process model delete

No, running process instances are not impacted.

To test this, we created a dummy process and ran multiple instances;

 

And then deleted he main process, leaving the running instances as it is;

 

The processes were still running and were completed successfully;

 

 

 

 

Hi,

Process model is like a Class we define in Java.
Process model instance is like an Object in Java.

When think in Object Oriented Programming way, we can understand that a Process Model is a definition where as Process Instance is something live in the server, Apparently both don't have any dependency on each other.

When we update a Process Model and publish, it will not modify existing and running instances of same Process Model. This is another cross reference to confirm if we delete a Process Model it does NOT affect running Process Instances.

Hope this justifies your doubts.
Thanks!

Hi,

There will not be any impact on running process instances if you delete or modify any process model.

Hi,

There will be no impact on any of the running process instances if we delete any of the process model as instances has already been created.

Hi,

What will happen if we update the process model?
Will it impact the running process instances?

No, It will not impact on already running process instances.
If you wanted to apply the changes to already running instances, you need to do process upgrade.
