Deleting tasks

You can use the Process Admin Console or wsadmin commands to delete tasks and associated data and attachments from the Process database.

Using the Process Admin Console

  1. Click Server Admin > Workflow Admin > Task Cleanup.
  2. Select the desired cleanup options.
  3. Click Cleanup.
Important: To be able to delete tasks, your user ID must be mapped onto the BPESystemAdministrator role. To map a user ID to the BPESystemAdministrator role, use the admin console and navigate to Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applications, then select BPEContainer_clusterName > Security role to user/group mapping, select the BPESystemAdministrator role, click Map Users..., search for the user ID, add it to the BPESystemAdministrator role, save, synchronize, and restart BPEContainer_clusterName.

Using a wsadmin command

To delete task instances from the Process database, see BPMTasksCleanup wsadmin command.
