Right, the instance management api is not much help in my case. I went at 
http://localhost:8080/ode/deployment/services and didn't find any service that 
could help me do what I need to do…
Oh, I use intalio-bpms-6.3.1 (and it is in default configuration so you might 
pretty much understand which services it runs) and I found interesting web app 
in its webapp folder. It is called bpms-console. It looks good however it still 
doesn't capable to create instance which is based on other existing instance of 
certain process.
Then I found bpms-console on github and it seems I need somehow implement my 
one thing which is going to integrate with ode process engine through 
integration layer… And here is a problem I cannot find any sufficient 
documentation how to do that (looks like I need to look through source code)… 
And I couldn't find any existing services which provide such functionality as I 
mentioned above.

So I decided to list here those deployment service I have:
1) 
Endpoint: http://localhost:8080/ode/processes/ProcessManagement
Operations: listProcesses, setRetired, listAllProcesses, setProcessProperty, 
activate, getExtensibilityElements, setProcessPropertyNode, 
getProcessInfoCustom, getProcessInfo, listProcessesCustom
        Again is used only for retrieving process info

2)
DeploymentService

Endpoint: http://localhost:8080/ode/processes/DeploymentService
Operations: listProcesses, deploy, getProcessPackage, undeploy, 
listDeployedPackages
      Nothing useful here for me as well

3) and bunch of services which are related to task management.

If you could give some tips how to do my own service that at some point is just 
an extension for process management api (I guess) I will really appreciate it


Best regards, Ivan.
