Hi,

Default activiti H2 configuration is memory. Activiti uses in memory database.
How to change DB configuration:

the problem I am facing is that I want to use a new DB table. And "databaseSchemaUpdate: true" mean If the schema doesn't exist, it is created. But i am getting exception. It only works with the existing one and not with new one.
Can tel me how to generate a new table  of H2 type within activiti-cfg.xml file ?

What kind of exception are you getting?
databaseSchemaUpdate should work fine with existing schema's as well.

Best regards,
