Hi Eran,

The historic data is persisted when the transaction is completed. That explains the described behaviour.

Are your script activities async? (I guess they are because they can be 'stuck'?)
In that case it's possible to query the job table (used by the job executor). The job is persisted before the activity is started.

It's also possible to implement a ExecutionListener ( http://www.activiti.org/userguide/#executionListeners )
This way you can hook in on several events with custom logic. F.e. the start and / or the end of and activity. In that custom logic you can start a separate transaction for logging the start time somewhere.
But it is important to be aware of the fact why you want to start a separate transaction. In case of a rollback (and retries) this may cause unexpected behaviour.

Regards,

Yvo

The job Table has no Data about the start time. Will try The execution Listener.
Thanks!
