Next time there is no custom users, custom groups, nor process definitions

[gutaiii]

Hi,

After creating 10 users and 5 user groups, i have developed process definition, and deployed it.
It works just fine, but when i shut down mashine there is a problem.
Next time there is no custom users, custom groups, nor process definitions.
Is there a bug in Activiti 5.12, or i am doing something wrong?

From the docs 'Out of the box, Explorer uses an in-memory database, but it is easy to switch to your own database'

in-memory database -> data is not saved.

Mr. Joram,

Thank you for effective guidance toward solution of problem.
I made these steps:
- Read "Managing the Activiti Engine" from excelent book, Chapter 15 "Activiti in Action",
- Installed h2,
- Run three scripts (activiti.h2.create.engine.sql, activiti.h2.create.history.sql, activiti.h2.create.identity.sql),
- Changed one row in C:\Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\activiti-explorer\WEB-INF\classes\db.properties (jdbc.url=jdbc:h2:~/activiti)
Now my developing environment works just fine.

Thanks again,
