Based on my experiences this means that activiti will not store any information about my process instance until the first service task is done. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I am trying to make it possible for my processes to be cancelled and i am using the deleteProcessInstance method of RuntimeService. This method requires the processInstanceId of the process instance i want to cancel, and this can be acquired the soonest by using an execution listener for start events, and that is before the first service task. But even if i have the processInstanceId the deleteProcessInstance cannot cancel the process before it is stored in the database. Is that correct? </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>So provided that my first service task cannot be made activiti:async, because seemingly this introduces a considerable latency in the execution time, my process cannot be interrupted before the first service task ends.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Am i correct about all this, or am i missing something? Is there another way to cancel a process or maybe shorten the latency of activiti:async (it can be minutes based on my experiences)?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks in advance for your support!</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Br,</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Andras</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 13 Jan 2015 12:00:51 GMT andrasnaszrai 2015-01-13T12:00:51Z deleteProcessInstance and sync serviceTask https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/deleteprocessinstance-and-sync-servicetask/m-p/181921#M135051 Hi,I am using activiti with bpmns containg only service tasks without the activiti:async="true" setting.

The best solution would be to use activity:async="true" and in 5.17.0 with the new async executor the overhead is minimal. So that would be the best way to deal with this requirement to my opinion.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Best regards,</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 16 Jan 2015 11:57:38 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/deleteprocessinstance-and-sync-servicetask/m-p/181922#M135052 trademak 2015-01-16T11:57:38Z
