Deleting shared Process Definitions

Various conditions apply when deleting Process Definitions.

You can only delete a shared Process Definition if:

  • you have Workflow Management rights on the owning Publication of the Process Definition
  • the Process Definition is not referenced from a Structure Group, Schema, or Bundle Schema within the Publication or any of its Child Publications
  • the Process Definition is not referenced from the Publication itself or from any of its Child Publications
  • it has not been localized in a Child Publication
  • there are no running Processes based on the Process Definition in the Publication or in a child Publication

For example, in the following BluePrint:

  • You cannot delete the Process Definition in Publication A because it has been localized in a Child Publication.
  • You can only delete a local Process Definition created in Publication C if there are no running Processes based on that Process Definition in Publications C or D, and if it is not being referenced from any Structure Group or Schema in C or D, nor from C or D themselves.
