Hello,
I'm using the START_TIME field as part of my filter for terminating process instances (in a delete utility). My question is does/can the START_TIME field ever get altered from the point the process instance is created?
Thanks. |

The way I understand it, the Start time will contain the time that the instance is started, it will remain unchanged once the instance is started, and IIRC it is null if the instance is in a READY state.

Well,
keep in mind the restart() API for top level processes and the restart() and forceRestart() APIs for subprocess activity instances.  |

Thanks jmac for explaining IIRC : )
Are you saying hos with those API methods utilized, the START_TIME value would get changed then?
thank you |

If you restart a completed/terminated process instance, the instance name would remain the same but the Start date would change.
I believe that this is achieved with the restart API that hos has mentioned.. |

| If you are looking at the 'Initial' Starttime that will not be affected by restart or forcerestart. You can also look at using createdtime. If all process initiations are through createandstart API then, the creation and start time should be the same. |
