Use a REST API to delete tokens.
Before you begin
The Process Portal action policies govern
security permissions for token management features. Before you delete tokens, ensure the
ACTION_DELETE_TOKEN action policy is configured to allow you to delete tokens and
that you are a member of the default security group that is assigned to the action policy.
Procedure
-
Use the Delete token REST API to delete a process instance token. For interface details, see
REST interface for BPD-related resources - Process Instance Resource - POST (delete
token) Method.
/rest/bpm/wle/v1/process/instance_ID?action=deleteToken&tokenId=
token_ID[&resume=resume_value]
-
Provide the information for the following parameters of the API:
- instance_ID - the instance ID number of the process instance containing
tokens to be deleted
- action - the action to be taken (deleteToken)
- token_ID - the token ID number of the token you want to delete
- resume_value - the action used to resume the instance after deleting the
token (set to
true
or false
); the default value is true
.
-
Find the token ID for a particular process instance in one of the following places:
- The Process Designer Inspector shows the tokens
when you view a particular instance.
- The Process Inspector in the Process Admin console lists the tokens for an instance if they are
orphaned.
- The GET method of the process instance REST interface returns details about a process instance
including its tokens. For more information, see REST interface for BPD-related resources - Process Instance Resource - GET
Method.
-
Run the REST API to delete the token.
