Configurable Retract Workflow Operation

ID: retract-configure

Description

The configurable retract operation retracts the published elements from a configured publication.

If the elements have been added to the Publication using "with-published-elements", as in the case with the external api, they haven't actually been published so it is unnecessary to have a retract-configuration. Adding a retraction won't cause any errors, it will just skip those elements.

Parameters

These are the keys that can be configured for the workflow operation in the workflow definition. The channel-id is mandatory.

Key	Description	Example	Default
channel-id	The id of the channel to retract from	internal
retract-streaming	Whether to retract streaming elements as well	true	false

Setting retract-streaming to true only makes sense if you've published streaming elements for this channel before.

Operation Example

<operation
    id="retract-configure"
