Deployed Process Definition not visible

[baldy]

I have deployed a Process Definition. I have created instances of the same. I see the instances in Activity Explorer.

When I go to Activity Modeler, I see the sample Process Definitions which came with the install. However, I don't see MY Process Definition!

How is this possible? Clearly my Process Definition has been deployed inside of Activiti without which I couldn't have created instances of the same in the first place.

the modeler 'repository'  (on ythe filesystem) is not related/connected in any way to the deployed processes 'repository' (in the database). So the behaviour you see is to be expected

Okay I looked at your reply and re-read the documentation. There is a section that asks me to go into modeler war file and change a configuration parameter to set the directory in which to find MY process model definitions. I did so, to no avail. When I restarted the server I saw ".svn" folder. I simply changed the location to the parent directory of my bpmn20.xml file. I even tried giving it full path instead of relative path. Same difference.

Is there a trick to it?

When you deploy a process definition, you deploy to the Activiti database.
This is in no way connection with the repository of the Modeler.

even i am facing the same problem. I have configured activiti designer in eclipse and deploy using .bar file. The process was working fine. But after some time it is not visible. Also the the deployed bar file is not visible.

I have also created a user and assigned it to some groups and same has happened with the user.

After deploying again i needed to change the supporting java code in a jar and on restarting the web server the deployment bar and all the processes in the bar file are not available in activiti-explorer.



Please suggest this is urgent.

Are you aware that by default the Activiti Explorer is using an in-memory database? So when you restart the server all new deployments are gone.

so if i use any other database say mysql then this won't happen.

if you use a database like MySQL, PostgreSQL or any other supported database that definitely won't happen.
