Hi Team,

We are using Camunda 7.6.2.

Am getting org.camunda.bpm.engine.OptimisticLockingException.

FYI:
Dec 04, 2017 8:32:29 AM org.camunda.commons.logging.BaseLogger logWarn

Hi Sudhanshu,

You can read about optimistic locking and situations provoking OptimisticLockingException here: https://docs.camunda.org/manual/7.8/user-guide/process-engine/transactions-in-processes/#optimistic-locking

In order to understand why you see the exception in your particular case, you have to assess

  • the process model
  • the state of the process instance when the exception occurs
  • the parallel, overlapping transactions that could cause the conflict

If you need help with that, please post the above data here.

Cheers,
Thorben
