Yes, you can use an ExecutionQuery, which will return you executions with a certain activityId. </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>You can introspect the process definition structure (and thus determine if it's a receive task) using the ProcessDefinitionutil.getBpmnModel(processDefinitionId) method.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>2. Correct. 'signal' was a bad name, which has a specific meaning in BPMN 2.0, thus we renamed it to trigger to avoid confusion.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>3.Depends on where you call it, but yes, if the process has async pieces then that is probably needed. </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>We will add a feature soon that will solve that problem: it will be possible to send out an event that is only sent when the transaction has finished and the execution can be triggered.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 08 Dec 2015 20:07:25 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/activiti-6-dynamic-activityid-and-triggering-a-receive-task/m-p/218066#M171196 jbarrez 2015-12-08T20:07:25Z
