The last one should be the same as first query. Because I query processDefinitionKey in both but one of them gives exception the other null.

Did you try using the 'superProcessInstanceId' in your query?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 03 Jan 2013 09:38:16 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/finding-parent-execution-with-runtimeservice/m-p/122832#M86497 jbarrez 2013-01-03T09:38:16Z
