Hi,

Within the class "org.activiti.engine.impl.persistence.entity.HistoricActivityInstanceManager.java" the method "deleteHistoricActivityInstance (String historicActivityInstanceId)" is available but can not run because the judgment finds no declared in xml configuration files for mapping database.

I solved the problem as follows:

Was included in the file "src/main/resources/org/activiti/db/mapping/entity/HistoricActivityInstance.xml" the following lines to achieve the desired performance.

     <Delete id="deleteHistoricActivityInstance">
         delete from ACT_HI_ACTINST where ID_ = # {id}
    </ delete>

As you write,I add in the HistoricActivityInstance.xml as follows: 
  <delete id="deleteHistoricActivityInstance">
      delete from ACT_HI_ACTINST where ID_ = #{id}
  </delete>
but it causes the following error:

org.apache.ibatis.exceptions.PersistenceException:

So,I don't understand,I have the delete sql in the HistoricActivityInstance.xml, why it can't be put in Mapped Statements when the process engine is initialized?

I'm working with version 5.9 of the code of Activiti, the error showed when I tried to delete a historical record by ID.
fix it by adding the lines
<delete id="deleteHistoricActivityInstance">
    delete from ACT_HI_ACTINST where ID_ = #{id}
</delete>

after

<delete id="deleteHistoricActivityInstancesByProcessInstanceId">
    delete from ACT_HI_ACTINST where PROC_INST_ID_ = #{processInstanceId}
</delete>

like I said.

After modifying the file HistoricActivityInstance.xml, I generate the distribution again, start the environment and it works.

But, if you´re modifying the  activiti-engine.jar, I recommended turning off the environment, modify the jar and start the environment

Hope this help
