kill a AEM workflow using /var path

There is a need to kill a workflow.

There are 1000's of dam update workflow in the instances tab and hence cannot locate this custom workflow from workflow instance tab and terminate it.

I ran a query as below to locate the workflow /var path. This is actually in production , we need to do this.

 

path=/var/workflow/instances
type=cq:Workflow
1_property=status
1_property.value=RUNNING
2_property=modelId
2_property.value=/var/workflow/models/dam/test-staging-assets
p.limit=-1

 

So, can someone help me how I can terminate this workflow using this /var path?

I tried using the workflow remover from ACS commons, but it is not working and still I can see this workflow is active.

Do we have any JMX console, where it is possible to give the /var path t terminate a workflow?

Yes, it is possible to terminate a workflow using JMX console. Follow the steps below:

  1. Open the JMX console by navigating to http://localhost:4502/system/console/jmx
  2. In the MBean search box, type "WorkflowService" and hit enter. This will display the WorkflowService MBean.
  3. Expand the WorkflowService MBean and navigate to the Operations tab.
  4. Locate the terminateWorkflowInstance operation and click on it.
  5. In the terminateWorkflowInstance operation parameters, enter the path of the workflow instance you want to terminate in the workflowInstancePath parameter. This path should start with /var/workflow/instances.
  6. Click on the Invoke button to terminate the workflow instance.
