Active process instance got archived

The file you're showing at the top shows 20150620 as the archived date. Remember that if a process is archived a file gets created with the archived timestamp and the process id.

If you later unarchive the file remains in the system.

If you re-archive once more there will be another file with the same process id but different date in the name. That file, based on the name is not of a process archived recently, it's from a process archived in June 20. So clearly this process was archived, unarchived and then re-activated.

Attached you'll see how this looks in terms of *.l files

That is what i was wondering. I have attached the screenshot of the process history.

I have never seen that before. I think there might be some confusion, probably after you unarchived the process became active because someone started a node.

Even you try to archive an active process manually with the script you'd get

ERROR: Engine 0, process XX: Could not be archived: Can archive only completed or cancelled process

and if you try to do it with the plug-in you get an error code -1 as the output.

Eduardo, Yes, the status of the process was Active.

You should have checked the status of the process more than the colors in the nodes. What was the status of the process? cancelled?

Non-completed processes are not archived.
