Process Management Services

Overview

Contains smart services to allow processes to manage other processes, manage node activity, upgrade process version and update locales.

Example use cases:

• Orchestrate process removal and archival within your application (e.g. synchronize the deletion/archival of subprocesses and related processes)
• Bulk delete testing processes that are no longer needed
• Cancel a process (or many) from another process without using messaging or MNI
• Set the status of a process to Cancelled for reporting purposes
• Orchestrate node activity
• Override or make additions to the security role-map of a list of process instances.

NOTE: The unarchival functionality of this plug-in is incompatible with distributed environments and will not function. Instead, utilize the OOTB unarchival functionality available in Appian 25.2 and later.
