Working with Petals SE Flowable, we could want to delete process instances from the Flowable database. So the Petals SE Flowable should be able:
- to identify process instances ended that can be deleted,
- and, to delete process instances.
As for each process instance, we have also MONIT traces. If we use the specific Petals handler, we could want to delete the directory structure associated to the MONIT traces linked to process instances deleted. We could easily delete directories and files using file-system operation, but it will be more elegant to be able to do this in a centric approach:
- MONIT traces of a process instance can be distributed on several Petals container,
- only one administration action should be needed to remove all MONIT traces,
- MONIT traces should be removed independently from their storage linked to the log handler used (files, database, ...)
