CLI Reference

c8volt update

Update existing resources

Synopsis

Update existing resources.

The process-instance command updates process-instance-scope variables on existing Camunda 8.8 and 8.9 process instances. The job command updates job retries and timeout by key, with dry-run planning, confirmation prompts, and submitted output. Camunda 8.7 configurations return an unsupported-version error before these mutations.
