Then I kill the engine OS process that locked the job. I observe that the job is actually marked as unprocessed and unlocked only after 5 minutes (the default value of lockTimeInMillis as I see in other topics). Only then another engine could take take the job for processing.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>So my question is whether there is any other mechanism by which the available activiti engines could 'see' that the acquired and locked in the DB job is not anymore processed by a dead engine.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks!</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 16 Dec 2015 15:53:24 GMT nvulchev1 2015-12-16T15:53:24Z High Availability Behavior https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/high-availability-behavior/m-p/223030#M176160 Hi,I am testing activiti in high availability scenario (two activiti web apps with activiti engines and only one DB).During the tests I observe that if one of the engines takes a task for execution the task (job) is locked in the DB.
