Delete process instances
You can delete process instances from your PPM database.
To do this, create a configuration file containing the information for the process instances to be deleted. You can then use the configuration file and the runppmdelete.bat command line program to perform the deletion.
For information on executing the runppmdelete.bat command line program, please refer to the PPM Customizing technical reference on your PPM installation package.
