Act_Hi_procinst start_user_id empty

[zhoubosz]

Hi,

I am trying to retrieve information from the history service.
This is how I instantiate a procsesInstance:

RuntimeService runtime = engine.getRuntimeService();
ProcessInstance instance = runtime.startProcessInstanceById(
               definitionId, parameters);

This is what I put into the bpmn20 file:

<startEvent id="startevent1" name="Start" activiti:initiator="initiator"></startEvent>


However, start_user_id is empty in my db:

Am I missing anything? Do I have to trigger anything in order to have the initiator written into the database?

Cheers,
Bo

Hi,

To be able to have an initiator you should call the IdentityService setAuthenticatedUserId method before starting a new process instance.
This will make use there's an process initiator.

Best regards,

Hi Tijs,

Is the  IdentityService setAuthenticatedUserId thread safe ?
If not, what would be your recommandation to start a process with identified user in a multithreaded environnement ?

Thanks a lot,

Fabrice
