Reset Process Instances

When testing process flows, you may need to restart from scratch. The Lowgile runtime persists process instances, including running and completed workflows, which can affect subsequent tests.

• You want to restart a workflow from the beginning,
• Existing tasks are interfering with testing, or
• You have updated the process model and need to retest from a clean state.

This guide shows how to remove these process instances before retesting.

Open the Lowgile console

Use the Lowgile console to run system commands in the current environment.

Figure 1:

Open console button located in the top-right corner of the design editor header bar

1. Open the application in the Lowgile design editor.
2. In the top-right corner of the header bar, click the Open console button.

Delete all process instances

Run the following command in the console (when it opens):

Sys.Process.deleteAllProcessInstances()

What this does

This command deletes all process instances in the current environment:

• Removes all running workflows,
• Removes all completed workflows, and
• Deletes associated task instances.

After running this command, you can start testing your workflow again from a clean state.

📌

Attention

This command permanently deletes all process instances in the current environment. Only use this in development or test environments.
