How to deploy Multi-tenant processes?

[razorblade]

Hi,

I have a number of tenants who share the same process definition, say "myProcessDefinition". However I get this error when i try to start a process by process key and Tenant ID.

I saw that multi-tenant process definitions are supported since version 5.19.00, according to the release notes. However the Jira Issue is still open:
https://activiti.atlassian.net/browse/ACT-4045

Is this possible in the latest version?

And if it is, can you provide an example? thank you

Process definitions cannot be shared amongst tenants, they need to be deployed for each tenant separately.

Thanks for the clarification Joram. It'd be cool if you could remove the Jira issue from the readme though. It's a bit misleading.

The jira is exactly for adding that functionality, so it shouldn't be closed.
My comment above was about the current state of things.
