Startprocess(pName) - HumanTaskInstance - inconsistency in Ids

Q&A
1

Hi there,

Bonita Studio 6.3.3, Java 1.7.0.67, Windows 8.1

I am starting processes in the background with

for(3 iterations){ ProcessInstance processInstance = processAPI.startProcess(processId); }

which gives me (for example name:processInstanceId pairing) p2:11; p2:12; p2:13 using

processInstance.getName()+“:”+processInstance.getId()

but when I go and do a search and display of the pending tasks of the process I get a different set of IDs for the pending processes. for example:

instead of p2:11; p2:12; p2:13 I get p2:23; p2:24; p2:25

Code is below…

My question is how do I get the same information for the pending task through HumanTaskInstance as that returned to me from the StartProcess

Many thanks in advance,
regards

SearchOptionsBuilder searchOptionsBuilder = new SearchOptionsBuilder(0, 100); searchOptionsBuilder.filter(HumanTaskInstanceSearchDescriptor.NAME, processProcessId[0]); // searchOptionsBuilder.filter(HumanTaskInstanceSearchDescriptor.PROCESS_INSTANCE_ID, processProcessId[0]); SearchOptions searchOptions = searchOptionsBuilder.done(); 
	SearchResult<HumanTaskInstance> searchHumanTaskInstances = processAPI.searchHumanTaskInstances(searchOptions);
	for (HumanTaskInstance pendingTask : searchHumanTaskInstances.getResult()) {
		
		logger.severe(thisTrace+"processProcessId[0]: "+processProcessId[0]);
		logger.severe(thisTrace+"processProcessId[1]: "+processProcessId[1]);
		logger.severe(thisTrace+"pendingTask.getId(): "+pendingTask.getId());
		if (pendingTask.getId().equals(processProcessId[1])){
		
			logger.severe(thisTrace+"A4-pt: "+pendingTask.getName()+" "+pendingTask.getId()+" "+pendingTask.getParentProcessInstanceId());
			if (pendingTask.getId()>activityId){
				activityId = pendingTask.getId();
				logger.severe(thisTrace+"process.split(:): "+processProcessId[0]+" "+processProcessId[1]+" "+activityId);
			}
		}
	}
