It will be persisted when the first wait state is reached. So it might be a good idea to add a service task or even a manual task with async is true and move the execution listener to that task. Then it's possible to do queries. What you could use is the ProcessInstanceQuery subProcessInstanceId method and set the process instance id of the sub process there. That should give back the parent process.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Best regards,</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 04 Mar 2015 15:12:15 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/access-parent-processinstance-in-execution-listener/m-p/210828#M163958 trademak 2015-03-04T15:12:15Z
