Purging process data using the web service API

1.	Include project files

•	Create a Microsoft .NET client assembly that consumes the ProcessManagerService WSDL. (See Creating a .NET client assembly that uses base 64 encoding.)

•	Reference the Microsoft .NET client assembly. (See Referencing the .NET client assembly.)

2.	Create a ProcessManager Client API object

•	Using the Microsoft .NET client assembly, create a ProcessManagerService object by invoking its default constructor.

•	Set the ProcessManagerService object’s Credentials data member with a System.Net.NetworkCredential value that specifies the user name and password value.

3.	Specify the filter that determines the data to purge

•	Create a ConditionFilter object by using its constructor.

•	Specify the process variable on which the condition is based by assigning a string value to the ConditionFilter object’s variable data member.

•	Specify the condition operator by assigning a ConditionEnum value to the ConditionFilter object’s condition data member. For example, specify ConditionEnum.GREATER_THAN to specify greater than.

•	Specify the value of the process variable by assigning a string value to the ConditionFilter object’s value data member.

4.	Perform the purge operation

Perform the purge operation by invoking the ProcessManagerService object’s purgeProcess method and passing the following values:

•	A string value that specifies the name of the process to purge.

•	A short value that specifies the major version of the process.

•	A Boolean value that specifies whether to use the previous value. Specify true.

•	A short value that specifies the minor version of the process.

•	A Boolean value that specifies whether to use the previous value. Specify true.

•	An integer value that specifies the status of the process. Valid values are 1 which specifies to purge completed processes only; 2 which specifies to purge terminated processes only; 3 which specifies to purge both completed and terminated processes.

•	A Boolean value that specifies whether to use the previous value. Specify true.

•

A long value that specifies the seconds defining the age of the process to purge. The process is purged if its completion time is less than or equal to the time calculated by subtracting the number of seconds specified by this value from the time when the purge started. For example, to purge processes completed a day ago, set this field to 86400 (number of seconds in a day).

•	A Boolean value that specifies whether to use the previous value. Specify true.

•	A ConditionFilter object that represents the filter that is used to purge the process.

•	A Boolean value that specifies whether to delete child processes. Specify false to only delete the parent process.

•	A Boolean value that specifies whether to use the previous value. Specify true.
