Deleting Failed events in IBM BPM Advanced v8.5

                           Deleting Failed events in IBM BPM Advanced 

The Failed Event Manager can get filled up with thousands of failed events, especially in a development or test environment.  Using the admin console you can delete these events, however you are limited to delete a maximum of 500 per occurrence.  This limitation is to prevent the JVM from crashing by attempting to delete too many failed events at a time.  If you have thousands of events to delete- this can be difficult task to perform in the admin console.
wsadmin provides an API to determine the number of failed events and remove a configurable number of failed events in a single instance.  To automate the deletion of failed events I wrote a script which loops through the failed events and removes 100 events with each looping iteration.  This mitigates the risk of crashing the JVM and also allows you to run the script and multi-task while the script is running.  The script is pasted below for your use.

print "Failed event number before discarding: ", fecount

while (fecount > 0):
    if fecount < 100:

        fecount = fecount - 100
     
    # get 100 failed events
    msglist = AdminControl.invoke_jmx(obj,'getAllFailedEvents',[delnum],['int'])

    # discard 100 events in single batch run
    print "Discarding ", delnum, " failed events"
    AdminControl.invoke_jmx(obj,'discardFailedEvents', [msglist],['java.util.List'])

# count the overall number of failed events
fecount2 = AdminControl.invoke(objstr,"getFailedEventCount")
print "Failed event number after discarding: ", fecount2

Resubmit:-

# lookup the failed event manager

obj = AdminControl.makeObjectName(objstr)

# count the overall number of failed events
fecount = AdminControl.invoke(objstr,"getFailedEventCount")

while (fecount > 0):
    if fecount < 100:
        delnum = fecount
        fecount = 0

        delnum = 100
        fecount = fecount - 100
