What happens when process instances are archived?

Archiving instances gives you the following advantages:

You can only archive instances that have the status Completed.

During archiving, the data of the corresponding instances is moved from the Process Governance database to an archive entry of ARIS document storage. Each tenant has its own archive. The information about simulation, recurrence, and substitution is not archived.

Warning

To avoid data inconsistencies and possible data loss, you must not perform any of the following activities in parallel, neither manually nor scheduled:

- Deleting any Process Governance process instance, process version, or process

- Archiving Process Governance process instances

- Backup/restore tenant (containing Process Governance or ARIS document storage data)
