Hi,I am new to BPMN modeling and Activiti. I started working on it. I learnt to create a process by a post call"runtime/process-instances" and passing the Process definition key to it.I am able to mark the Tasks using "runtime/tasks/" + taskId" post call.I am trying to implement an product ordering,

Imthiaz,

I'm not sure, based on your comments whether you're doing all of this in Java or Javascript - can you give a little more detail on where you're trying to do this? Is it in Java or Javascript, or potentially all over REST?

At a brief level:
If you're doing this in Java, there is something called a RuntimeService, that has several methods to start processes. Each of these methods has an overloaded version that allows for a parameter that contains the variable utilized within the process. This blog post has a couple utilization examples of the RuntimeService.

If you're doing this in Javascript over REST, since you have access to the 'TaskId', you should be able to perform a GET /tasks/{taskId} which will include the executionId if it has been set by that time.

If you're doing this in the Javascript (Angular) of Activiti, these values exist inside the $scope variable - particularly $scope.task will contain the data you're looking for, depending on your location inside the app.

Hope this is a start, but I can help more with a little bit more context,
-JEarles
