Hello,

I get the following exception each time I deploy a process.

Is there a solution for avoiding this exception?

12:50:49,002 SEV  | Uknown exception

Thank you for your help.

Hi, I am not sure what it does exactly at that point in the code, but I am sure it is a Bug
<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; processDefinition.setGraphicalNotationDefined(true);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if (processDefinition != null) {<br>
the setGraphicalNotationDefined has to be movd in the "if" part.

The error you should be getting would be along the line:

Invalid reference in 'bpmnElement' attribute, process " + processId + " not found"
