I have written a servlet that cleans up ended processinstances from the jbpm database. In the servlet, I am passing a processId of an ended process to deleteProcessInstance. I want to clean out the jbpm tables of all information related to that ended processinstance, as we have another db holding historical data for our processes. I pass into deleteProcessInstance the id_ from the jbpm_processinstance table of the ended processinstance and receive the following - why?:
