Deleting a version

If the version of the project you want to delete is not the first version on a branch or it is exactly the same as the current version, you can delete it in IBM Business Automation Studio by selecting Delete on the version's three-dot menu. Otherwise, use a REST API call to delete a version.

To use a REST API call to delete a version, you must be a member of the administrator group.

Call the operations REST API

DELETE
https://host:port/ops/std/bpm/containers/acronym/versions

where acronym is the acronym of the project that contains the versions to delete.

Note:

Ensure you provide the version acronyms and archive named versions.
BPMCSRFToken is required for this REST API. For more information, see Preventing cross site request forgery.

The following examples illustrate how to use the REST API to delete versions:

Delete archived named versions V01 and V02 of the TK1 toolkit:

DELETE http://host:port/ops/std/bpm/containers/TK1/versions?versions=V01,V02

Delete all unnamed versions except the tip version of toolkit TK1:

DELETE http://host:port/ops/std/bpm/containers/TK1/versions?kept_number=0

Delete all unnamed versions of business application (application) APP1 created before version V20:
```
DELETE http://host:port/ops/std/bpm/containers/APP1/versions?created_before_snapshot=V20
```
Delete all unnamed versions of application APP1 created before a point in time:
```
DELETE http://host:port/ops/std/bpm/containers/APP1/versions?created_before=2016-10-01T00:00:00-06:00
```
Remember: To specify a time zone that is ahead of UTC, you must encode the + symbol as %2B. For example, for the Central European Time zone +01:00, you must use %2B01:00 in your URL. Alternatively, you can specify a UTC date, for example created_before=2016-01-01T01:00:00Z.
