i deployed a proces definition to activiti engine , when i start process in explorer i can see the diagram in my instance tag, but when i start process through invoking java api , i can not find the process instance in explorer ( i can  fined my task in explorer ), the explorer app shows no error.   anyone know why?

private String filename = "E:/opensource/activiti-5.9/activiti-5.9/workspace/activiti-engine-examples/src/main/process/wsl/TestPro.bpmn";

   @Rule
   public ActivitiRule activitiRule = new ActivitiRule();

   @Test
   public void startProcess() throws Exception {
      RepositoryService repositoryService = activitiRule.getRepositoryService();
      repositoryService.createDeployment().addInputStream("process1.bpmn20.xml",
            new FileInputStream(filename)).deploy();
      RuntimeService runtimeService = activitiRule.getRuntimeService();
      Map<String, Object> variableMap = new HashMap<String, Object>();
      variableMap.put("name", "Activiti");
      ProcessInstance processInstance = runtimeService.startProcessInstanceByKey("process1", variableMap);
      assertNotNull(processInstance.getId());
      System.out.println("id " + processInstance.getId() + " "
            + processInstance.getProcessDefinitionId());
   }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

i may find the reason ,in table ACT_HI_PROCINST , there is start_user_id, when start process instance by invoking java api, this field  is not set.
am i right?
but which method can set this field?

Hi,

Right, the start user id is only set when you invoke the IdentityService setAuthenticatedUserId method before starting the process instance.

Best regards,
