Thanks for your reply, trademak.

If I change my activiti-context file, I get an

org.activiti.engine.ActivitiException: Activiti database problem: historyLevel mismatch: configuration says 1 and database says 2

Thanks!

Hi,

You are right, to change the history level you have to change the values in both the database and the configuration file.
We've done this because updating the history level is not something you want to do overnight. But it's not very well documented right now.
The history levels you can choose from are :

public static final int HISTORYLEVEL_NONE = 0;
public static final int HISTORYLEVEL_ACTIVITY = 1;
public static final int HISTORYLEVEL_AUDIT = 2;
public static final int HISTORYLEVEL_FULL = 3;

Hope this helps you with your issue.

Best regards,
