SOAP API - queryProcessInstances

The table summarizes the SOAP API - queryProcessInstances.

Request Uses the queryProcessInstancesInput element (from the ProcessManagement schema)
Parameter notes
  • query: For information about valid SQL syntax, see Sorting and Filtering Lists of Process Templates and Instances .
  • attributeMap: If a user-defined attribute is used in the SELECT statement of a paginated query, that attribute and its type should be included in the attributeMap, otherwise a database query must be made to get the type of the user-defined attribute, making the request less efficient (see the example below).
  • pageSize: Page size to be used to return the list of process instances. One of the following values:
    • 0: Return the entire result set in a single, non-paged list. The result set when using this value is restricted to 500 entries.
    • -1: Return the result set in a paged list, using the default page size.
    • positive integer: return the result set in a paged list, with the specified number of items on each page.

      If you specify a paged result (pageSize = -1 or a number greater than 0), use the queryFirstPage , queryLastPage , queryNextPage , and queryPreviousPage operations to navigate the paged list, and queryDone to clear resources when you are finished with the paged list. (Note that the result limit for non-paginated queries (pageSize=0) is 500.)

  • statusMode: (Optional) Users will be able to use the parameter "statusMode" to filter process instances. If set, the query will show ACTIVE only, TERMINATED only, or ACTIVE_AND_ TERMINATED processes. If not set, it will only show ACTIVE processes.
Response Returns a queryProcessInstancesOutput element (from the ProcessManagement schema)
