Acitiviti Startup Error

[hemantsingh1309]

Whenever I am starting up acitiviti, I am getting the below error thus leading to hanging tomcat.

Hi,


Caused by: org.activiti.engine.ActivitiException: Invalid destination 'sid-F5FD3564-C8DA-4418-B32C-BCA054BE03B7' of sequence flow 'sid-05FE012E-173D-457C-BCC3-D8BF28B45859'

It seems the process definition has wrong reference on the sequence flow 'sid-05FE012E-173D-457C-BCC3-D8BF28B45859'.

Regards
Martin

@martin.grofcik But I get this error whenever I restart my tomcat. After 2-3 restarts all timer entity error gets cleared and it starts working fine.
For deleting existing model & deployment, I am using the following code.

<java>
    public String deleteModel(String modelName, String processName) {
        RepositoryService repositoryService = ProcessEngines.getDefaultProcessEngine().getRepositoryService();
        RuntimeService runtimeService = ProcessEngines.getDefaultProcessEngine().getRuntimeService();
        HistoryService historyService = ProcessEngines.getDefaultProcessEngine().getHistoryService();
        List<Model> models = repositoryService.createModelQuery().modelName(modelName).list();
        if (models != null && models.isEmpty()) {
            return "Model Not Found";
        }
        for (Model model : models) {
            List<ProcessDefinition> processDefinitions = repositoryService.createProcessDefinitionQuery().
                    processDefinitionKey(processName).list();
            for (ProcessDefinition processDefinition : processDefinitions) {
                try {
                    List<HistoricProcessInstance> historicProcessInstances = historyService.createHistoricProcessInstanceQuery().processDefinitionKey(processName).list();
                    for (HistoricProcessInstance historicProcessInstance : historicProcessInstances) {
                        runtimeService.deleteProcessInstance(historicProcessInstance.getId(), "Model Deleted");
                        historyService.deleteHistoricProcessInstance(historicProcessInstance.getId());
                    }
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    LOGGER.error("Error deleting model", e);
                }
                try {
                    repositoryService.deleteDeployment(processDefinition.getDeploymentId(), true);
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    LOGGER.error("Error deleting model", e);
                }
            }
            try {
                repositoryService.deleteModel(model.getId());
            } catch (Exception e) {
                LOGGER.error("Error deleting model", e);
            }
        }
        return "Deleted Successfully";
    }

</java>

Is there some issue in the above code which is leading to the current exceptions.

This is because after 3 retries, the timer will be put in the 'exception state' and it will not be triggered anymore.

Martin is correct, your process references are wrong. When booting up, the job executor tries 3 times to execute it, fails, and stops.
