Importing process instance from history

Hi,We are using Activiti 5.17.0 and have a requirement to bring in a finished process instance back into active state. The issue is sometimes user finish off the process and sometime later they realize they have made a mistake and want to put the process back in its last active state.Just wondering

Hi Prashant.

My proposal would be:

Fetch all variables, process instance Id from the history
Create new process instance in runtime tables (You have to create new API method for it, because it is not supported currently.). Start process instance is not good solution because of facts you already mentioned and there could be some automatic steps at the beginning of the process.
Put created process instance on the right activity in the process definition. (There is no API for it currently, but it is easy to implement. The issue could be to create several executions e.g. for parallel gateways.)
Create pull request to activiti core (Could be interesting feature) 🙂

Regards
Martin
