Interface HistoryProcessInstance

public interface HistoryProcessInstance

one occurence of an execution of a process definition. Every ProcessInstance will have one HistoryProcessInstance associated. The difference is that the ProcessInstance will be deleted when it is ended. And the history information will remain in the DB. That keeps the runtime DB healthy and performant.

Field Summary

static java.lang.String	STATE_ACTIVE when the full process instance is still active
static java.lang.String	STATE_ENDED when the full process instance has come to an end

Method Summary

java.lang.Long	getDuration() duration of the process instance in milliseconds or null if the process instance has not yet ended
java.util.Date	getEndTime() when the process instance ended (only not null if the process instance already ended)
java.lang.String	getKey() unique user provided business key (could be null if no such key is provided in ExecutionService.startProcessInstanceById(String, java.util.Map, String))
java.lang.String	getProcessDefinitionId() reference to the process definition
java.lang.String	getProcessInstanceId() the process instance id (== the root execution id)
java.util.Date	getStartTime() when the process instance started
java.lang.String	getState() STATE_ACTIVE or STATE_ENDED (this more coarse grained state then Execution.getState())
