startProcessInstanceByKey
Starts a new process instance in the latest version of the process definition with the given key.- Parameters:
processDefinitionKey
- key of process definition, cannot be null.- Throws:
ProcessEngineException

-
startProcessInstanceByKey
Starts a new process instance in the latest version of the process definition with the given key.

getActivityInstance
Allows retrieving the activity instance tree for a given process instance. The activity instance tree is aligned with the concept of scope in the BPMN specification. Activities that are "on the same level of subprocess" (ie. part of the same scope, contained in the same subprocess) will have their activity instances at the same level in the tree.
Examples:
- Process with two parallel user tasks after parallel Gateway: in the activity instance tree you will see two activity instances below the root instance, one for each user task.
- Process with two parallel Multi Instance user tasks after parallel Gateway: in the activity instance tree, all instances of both user tasks will be listed below the root activity instance. Reason: all activity instances are at the same level of subprocess.
- Usertask inside embedded subprocess: the activity instance three will have 3 levels: the root instance representing the process instance itself, below it an activity instance representing the instance of the embedded subprocess, and below this one, the activity instance representing the usertask.
Identity & Uniqueness:
Each activity instance is assigned a unique Id. The id is persistent, if you invoke this method multiple times, the same activity instance ids will be returned for the same activity instances. (However, there might be different executions assigned, see below)
Relation to Executions
The
Execution
concept in the process engine is not completely aligned with the activity instance concept because the execution tree is in general not aligned with the activity / scope concept in BPMN. In general, there is a n-1 relationship between Executions and ActivityInstances, ie. at a given point in time, an activity instance can be linked to multiple executions. In addition, it is not guaranteed that the same execution that started a given activity instance will also end it. The process engine performs several internal optimizations concerning the compacting of the execution tree which might lead to executions being reordered and pruned. This can lead to situations where a given execution starts an activity instance but another execution ends it. Another special case is the process instance: if the process instance is executing a non-scope activity (for example a user task) below the process definition scope, it will be referenced by both the root activity instance and the user task activity instance.If you need to interpret the state of a process instance in terms of a BPMN process model, it is usually easier to use the activity instance tree as opposed to the execution tree.
- Parameters:
processInstanceId
- the id of the process instance for which the activity instance tree should be constructed.- Returns:
- the activity instance tree for a given process instance or null if no such process instance exists.

ProcessEngineException

createMigrationPlan
MigrationPlanBuilder createMigrationPlan(String sourceProcessDefinitionId, String targetProcessDefinitionId) Creates a migration plan to migrate process instance between different process definitions. Returns a fluent builder that can be used to specify migration instructions and build the plan.- Parameters:
sourceProcessDefinitionId
- the process definition that instances are migrated fromtargetProcessDefinitionId
- the process definition that instances are migrated to- Returns:
- a fluent builder
-
newMigration
Executes a migration plan for a given list of process instances. The migration can either be executed synchronously or asynchronously. A synchronously migration blocks the caller until the migration was completed. The migration can only be successfully completed if all process instances can be migrated. If the migration is executed asynchronously aBatch
is immediately returned. The migration is then executed as jobs from the process engine and the batch can be used to track the progress of the migration. The Batch splits the migration in smaller chunks which will be executed independently.- Parameters:
migrationPlan
- the migration plan to executed- Returns:
- a fluent builder
-
createModification
Creates a modification of multiple process instances in terms of activity cancellations and instantiations via a fluent builder. Returns a fluent builder that can be used to specify modification instructions and set process instances that should be modified. The modification can either be executed synchronously or asynchronously. A synchronously modification blocks the caller until the modification was completed. The modification can only be successfully completed if all process instances can be modified. If the modification is executed asynchronously aBatch
is immediately returned. The modification is then executed as jobs from the process engine and the batch can be used to track the progress of the modification. The Batch splits the modification in smaller chunks which will be executed independently.- Parameters:
processDefinitionId
- the process definition that instances are modified of- Returns:
- a fluent builder
-
restartProcessInstances
Restarts process instances that are completed or deleted with the initial or last set of variables.- Parameters:
processDefinitionId
- the id of the process definition, cannot be null.- Throws:
