You can call REST APIs to clear the lsw_deployment_package table in the authoring environment.

Before you begin

Before you clear the deployment packages, make sure that you have Read permission or are a repository administrator.

Procedure

Construct a BPMCSRFToken parameter for the authoring environment server by using POST/system/login to obtain it. Each subsequent API call requires this header, for example:

curl -X POST -H "${ACCESS_TOKEN_HEADER}" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Accept: 
application/json' -d '{"refresh_groups": true, "requested_lifetime": 7200}'
'https://zen-front-door-hostname/instance_prefix/ops/system/login
'

The URL might be, for example:

https://cpd-cp4ba.apps.cp4ba-ca.55baw.p1.openshiftapps.com/baw-bawins1/ops/system/login

You get a response such as this:

{"expiration":7200,"csrf_token":"eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJleHAiOjE2NDI2MTA2NjcsInN1YiI6ImNwNGFkbWluIn0.8742sRV3CTHN_fY45W-29_CrqeuOqRlFWPFItCKnodI"}

The response has a csrf_token value that you can set as the parameter value. For example, the variable $CSRF_TOKEN_HEADER is set to BPMCSRFToken: <csrf_token_value> for the respective server.

To delete all deployment packages for all servers, run the following API in the authoring environment: DELETE/std/bpm/server/workflow/install_packages. Provide the BPMCSRFToken from Step 1.
To delete deployment packages for a particular server, run following API in the authoring environment: /std/bpm/servers/workflow/{name}/install_packages. Provide the BPMCSRFToken from Step 1. If it is not a generic deployment, provide the name of the deployed server.
