnabled	boolean or null Default: false A Boolean value that indicates whether the result of the correlation should be returned or not. If this property is set to `true`, there will be returned a list of message correlation result objects. Depending on the all property, there will be either one ore more returned results in the list. The default value is `false`, which means no result will be returned.
variablesInResultEnabled	boolean or null Default: false A Boolean value that indicates whether the result of the correlation should contain process variables or not. The parameter resultEnabled should be set to `true` in order to use this it. The default value is `false`, which means the variables will not be returned.

Get Start Form Variables

Retrieves the start form variables for the latest process definition which belongs to no tenant (only if they are defined via the Generated Task Form approach). The start form variables take form data specified on the start event into account. If form fields are defined, the variable types and default values of the form fields are taken into account.

Authorizations:

basicAuth

path Parameters

key

required

string

The key of the process definition (the latest version thereof) to be retrieved.

query Parameters

variableNames

string

A comma-separated list of variable names. Allows restricting the list of requested variables to the variable names in the list. It is best practice to restrict the list of variables to the variables actually required by the form in order to minimize fetching of data. If the query parameter is ommitted all variables are fetched. If the query parameter contains non-existent variable names, the variable names are ignored.

deserializeValues

boolean

Default: true

Determines whether serializable variable values (typically variables that store custom Java objects) should be deserialized on server side (default true).

If set to true, a serializable variable will be deserialized on server side and transformed to JSON using Jackson's POJO/bean property introspection feature. Note that this requires the Java classes of the variable value to be on the REST API's classpath.

If set to false, a serializable variable will be returned in its serialized format. For example, a variable that is serialized as XML will be returned as a JSON string containing XML.

Note: While true is the default value for reasons of backward compatibility, we recommend setting this parameter to false when developing web applications that are independent of the Java process applications deployed to the engine.

Get Start Form Variables

Retrieves the start form variables for a process definition (only if they are defined via the Generated Task Form approach). The start form variables take form data specified on the start event into account. If form fields are defined, the variable types and default values of the form fields are taken into account.

Authorizations:

basicAuth

path Parameters

id

required

string

The id of the process definition to retrieve the variables for.

query Parameters

variableNames

string

A comma-separated list of variable names. Allows restricting the list of requested variables to the variable names in the list. It is best practice to restrict the list of variables to the variables actually required by the form in order to minimize fetching of data. If the query parameter is ommitted all variables are fetched. If the query parameter contains non-existent variable names, the variable names are ignored.

deserializeValues

boolean

Default: true

Determines whether serializable variable values (typically variables that store custom Java objects) should be deserialized on server side (default true).

If set to true, a serializable variable will be deserialized on server side and transformed to JSON using Jackson's POJO/bean property introspection feature. Note that this requires the Java classes of the variable value to be on the REST API's classpath.

If set to false, a serializable variable will be returned in its serialized format. For example, a variable that is serialized as XML will be returned as a JSON string containing XML.

Note: While true is the default value for reasons of backward compatibility, we recommend setting this parameter to false when developing web applications that are independent of the Java process applications deployed to the engine.

The id of the process instance to retrieve the variables from.

query Parameters

deserializeValues

boolean

Default: true

Determines whether serializable variable values (typically variables that store custom Java objects) should be deserialized on server side (default true).

If set to true, a serializable variable will be deserialized on server side and transformed to JSON using Jackson's POJO/bean property introspection feature. Note that this requires the Java classes of the variable value to be on the REST API's classpath.

If set to false, a serializable variable will be returned in its serialized format. For example, a variable that is serialized as XML will be returned as a JSON string containing XML.

Note: While true is the default value for reasons of backward compatibility, we recommend setting this parameter to false when developing web applications that are independent of the Java process applications deployed to the engine.

Signal

Event

A signal is an event of global scope (broadcast semantics) and is delivered to all active handlers. Internally this maps to the engine's signal event received builder method RuntimeService#createSignalEvent(). For more information about the signal behavior, see the Signal Events section of the BPMN 2.0 Implementation Reference.

Authorizations:

basicAuth

Request Body schema: application/json

name	string The name of the signal to deliver. Note: This property is mandatory.
executionId	string or null Optionally specifies a single execution which is notified by the signal. Note: If no execution id is defined the signal is broadcasted to all subscribed handlers.
	object or null A JSON object containing variable key-value pairs. Each key is a variable name and each value a JSON variable value object.
tenantId	string or null Specifies a tenant to deliver the signal. The signal can only be received on executions or process definitions which belongs to the given tenant. Note: Cannot be used in combination with executionId.
withoutTenantId	boolean or null If true the signal can only be received on executions or process definitions which belongs to no tenant. Value may not be false as this is the default behavior. Note: Cannot be used in combination with `executionId`.

Get List (POST)

Queries for tasks that fulfill a given filter. This method is slightly more powerful than the Get Tasks method because it allows filtering by multiple process or task variables of types String, Number or Boolean. The size of the result set can be retrieved by using the Get Task Count (POST) method.

Security Consideration: There are several parameters (such as assigneeExpression) for specifying an EL expression. These are disabled by default to prevent remote code execution. See the section on security considerations for custom code in the user guide for details.

Get Task Form Variables

Retrieves the form variables for a task. The form variables take form data specified on the task into account. If form fields are defined, the variable types and default values of the form fields are taken into account.

Authorizations:

basicAuth

path Parameters

id

required

string

The id of the task to retrieve the variables for.

query Parameters

variableNames

string

A comma-separated list of variable names. Allows restricting the list of requested variables to the variable names in the list. It is best practice to restrict the list of variables to the variables actually required by the form in order to minimize fetching of data. If the query parameter is ommitted all variables are fetched. If the query parameter contains non-existent variable names, the variable names are ignored.

deserializeValues

boolean

Default: true

Determines whether serializable variable values (typically variables that store custom Java objects) should be deserialized on server side (default true).

If set to true, a serializable variable will be deserialized on server side and transformed to JSON using Jackson's POJO/bean property introspection feature. Note that this requires the Java classes of the variable value to be on the REST API's classpath.

If set to false, a serializable variable will be returned in its serialized format. For example, a variable that is serialized as XML will be returned as a JSON string containing XML.

Note: While true is the default value for reasons of backward compatibility, we recommend setting this parameter to false when developing web applications that are independent of the Java process applications deployed to the engine.

Task Local Variable

Get Local Task Variables

Retrieves all variables of a given task by id.

Authorizations:

basicAuth

path Parameters

id

required

string

The id of the task to retrieve the variables from.

query Parameters

deserializeValues

boolean

Default: true

Determines whether serializable variable values (typically variables that store custom Java objects) should be deserialized on the server side (default true).

If set to true, a serializable variable will be deserialized on server side and transformed to JSON using Jackson's POJO/bean property introspection feature. Note that this requires the Java classes of the variable value to be on the REST API's classpath.

If set to false, a serializable variable will be returned in its serialized format. For example, a variable that is serialized as XML will be returned as a JSON string containing XML.

Note: While true is the default value for reasons of backward compatibility, we recommend setting this parameter to false when developing web applications that are independent of the Java process applications deployed to the engine.

Variable Instance

Get Variable Instances

Query for variable instances that fulfill given parameters. Parameters may be the properties of variable instances, such as the name or type. The size of the result set can be retrieved by using the Get Variable Instance Count method.

Authorizations:

basicAuth

query Parameters

variableName	string Filter by variable instance name.
variableNameLike	string Filter by the variable instance name. The parameter can include the wildcard `%` to express like-strategy such as: starts with (`%`name), ends with (name`%`) or contains (`%`name`%`).
processInstanceIdIn	string Only include variable instances which belong to one of the passed and comma-separated process instance ids.
executionIdIn	string Only include variable instances which belong to one of the passed and comma-separated execution ids.
caseInstanceIdIn	string Only include variable instances which belong to one of the passed and comma-separated case instance ids.
caseExecutionIdIn	string Only include variable instances which belong to one of the passed and comma-separated case execution ids.
taskIdIn	string Only include variable instances which belong to one of the passed and comma-separated task ids.
batchIdIn	string Only include variable instances which belong to one of the passed and comma-separated batch ids.
activityInstanceIdIn	string Only include variable instances which belong to one of the passed and comma-separated activity instance ids.
tenantIdIn	string Only include variable instances which belong to one of the passed and comma-separated tenant ids.
variableValues	string Only include variable instances that have the certain values. Value filtering expressions are comma-separated and are structured as follows: A valid parameter value has the form `key_operator_value`. `key` is the variable name, `operator` is the comparison operator to be used and `value` the variable value. Note: Values are always treated as `String` objects on server side. Valid operator values are: `eq` - equal to; `neq` - not equal to; `gt` - greater than; `gteq` - greater than or equal to; `lt` - lower than; `lteq` - lower than or equal to; `like`. `key` and `value` may not contain underscore or comma characters.
variableNamesIgnoreCase	boolean Match all variable names provided in `variableValues` case-insensitively. If set to `true` variableName and variablename are treated as equal.
variableValuesIgnoreCase	boolean Match all variable values provided in `variableValues` case-insensitively. If set to `true` variableValue and variablevalue are treated as equal.
variableScopeIdIn	string Only include variable instances which belong to one of passed scope ids.
sortBy	string Enum: "variableName" "variableType" "activityInstanceId" "tenantId" Sort the results lexicographically by a given criterion. Must be used in conjunction with the sortOrder parameter.
sortOrder	string Enum: "asc" "desc" Sort the results in a given order. Values may be asc for ascending order or desc for descending order. Must be used in conjunction with the sortBy parameter.
firstResult	integer Pagination of results. Specifies the index of the first result to return.
maxResults	integer Pagination of results. Specifies the maximum number of results to return. Will return less results if there are no more results left.
deserializeValues	boolean Determines whether serializable variable values (typically variables that store custom Java objects) should be deserialized on server side (default `true`). If set to `true`, a serializable variable will be deserialized on server side and transformed to JSON using Jackson's POJO/bean property introspection feature. Note that this requires the Java classes of the variable value to be on the REST API's classpath. If set to `false`, a serializable variable will be returned in its serialized format. For example, a variable that is serialized as XML will be returned as a JSON string containing XML. Note: While `true` is the default value for reasons of backward compatibility, we recommend setting this parameter to `false` when developing web applications that are independent of the Java process applications deployed to the engine.

variableScopeIdIn	Array of strings or null Only include variable instances which belong to one of passed scope ids.
	Array of objects or null An array of criteria to sort the result by. Each element of the array is an object that specifies one ordering. The position in the array identifies the rank of an ordering, i.e., whether it is primary, secondary, etc. Sorting has no effect for `count` endpoints

Get Variable Instance

Retrieves a variable by id.

Authorizations:

basicAuth

path Parameters

id

required

string

The id of the variable instance.

query Parameters

deserializeValue

boolean

Determines whether serializable variable values (typically variables that store custom Java objects) should be deserialized on server side (default true).

If set to true, a serializable variable will be deserialized on server side and transformed to JSON using Jackson's POJO/bean property introspection feature. Note that this requires the Java classes of the variable value to be on the REST API's classpath.

If set to false, a serializable variable will be returned in its serialized format. For example, a variable that is serialized as XML will be returned as a JSON string containing XML.

Note: While true is the default value for reasons of backward compatibility, we recommend setting this parameter to false when developing web applications that are independent of the Java process applications deployed to the engine.
