Clean out old cached workflow models

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

After successfully deploying a custom workflow (using the epes-bc2wf namespace), I deleted the workflow definition, context and model files from alfresco_4.2.a\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension. I have also cleaned out the corresponding GUI definition from alfresco_4.2.a\tomcat\webapps\share\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\web-extension\share-config-custom.xml.

However, when I start Alfresco, not even the standard workflows are available in the workflow selection list, and in the log I see the following error:

10:28:26,385 ERROR (org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.AbstractRuntime)

I have searched, and the "epes-bc2wf" namespace is not defined anywhere except in alfresco_4.2.a\alf_data\postgresql\base\18277\18278. Is this some sort of caching mechanism in Alfresco? If yes, how can I clean out the old definitions?

Solved – the undeploy process had not been finished cleanly. I managed to undeploy the processes via the admin console, and it is fine now.
