c8volt ops purge process-instances-with-incidents
Purge process instances selected by incidents
Synopsis
Delete process-instance families selected through incidents.
Select incidents using filters or explicit –inc-key values. The workflow fixes the candidate process-instance set, validates the delete plan, and requires confirmation before deletion. Incident matching only selects candidates; process-instance family, force, and wait rules govern deletion.
–tenant limits incident discovery; an empty tenant or –all-tenants searches across accessible tenants. Explicit incident keys use backend authorization without tenant filtering. –batch-size controls each discovery request; –limit caps the selected scope.
Use –dry-run to inspect the plan without mutation, –auto-confirm or –automation for unattended deletion, and –report-file to save an audit report.

Options
-n, --batch-size int32 number of incidents to inspect per discovery page; does not cap total frozen scope (max limit 1000 enforced by server) (default 1000)
-b, --bpmn-process-id string BPMN process ID to filter incidents
--creation-time-after string only include incidents with creation time >= RFC3339 timestamp, c8volt timestamp, or YYYY-MM-DD
--creation-time-before string only include incidents with creation time <= RFC3339 timestamp, c8volt timestamp, or YYYY-MM-DD
--creation-time-newer-days int only include incidents with creation time N days old or newer (0 means today) (default -1)
--creation-time-older-days int only include incidents with creation time N days old or older (default -1)
--dry-run discover and validate incident-based process-instance cleanup without submitting deletion requests
--element-id string BPMN element ID to filter incidents
--element-instance-key string element instance key to filter incidents
--error-message string case-insensitive incident error message substring filter for discovery
--error-type string case-insensitive incident error type filter for discovery
--fail-fast stop scheduling validation or deletion work after the first error
--force allow cancellation when deletion encounters nonterminal process instances
-h, --help help for process-instances-with-incidents
--inc-key strings incident key(s) to select for candidate discovery
-l, --limit int32 maximum number of matching incidents to freeze before candidate process-instance dedupe; omit to discover all matches
--no-wait return after deletion requests are accepted without deletion confirmation
--no-worker-limit use all queued jobs as workers when --workers is unset
--pd-key string process definition key to filter incidents
--pi-key string process instance key to filter incidents
--report-file string write an audit report to the given path
--report-format string audit report format: markdown, json (default inferred from report-file extension)
--root-key string root process instance key to filter incidents
-s, --state string incident state scope for discovery: active, pending, resolved, migrated, unknown, all (default "active")
-w, --workers int maximum concurrent workers when validating the delete plan and deleting roots (default: min(targets, 2*GOMAXPROCS, 32))
Options inherited from parent commands
--all-tenants clear configured tenant filtering and search all tenants visible to the authenticated user; mutually exclusive with --tenant
-y, --auto-confirm auto-confirm prompts for non-interactive use
--automation enable non-interactive mode for commands that explicitly support it
--config string path to config file
--debug enable debug logging
-j, --json output as JSON (where applicable)
--keys-only output keys only (where applicable)
--log-level string log level (debug, info, warn, error) (default "info")
--no-indicator disable transient terminal activity indicators
--profile string config active profile name to use (e.g. dev, prod)
-q, --quiet suppress output except errors
--tenant string tenant ID for discovery/search, selection, create, deploy, and run flows; explicit empty values can clear configured discovery filters, and explicit keys/IDs remain backend-authorized
--timeout duration HTTP request timeout (default 30s)
-v, --verbose show additional output
