Why are my Activiti processes being deleted mid process?

Sounds strange. The reason 'ACTIVITY_DELETED' is usually set when you cancel a running process using the delete API. Can you check your process/environment and make sure that no-one else is using this API against your processes instances!

Thanks for responding, I thought the same but couldn't find any REST calls. We aren't using the Java API so unless Activiti is doing it itself i'm having difficulty tracking down the problem. I know the explorer UI doesn't use the REST interface unfortunately so there's a slim chance someone is clicking "delete" on the process but we've not found anyone with access who would do that and there are sometimes up to 3 processes deleted within the same second.
