L3 - Default Steps to reproduce:
- Configure queryMaxResultsLimit in the process engine configuration
- Navigate to Batch operation page in Cockpit
- Scenarios:
- Try to perform Delete running process instances by filtering Unfinished Only and do not select a specific process instance but rather apply the batch for all listed instances
- Try to perform Set retries of Jobs belonging to the process instances by filtering Unfinished Only and do not select a specific process instance but rather apply the batch for all listed instances
(The important part is to not select instances. Apply the batch operation for all listed process instances.)
Observed:
Scenario 1:
Request: POST http://portainer.camunda.loc:30194/camunda/api/engine/engine/default/process-instance/delete-historic-query-based {"historicProcessInstanceQuery":{"unfinished":true},"skipCustomListeners":true} Response: 400 Bad request {"type":"BadUserRequestException","message":"An unbound number of results is forbidden!"}
Scenario 2:
Request: POST http://portainer.camunda.loc:30194/camunda/api/engine/engine/default/process-instance/job-retries-historic-query-based {"historicProcessInstanceQuery":{"unfinished":true},"retries":"2"} Response: 400 Bad request {"type":"BadUserRequestException","message":"An unbound number of results is forbidden!"}
Expected:
The operation completes successfully.
Hint:
In the Rest API a separate query is performed to fetch the ids fulfilling the historicProcessInstanceQuery. That query does not have a limit applied.
Scenario 1: https://github.com/camunda/camunda-bpm-platform/blob/6d61e9fb6ba961f4231f9aff84baa82d48f6922c/engine-rest/engine-rest/src/main/java/org/camunda/bpm/engine/rest/impl/ProcessInstanceRestServiceImpl.java#L170-L171
Scenario 2: https://github.com/camunda/camunda-bpm-platform/blob/6d61e9fb6ba961f4231f9aff84baa82d48f6922c/engine-rest/engine-rest/src/main/java/org/camunda/bpm/engine/rest/impl/ProcessInstanceRestServiceImpl.java#L228-L229
Workarounds:
- For those two batch operations select explicitly the process instances for which the batch operation should be performed. That why the historicProcessInstanceQuery is skipped in the request.
- When it's not possible to select all of the desired process instances in case they are too many, please use the Rest API endpoints to perform the batch operation.
