Merge Process Instances

API Type

REST

HTTP Method

POST

Description

Merges 2 or more process instances into one process instance.

Good to Know

• These process instances must be based on the same process model.
• If more than one process instance is intended to perform the same operation, instead of having more than one process instance, you can merge all the process instances into a single process instance.
• To call this method, the API account user must have the access right, Cancel a Process.
• This method is provided for reference for very advanced users — mainly internal AgilePoint teams. If you need help with this method, contact AgilePoint Professional Services.
