Better documentation for historic quering

Camunda 7 Topics Discussion & Questions
1

Hi there,
I am using HistoryService to retrieve some metrics about the engine and noticed one thing: there are plenty of parameters which seems to be pretty similar in meaning but definitely different in code-behind. For example, what’s the difference between HistoricProcessInstanceQuery.completed() and HistoricProcessInstanceQuery.finished()?
Or another example: HistoricProcessInstanceQuery.active() vs HistoricProcessInstanceQuery.unfinished() ?

Documentation has of course some short explanations but gives not enough details. Is there any place one could get more internal details (rather than try and see) ?

Thank you in advance

Hi @vicmosin,

the concept is explained in the User Guide: History and Audit Event Log | docs.camunda.org

Hope this helps, Ingo
