Purging/Cancelling Workflows in AEM

Hi there all,

I'm using AEM and I'm having huge performance issues (which seem to be tied to the sheer number of workflows that are being run).

Is there a simple way to simply stop them from running or to just purge them? (The workflows being run seem to be completely superfluous)

I've had a google and I can't find what I'm after - so if anyone can point me in the right direction, that'd be really great.

Thanks for your time

    Hi 

    Adding on the top of what "Jochen" suggested:

    Link:- https://adobe-consulting-services.github.io/acs-aem-commons/features/workflow-remover.html

    //During content migration, bulk ingest, development, or just unanticipated situations, large volumes of Workflow instances can amass.

    AEM has OOTB support for Workflow clean-up via Granite Console and JMX however may not satisfy all use cases. ACS AEM Commons’ Workflow Remover helps bridge the gap and provide power-tooling to remove unwanted Workflow instances.

     

    Documentation for regular purging of werkflow:

    Link:- https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-2/administer/operations/workflows/administering.html#Regular%20Purging%20of%20Workflow%20Instances

     

    Helpx Kb article for Purging workflow:

    // Purge workflow and audit nodes

     

    I hope this would help you.

    Hi Oliver,

    I haven't used it myself yet, but ran into the Workflow Remover tool which is contained in the ACS AEM Commons package:

    https://adobe-consulting-services.github.io/acs-aem-commons/features/workflow-remover.html

    I have good experience with some other tools in that package, so it's definitely worth a look.

    Best,

    Jochen
