Capture Process Start and End Dates

pseymour75

Hi All

Apologies for this simple question, but I'm just starting to look at Activiti.

I'm using the Eclipse plugin to create my business processes and what I need to do is capture the process start/finish date and store them as a process variables.

Can someone point me in the right direction of how to do this in Eclipse? (use a script task?)

Many thanks

Paul

Those are automatically saved in the history tables.

Hi jbarrez

Thank you for the reply.

How could I retrieve these dates and have then stored as a process variable? I want to use this variable values later in my process?

Thanks in advance

Paul

You got two options:
- Fetch them through the API in a service task or script tak and store them as variables
- Use a custom execution listener that actually just puts a new Date() in a variable at the beginning/end, thus not using the historic data generated by the engine.
