Demonstration
We are going to see how Metastorm BPM version 9 can now properly implement parallel process constructs, easily and in a robust fashion, with no SQL, flags, or any kind of coding at all.
graphic
We start with a blank form from the main ‘parent’ process
graphic
We fill in the first three fields only as the rest are to be completed by the child processes
graphic
We end up with the two child folders on our to-do list as they are created by a ‘linked process’ stage
graphic
When we open the first child folder we see the three variables filled from the main process although we have used no SQL or code
graphic
We enter the second set of fields in the same form in the child folder
graphic
If we open the parent folder we can see that the data from the child folder’s action is shown there
graphic
When we then open the second child form we can see that the data from the first child’s action is shown as well as the original here as well
graphic
We then fill in the third set of fields using the same form but from the second child folder
graphic
We see in the to-do list that the parent folder has now moved to the next stage
graphic
And on opening it we can see the data entered by all three folders
