Archive Process Instance

API Type

Web Services

Description

Archives a process instance based on the specified process instance identifier by moving the set of process instance records from the workflow database to the archive database.

Good to Know

  • The process instance records and all of the associated data are deleted from the AgilePoint database.
  • The process instance to be archived must be in Completed or Cancelled status.
  • If you archive a process instance, and find that the same process instance was archived, it first deletes the old instance record from the archive database before archiving.
  • To call this method, the API account user must have the access right, Archive and restore process(es).
