Starting a Subprocess Synchronously

 

You can start a subprocess synchronously. A synchronous start means the child process must complete before the parent process continues.

To start a subprocess synchronously, complete the following steps:

1. Check out and open the process.
   
   
2. In the Toolbox pane, click BPM. A list of activities is displayed.
   
   
3. Double-click or drag the Start Subprocess activity into the process.
   
   
4. Link the activity appropriately to other activities.
   
   
5. Right-click the Start Subprocess activity. A shortcut menu is displayed.
   
   
6. Select View Properties. The Start Subprocess window is displayed.
   
   
7. Click the Subprocess tab. The Subprocess options are displayed.
   
   
8. In the Select the process to start field, click the SubPocess icon. A shortcut menu is displayed.
   
   
9. Select the appropriate process. The process name is displayed in the field.
   
   
10. Click OK. You configured the synchronous start of the sub-process activity in your process.
