Complete (including subprocesses) process history

mlegnani — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 08:34:46 GMT

I'm trying to implement what I suppose to be a very simple and common functionality for my application: the complete (including subprocesses) process history of a process that is not completed.

Hi,

I understand the issue. What you could do is set the process instance id of the callActivity as a process variable. With the in and out parameters construction you can provide input and output parameters for a call activity like:

<callActivity id="test" calledElement="testProcess">
<extensionElements>
<activiti:in source="test" target="test2" />
<activitiut source="test2" target="test" />
</extensionElements>
</callActivity>

Then you can easily connect the two processes.

Best regards,

Hi guys,

I have modified activity engine, adding superProcessInstanceId to the HistoricProcessInstanceEntity .

So you can query historic process instances using syntax like:
historyService.createHistoricProcessInstanceQuery().superProcessInstanceId(ID).list();It seems working, you can find a svn diff file attached ( created using the 5.6 tag revision ) so the team can ( if it likes this feature ) insert it into next releases.

I have added a simple unit test, to test it. Tested only with H2 db, but probably it work also with others dbms …

Hoper this helps you.

Hi,

The change looks good and is certainly something we can add.
Although, we also need an upgrade script like the ones you can find in activiti-engine/src/main/resources/org/activiti/db/upgrade.
If you can add those also in a diff script then I can try to integrate it into trunk.

Thanks,

Here the svn diff file ( from 5.6 tag ) , with upgrade files added ( but, not tested ).
