topic Issue in suspend or activate a process instance but the 'status' not refresh till 'restart' the J2EE Server in Alfresco Archive https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/issue-in-suspend-or-activate-a-process-instance-but-the-status/m-p/165491#M119167 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Recently I am developing a system for our Gov and I found a issue during "Suspend/Activate" a process instance.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Following steps can recreate this issue:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>1.

Suspend or activate a process instance in the "activiti-explore".</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>3. I found after I suspend or activate a process instance thru the activiti-explorer, I can still use the REST interface "</SPAN><A href="http://localhost:8080/activiti-rest/service/runtime/process-instances" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://localhost:8080/activiti-rest/service/runtime/process-instances</A><SPAN>" to start the process instance. Seems the "status" not refresh immediately…and I restart the JBOSS, then I tried to start the process instance like "myProcess" then I got the exception "myProcess:9:8451 is suspended, can not start".</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>My question is:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Why the activated or suspended status not refresh immediately? until I restart the JBOSS/TOMCAT, then the activated or suspended status will be effected? This is quite inconvenience, is there any way to activate or suspend the process instance immediately or I missed something else?</SPAN><BR /></BODY></HTML> Fri, 24 Jan 2014 02:32:00 GMT roundmonkey 2014-01-24T02:32:00Z Issue in suspend or activate a process instance but the 'status' not refresh till 'restart' the J2EE Server https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/issue-in-suspend-or-activate-a-process-instance-but-the-status/m-p/165491#M119167 Recently I am developing a system for our Gov and I found a issue during "Suspend/Activate" a process instance.Following steps can recreate this issue:1.

The issue here has to do with process-definition caching. Parsed process definitions are cached in-memory for performance reasons. An entity updated in another JVM/activiti-engine will nog update the cache on other engines, leaving behind the "unsuspended" definition to use, when it should be suspended.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 27 Jan 2014 08:25:01 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/issue-in-suspend-or-activate-a-process-instance-but-the-status/m-p/165492#M119168 frederikherema1 2014-01-27T08:25:01Z Re: Issue in suspend or activate a process instance but the 'status' not refresh till 'restart' the J2EE Server https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/issue-in-suspend-or-activate-a-process-instance-but-the-status/m-p/165493#M119169 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi Fred,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Yes, to suspend the definition in activiti-explorer, but the status was not changed in activiti-rest.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>So, this issue caused by the process definition status is maintained in memory right?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 28 Jan 2014 05:50:42 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/issue-in-suspend-or-activate-a-process-instance-but-the-status/m-p/165493#M119169 roundmonkey 2014-01-28T05:50:42Z Re: Issue in suspend or activate a process instance but the 'status' not refresh till 'restart' the J2EE Server https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/issue-in-suspend-or-activate-a-process-instance-but-the-status/m-p/165494#M119170 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Yes, correct. And also because you have two instances of the Activiti engine, with their own cache.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>A solution would be to package both apps in one webapp, with one Activiti engine.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Another, way more advanced one, would be to use a distributed cache: </SPAN><A href="http://www.jorambarrez.be/blog/2013/01/03/distributed-cache-activiti/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.jorambarrez.be/blog/2013/01/03/distributed-cache-activiti/</A></BODY></HTML> Tue, 28 Jan 2014 10:23:48 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/issue-in-suspend-or-activate-a-process-instance-but-the-status/m-p/165494#M119170 jbarrez 2014-01-28T10:23:48Z Re: Issue in suspend or activate a process instance but the 'status' not refresh till 'restart' the J2EE Server https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/issue-in-suspend-or-activate-a-process-instance-but-the-status/m-p/165495#M119171 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi jbarrez,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>According to your solution, merged two app into one, and the issue solved, thanks again.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 28 Jan 2014 15:47:08 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/issue-in-suspend-or-activate-a-process-instance-but-the-status/m-p/165495#M119171 roundmonkey 2014-01-28T15:47:08Z
