Hi Saviola,

ID generation is standard jBPM or Hibernate. If you take a look at the db 
tables you'll see that the sequence is used for everyting. Logs, variables, 
processDefinitions, processInstances, tokens, whatever. So its not really that 
hard to get to 5000000.

Sequence value use does not mean that all this data is persisted indefinately. 
All logs etc. are held for 7 days and then deleted. So its not really a 
question of db size. I think the tablespace is set to something like 600 mb - 1 
gb.

The system is 14 days short of production, so if I vanish from this screen in 
two weeks you know something went badly wrong and I'm in hiding.

And as a question of principle: numbers are not a scare resource. Last time I 
checked we have a unlimited supply. And you only get into trouble if you assume 
a system won't reach it's limits. The archiving / document management system 
I'm integrating here reuses queue IDs after entries are removed from the queue. 
It took me three days to figure that one out. I just didn't think anybody could 
be that stupid. (They are using alphanumeric ids with a huge range of values so 
there was absolutely no reason to do this.)

Ok this turned into a rant... but I think you get my point.

Greetings

Rainer
