Is there any connection or link between Id's of Parent and Child process in relation to DB?

[megha_jain2]

Hi,

Do we have any connection/ relation of Id’s related to DB between one parent process and child process (which we are calling using ‘Call Activity’) .

If, there is anything, how can we link or use them through Activiti API? Also, is it possible to utilize variables from parent process execution context in child process?

Any reply would be appreciated!

Thanks & Regards,

There are 2 possible connections - super execution (execution.getSuperExecution()) and parent execution (execution.getParent()).
Both are stored in ACT_RU_EXECUTION table in DB  (SUPER_EXEC_ and PARENT_ID_).
I think you need parent execution for call activity case.

You can read and set variables of parent process in java deleagates like this:

Object variable = execution.getParent().getVariable("variableName");
