Lance, This is really unfortunate naming. The activate/deactivate on BpelServer is different from activate/retire on ProcessManagement. The former is a low-level message from the integration layer indicating that the server should "activate" (i.e. put into memory) the process definition. The latter is high-level message from the user about which process is to be responsible for creating new instances. -maciej
