Query Process Instances by Start User

[luismdelgado]

Hello,

Is there a way to retrieve the list of ProcessInstances started by a user? I don't see a way to specify the user in any of the Query objects.

Thanks,
Luis Delgado

Hi,

You can use the initiatorVariable to capture who has started a certain process:
<startEvent id="request" activiti:initiator="initiator" />
Afterwards, you can query for all process instance with variableValue equal to the person you are looking for:
runtimeService.createProcessInstanceQuery().variableValueEquals("initiator", "kermit);
