Workflow stuck in a loop

asked on August 13, 2015

What is the fastest way to kill a workflow that is stuck in a loop? I had a workflow go into a loop overnight, not sure how, but it has over 250k of running processes. I need to terminate them all, is there a way to do it faster than the search in desinger?

Disable the starting rule to prevent new ones from being created. Search for the instances, shift+click to select them all and choose Terminate.

There has to be a faster way to do then to use the search to find all waiting or running instances..

Terminating them through the Designer is the safest way.

I cant believe that no one here has given a better answer. There has to be a table or something in SQL that can be cleared via the management studio, as of right now my entire site is down.

I"m having the same problem here. 16000 instances and I have to terminate them manually? Even selecting "Delete All" has only completed 2% of them and its been hours. There has to be a better way. Any ideas?

One thing I've done in the past is to go to the workflow in designer and disable the individual components, save it, and then republish.  When you do, it will tell you there are running instances and ask you if you want to update them.  Choose yes, and the workflows will have nothing left to do and terminate for you.
