Initiate a batch operation
Learn how to initiate batch operations in Camunda 8 Operate.
Overview
In some cases, you’ll need to retry or cancel many process instances at once. Operate also supports this type of operation.
Imagine a case where many process instances have an incident caused by the same issue. At some point, the underlying problem will have been resolved (for example, maybe a microservice was down for an extended period of time, then was brought back up.)
Though the underlying problem was resolved, the affected process instances are stuck until they are “retried."
Initiate a batch operation
Let's create a selection in Operate. A selection is a set of process instances on which you can carry out a batch retry or batch cancellation.
To create a selection and apply an operation, take the following steps:
- On the Processes page, in the Process Instances table, check the box next to the process instances you'd like to include.
- In the table header, select the operation you want to apply.
