Deletion Policy

Question

Hi all, 
 
 I want to automate the change of the deletion policy of a Process model (PM) when it is deployed. My idea is as follow: 
 
 Look into PMs there were deployed. 
 Change the data retention to delete after 1 or 0 day 
 have a list of exceptions to not be updated when these are deployed. 
 To run this new PM for each new deploy 
 
 How Can I extract the UUID of the deployed PMs and then change their policy. 
 I did this in the past but with old plugins that are not available anymore (and in other cloud instance). 
 
 Thanks in advance

To extract the UUIDs, you can create a process report which can list all the process models AND their instances. From process report you will be able to extract Process model metadata. 
 AFAIK there is no plugin or smart service that can change the data management policy of any inflights or help you automate this. So changing the policy automatically is impossible.

You can probably achieve this by inspecting the deployment package. You can get it via the deployment API. 
 Once you have the zip, you can use Zip File Utilities to extract the contents and get the process model uuids.
