Move instance to another component with REST API

Hi there, here is an example of my scenario

Let’s assume that I have an instance at Call Activity. What I’m trying to move the instance to Complete skipping ST1, ST2 and ST3. I think I can achieve that with Migration Rest Calls. If so, how? If there is another option to do this, can you guys give me some tips?

Thanks in advance!

Edit1: I couldnt get success with Migration API. Here is error I got.

        ]
    }
}

Hi @keremcan,

It is not clear for me if you are talking for migration between two versions of a process or you have running instance which you want to modify?
If it’s the latter please check the following endpoint:
https://docs.camunda.org/manual/develop/reference/rest/modification/post-modification-sync/

Hey @Yana, I don’t want to migrate my instance. I want to skip some components instead of executing them. It’s like “Okey, I’m going to end this flow now.”

Hi @keremcan,

with the API Yana recommended you should be able to achieve that.

Best,
Tobias
