Pass SuperProcessId of a manually started sub-process(using Java API)

Hello,

I have a two diagrams in my Activiti project.

The first of them has a ServiceTask which starts manually a sub-process instance, using the Activiti java API.

Here is snippet from the code:

runtimeService.startProcessInstanceById(processDefinitionId, context.getVariables()); - where the processDefinitionId is the id of the second diagram

This successfully starts a sub-process and everything works fine.

However, I want to pass the processId of the process which starts the new sub-process as a ParentId or as a SuperProcessId.

I used CallActivities in order to do that but now, I need to use the Java API as there are some issues with the parallel execution of the callActivities(sequential = false).

Could you tell me how can I do that and if it is possible at all?

Thanks,

Encho

Hi Encho!

Manual handling of super execution or parent execution references will not make the trick - you will end up with genuine subprocess/called activity if you manage to do it properly.

You can add super process id into variables map or set it as business for second process after creation.
