Hi,
My use case is this:
- We have set automatic deletion for process 4 days fater its termination
- If users report some issue, we archived process involved using Process Management Utilities plugin, just to be sure that we dont lose all the data about what user did, services responses, and so on. We are assuming that archives process remains there until we manually remove them when issue get solved.
- To see all the info about process execution on a better view, our idea is unarchive the process using the aforementioned plugin
My question is, ¿once we get a process unarchived will Appian remove it if its retention period is expired? In my case, ¿will Appian remove the unarchived process when the 4 days period is over?
¿What happen if we unarchived a process after the 4 days period?
Regards

In 14 years, I never unarchived a process and made it our best practice to delete processes after a minimal period. To understand what a user did, we use an audit trail that records any relevant user activity. Now, even easier with record events.
Thank you Stefan. I agree with you about audit trail use, but this Application has a unusally high number of services orchestrated, so the amount of data to be traced is a little bit owerhelming.
Beside that, fortunately it is no frequent that we have issues, so we get all the info we need into the archived process.
Hope anyone else can answer my questions.
Once we unarchived a process instance, it can be rearchived using archiveprocess.bat or manually delete it. Automatic archive settings do not apply to unarchived processes. It will remain in the Appian environment as long as we keep it as it is.
archiveprocess.bat or manually delete it
Thank you, that's what I need to know
