Before that I installed and watched some examples of business processes, but then deleted them (and via workflow console). - most likely, I didn't do it correctly...

I can't understand why this error appear?..

no deployed process definition found with id 'publishWhitepaper:1:1115'

Maybe somewhere something is cached?

Answer 1

Axel Faust gave an exhaustive answer:

Is there enough functionality of the workflow admin console?

Now I understand the cause of the error: as Axel Faust said, "..the tables for historic information do require referential integrity in their relation to the process definition and are not automatically cascade-deleted when you undeploy a process."

Thanks to all for the assistance!
