Question regarding the Rest-API

I would like to call into Your attention a phenomenon that I could not only observe using activiti-5.15.1 but also after deploying the latest wars, those of activity activiti-5.16.3. Even in the latest version of activity, it seems to me that some parts of the Rest API are not yet implemented.

If I open the activity-explorer GUI, then – under administration - I see a model named ACT_RE_MODEL with the id 50. But  http://kermit:kermit@myhostort/repository/models

Results in:

…as if it was not there. http://kermit:kermit@myhostort/activiti-rest/service/runtime/tasks

…results in

{
    "data": [],
    "total": 0,
    "start": 0,
    "sort": "id",
    "order": "asc",
    "size": 0
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Even though I saw a number of tasks under administration -> ACT_HI_TASKINST .

The Explorer and REST app don't share the same database by default, because they are both using an in-memory H2 database. You need to change the db.properties to share the same database config.
