Archival / Deletion for instances

@mohamedt Afaik the archival policy for a canceled instance works the same way for a completed instance, that is both inherits the archival/deletion settings from the process model. For instance, if the archival duration is set as 7 days on the process model, the completed, as well as canceled instances will be archived after 7 days. At least I haven't come across a scenario where I would have to design the functionality that will treat completed and canceled in a different manner.

With regards to Paused by Exception, I don't think the archival/deletion policy applies(until the completion or cancellation of the process takes place) as the Paused by Exception status means that a process has got a problem in it which needs to be dealt with in order to proceed ahead and complete.
