How to delete the instances of a sub process upon completion that was started by the Start Process Smart Service node?

That is a good technical solution. I actually missed the "Delete Process" smart service in that plugin.

But, keep in mind that the data management configuration for that common object is probably on purpose. So when you delete these instances earlier than expected, this might become a problem when trying to debug.

Hello Rajarajeswari

Can we make any changes to the Child/sub-process with no changes in the data management.

If we can add few more nodes below is an solution:

Create a new process with Delete processes plugin. Use the process ids as Parameter. Process Management Services
Call this model in a start process node of your Sub-process (Generate groups to send email) with a XOR(this will be a Boolean value that will be passed from parent model) to define whether the current instance should be deleted or not.
Make sure you place a timer in the delete process model to ensure

If you cannot edit the existing model, use the below

Pass the Parent process id into child process as parentId Process variable
Create a process analytical report for the child process where parentId is not null and for completed instances
add a XOR after the Smart service process in parent process - to check if the count of completed instance = count of process triggered by smart service . if it yes than call delete process smart service (plugin) pass the process id from the report else put a timer of 1 min and roll back to XOR

I do not know of a way to delete completed process instances from a process. I checked some of the plugins without finding any function.

I suggest to contact the maintainer of that common object and suggest reducing that number of days.
