How to disable history in spring activiti

yaswanthbsactiv

Hi Everyone,

I am using Activiti with spring boot, I am facing few performance issues while getting the data from the activiti tables this is due to the history tables I guess.

When I am querying for the data from the activiti tables, in the 1st scenario it took 0.239 seconds to get the result but in the 2nd scenario it took 1.884 seconds to fetch the data from the database.

Table Name	Total records available (1st scenario)	Total records available (2nd scenario)
act_ge_bytearray	2177	7162
act_hi_actinst	2452	16702
act_hi_identitylink	1254	8409
act_hi_procinst	407	3569
act_hi_taskinst	1254	8409
act_hi_varinst	407	3569

This is the main reason, I want to disable the history. 

Tech stack:

Spring Activiti - 5.22.0

Spring Boot version - 1.5.8.Release

MyBatis for ORM

Please let me know, Is there any configuration to disable the history and will be there any problems if we disable the history.

Regards

Yashu

I tried the below code, which I kept it in springboot configuration class. Still no luck.

@Bean
public ProcessEngineConfigurationImpl getProcessEngineConfiguration() {
SpringProcessEngineConfiguration processEngineConf = new SpringProcessEngineConfiguration();
processEngineConf.setHistory(HistoryLevel.NONE.getKey());
return processEngineConf;
}

I got solution for the problem which I am facing. Below is the code which is the solution which worked for me.

@Autowired
private SpringProcessEngineConfiguration config;

@GetMapping("/startProcess")
public String startProcess() {
config.setHistoryLevel(HistoryLevel.NONE);
System.out.println(config.getHistoryLevel());
RuntimeService runtimeService = config.getRuntimeService();
runtimeService.startProcessInstanceByKey("testing_DeletingHistory", "start");

Thanks everyone.
