Reviving processes or task is not possible, the engine doesn't allow this. You can always "model" this into your process, NOT ending the process at all and having eg. a receive-task to trigger a "reopen" of the issue.

Hi Frederik,

I have a similar kind of issue. In our process we have two human tasks A and B...When Task A completes Task B will be created. If Task B is approved Flow ends, where as if Task B is rejected We will re-open the Task A.

In the case of re-opening the Task A , Engine by default creates a new task id in act_ru_task table , is there any possibility to re-open a previous completed Task A instance rather than creating a new task when the flow comes back to Task A again(Second time due to Rejection from Task B)
