Error description
When using Process Inspector in the Process Admin console to terminate/delete instances, if using the "select all" option to select the queried results, inspector may incorrectly delete extra instances that are NOT select. If querying with a specific string filter option, the "select all" feature terminates/deletes does not factor in the filter options and may remove more instance than selected.

Problem summary
Process inspector by design will show the first 20 process instances only if more than 20 is found. You can select the check box at the top of the page to select all 20 instances at once. However there is an option to select all instance queried. The option following will be shown near the top of the page : ?Select all xx rows?. The problem can be seen when the confirmation screen is displayed, indicating how many instances were terminated or deleted. The number shown will be higher than what you have selected. For example, the option only shows ?Select all 100 rows?. These 100 process instances were the ones retrieved according to the filter options. When terminating or deleting, a confirmation message will appear with the following text: ?Terminated 200 of 200 processes? .
Problem conclusion
A fix is available for IBM BPM v8.0.1.2. Process inspector will now honor the filter options and terminate/delete only the ones selected.
