processDefinitionId is an ID generated upon each deployment. You can get the processDefinitionId using process definition query.

Another option is to use "processDefinitionKey" instead of processDefinitionId which will start a process instance on the latest deployed version. You can get the processDefinitionKey from your process model. However you will have to use version 1.5.3.2 or above as there was a bug fixed in this version to allow processDefinitionKey use. Hope this helps

Thank you Ciju Joseph for the response, i will try to use processDefinitionId from the suggested API call for now. Once I upgrade to 1.5.3.2, I will use processDefinitionKey.
