HI,

Is it possible to delete a deployed process using Operate? If no then what would be the other way CLI ?

Sadly it is not yet possible to delete deployed processes from zeebe, nor from operate. There’s an existing feature request to support undeploying processes.

Thanks. Just curious. Is it something difficult to implement or why this feature has been postponed for so long :slightly_smiling_face:

It was not yet prioritized and it is not an easy pick, since you need to sync the deletion with all partitions. It need to be decided what happens with instances which are still running or created during deletion.

We have some ideas but we have also other pressing features on the road map

Could you implement the deletion of processes without instances first ?
Operate can delete process instances, so it can help for the first time.

How? it’s big loophole/blunder in the platform, because day by day partitons will keep growing if we will not have this solution in place. It could be easy to delete the process using gRPC url by passing deployment key and checking zero running instances…

Can we have gRPC url for bulk deletion?

Thanks.

hmmm. Still not implemented.

Thanks. But not helpful. Just throwing the questions back to customer neck. Still, I am expecting the solution.
