We don't want them to pile up so we need to have them deleted. Our first attempt was to add an event listener for JOB_EXECUTION_FAILURE and call RuntimeService.deleteProcessInstance from there - doesn't work, no exceptions but process instance not deleted either. If the event listener does not call deleteProcessInstance immediately but schedules a Timer for say 2 minutes, process instance is deleted however this doesn't look like a clean solution, more like a workaround. Any recommendations? I found similar questions in the forum but nothing solid. Thanks.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Ivaylo</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Sat, 20 Feb 2016 11:42:27 GMT izlatanov 2016-02-20T11:42:27Z Automatically delete a process instance on failure https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/automatically-delete-a-process-instance-on-failure/m-p/216674#M169804 Hello,Beginner question here: is it possible to automatically (i.e. programmatically) delete a process instance data from runtime if the process fails with exception?Details: we have some processes with async steps that we never rerun if they fail.

Your process has to throw BpmnError which can be caught by boundary catching error event associated with the given process.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Regards</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Martin</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 22 Feb 2016 09:35:12 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/automatically-delete-a-process-instance-on-failure/m-p/216675#M169805 martin_grofcik 2016-02-22T09:35:12Z Re: Automatically delete a process instance on failure https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/automatically-delete-a-process-instance-on-failure/m-p/216676#M169806 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hello Martin,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>simply beautiful solution, thanks !</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Ivaylo</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 22 Feb 2016 16:14:34 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/automatically-delete-a-process-instance-on-failure/m-p/216676#M169806 izlatanov 2016-02-22T16:14:34Z
