Interesting design you have. If this is a process task, why not add an escalation, skipping that task after 1 day.

For existing instances, I would do the clean up manually.

Well, we have got an interface that is waiting to calls from a plugin. So it has an active task always, and it wont be closed. We want something to close the process that has that interface after 1 day maybe to clean up the memory of the enviroment.

In any application I know, you cannot just kill processes. Active processes have active tasks and represent actual work to be done. Killing them would be harmful to the application.

Would you mind elaborating your situation?

I want to close processes if they are not completed in 1 day. I want to do that because we have a lot of open processes and the enviroment is too slow. So I want something to close processes and their sons. It is possible?

"Deadline" in a process model is to set the target date time for process completion. It is majorly used for reporting purposes like to get the number of processes that have passed the target deadline. numoverdueprocessesforprocessmodel() - This function will return such process data.

It has nothing to do with killing the processes.

A process deadline is not doing anything actively.

What do you want to achieve?
