Hi All, Sub-process got deleted due to data management policy set to one da

Hi All,
Sub-process got deleted due to data management policy set to one day and its parent process instance still exists on the environment (with its data management policy of 7 days)
We need to find out which was the parent process instance of that deleted sub-process instance.

No fruitful results/analysis were found on examining the server logs.
Also, creating report with ParentProcessId/Child Process Id on that process is not significant, as the sub process is already deleted and no longer exists.

Is there any way, wherein we can identify the parent process instance of the deleted child process ?
Many thanks in advance!

If you are storing in a process variable the child PV at the parent process level you could build a report to show that PV in the report. Since the PV is of type Number even if the process gets deleted you should still have the value in the PV.

If you're not storing this information but the process was archived and not deleted you can unarchive it using a known criteria (other than the pp!id if unknown) forum.appian.com/.../Managing_Process_Archives.html

Hi Eduardo,

I wanted to unarchive the process instances of a process model with help of its uuid.I have run this script 'archiveprocess.bat (.sh) unarchive -pmuuid 004bdabc-af9c-8000-4595-010000010000' in server.Though i see the message that these are sucessfully unarchived neither i see these instances under the subprocess tab of its parent process instance nor i am able to view them in the monitor mode. It says this instance is not available to view.Please help me. Thanks in advance.

Every time you unarchive something a log is generated under <APPIAN_HOME>\\logs. The log should show the process IDs that were unarchived.

You can then access those instances using /suite/proc/XXXX where XXXX is the ID from the log. This way you can confirm they were unarchived.

I'm thinking you didn't unarchive the instances you needed but only the ones from the parent process.
