Abort an instance using ProcessService (Fuego.Papi.ProcessService)

Question

Hi Folks,
I want to abort a process instance using ProcessService (Fuego.Papi.ProcessService)
This is how i am trying to do the same:
+if (ivBPMObject1.bpmObject1Option != "TRUE") {+
ProcessService.connectTo(url : Fuego.Server.directoryURL, user : "pavan",
password : "");
+// ivInstance2Id is the InstanceId of the other split branch which is alive and which needs to be suspended+
lvInstance = ProcessService.getInstance(instance : ivInstance2Id.id);
+// abort+
lvInstance.abort();
ProcessService.disconnectFrom();
+}+
I get the following exception in the line lvInstance.abort() :.
The batch operation could not be executed for all selected instances.
Internal Exceptions:
+>> /MainProcess#Default-1.0/1/2:+
Instance '/MainProcess#Default-1.0/1/0' could not be locked because participant 'Server' is currently locking it
I am running this from the Embedded Workspace of Oracle BPM Studio and I dont see any participant 'Server' in the directory.
How can i suspend/abort this instance?
Is there a way that my user/participant 'pavan' can be given rights/privelege to take 'Server's instances?
I tried using 'Server' as user but i dont know the credentials for 'Server' - so that attempt too failed :(.
can anyone please help me out?

Thank you Ariel,
Yes, I have two 'approvals' happening in parallel - in two branches of a split. when one approval comes 'unapproved', there is no point continuing with the other - i have to abort it.
But if i set the setting to 'generate independent copies', how will i get the 'instanceId' of the second branch when only the first branch has reached the 'join'? (i had thus made the 'shared' to be true).
My requirement is that i have two branches in a split. these two split branches call two different approval subprocess which go into user interaction tasks. but when one one approval is rejected (and reaches the join), i want to abort the other instance (atleast of the called subprocess) so that the redundant approval user task of the second branch can be avoided.
I have been struggling with this for the past couple of days :(
I am trying to see if i can get the 'instances' of the subprocess in question and find the instance to be killed (aborted) by checking the parents (the parent should be my process). i am getting problems there too. am stranded...
