StartProcess without history persistence

[fernando-sc]

Hi,

I'd like to start a process by RuntimeService without save its history. I know about property "history" in SpringProcessConfiguration bean, but I want to avoid history persistence only for this process specificly. Could I configure this property programatically? Or even set this property as a parameter specificly for a workflow execution (when I call startProcessInstanceByKey - or similar) method?

I checked the source code, and while it seems to be possible in many parts of the code, it isn't exposed yet.
If you think it is an important feature (and I would agree, actually)… could you create a jira issue for this feature?

isn't there an 'audit' attribute in the bpmn specs that could be leveraged to define (overrule?) it in the processdefinition?

The funny thing is, I thought we already had it… but I couldn't find it anywhere in the code.

We're currently refactoring the history big time, so that is certainly something we could do in the near future.
