Question

How to get ProcessInstanceId after Workflow KickOff. Am able to get the InvocationId.
This is the Snippet :
InvocationResponse response = myServiceClient.invoke(request);
invocationId = response.getInvocationId();
System.out.println("ClientParams="+response.getClientParameters());
System.out.println("OutputParams="+response.getOutputParameters());
System.out.println("invocationId="+invocationId);
JobManager jobManager = new JobManager(myFactory);
JobStatus jobStatus = null;
JobId myJobId = new JobId(invocationId);
jobStatus = jobManager.getStatus(myJobId);
System.out.println("Job Status: " + jobStatus.getStatusCode());
if (jobStatus.getStatusCode()==JobStatus.JOB_STATUS_COMPLETED)
System.out.println("INVOCATION COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY!");
InvocationResponse jobResponse = jobManager.getResponse(myJobId);
jobManager.terminateJob(myJobId);
jobResponse.getInvocationId();
Process id need to be fetched after Workflow Kickoff
Can anyone please help me..?

Answer 1

There are 5 process level variables that get populated when you invoke a process. They are
/process_data/create_time
/process_data/creator_id
/process_data/id
/process_data/status
/process_data/update_time
Within the xPath builder you can differentiate them from other process variable because they are italicized.
Now you can create your own process variable - let's say called pid - and have it contain the process id which is stored in /process_data/id.
The xPath would look something like
/process_data/@pid = /process_data/@id
If the pid variable is marked as an 'output' variable, then it will be returned as part of the InvocationResponse.
