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.
|
|
|
|
We start with a blank form from the main ‘parent’ process
|
|
|
|
We fill in the first three fields only as the rest are to be
completed by the child processes
|
|
|
|
We end up with the two child folders on our to-do list as they are
created by a ‘linked process’ stage
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
We enter the second set of fields in the same form in the child
folder
|
|
|
|
If we open the parent folder we can see that the data from the
child folder’s action is shown there
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
We then fill in the third set of fields using the same form but
from the second child folder
|
|
|
|
We see in the to-do list that the parent folder has now moved to
the next stage
|
|
|
|
And on opening it we can see the data entered by all three folders
