Hi,

I am looking at the **act\_hi\_procinst** table.  
Am I right in the assumption that when we have **end\_time value** (process has ended) and **no value for end\_act\_id** (process did not end in activity), then the process was deleted?

Thanks,  
Snezhana

Hi Snezhana,

The simplest answer is `yes`.  
To obtain little bit context you can find a jUnit test testing runtimeService.deleteProcessInstance here

> <https://github.com/flowable/flowable-engine/blob/7489d2f52fe637822d9dabd45775452249603802/modules/flowable-engine/src/test/java/org/flowable/engine/test/api/runtime/RuntimeServiceTest.java#L425>

There is not an assertion that `endActivityId` is null but it is.

Regards  
Martin

Hi, Martin.

I might contribute the assertion in the test if this is the expected behavior. Thanks!

Kind regards,  
Snezhana
