How to start SubProcess dynamically ?

[ckadam]

I have this requirement, where my process flow has a process-state to start the sub-processflow. However, I do not know the name of the sub-process at the deployment time. As a result, I could not add sub-process element name at the deployment time.

However, the name of the sub-process is known at the start of the parent process (I could potentially pass it as Process Flow Variable).

Is there any way, I could update the Parent ProcessInstance, before hitting the process-state node and update it with SubProcess Definitiation (based on Processflow var) ?

Any other ideas ?

Thanks in advance.

Figure out the solution ..

I could assign EL expression to sub-process name.

Yes it was. I am in a process of upgrading from 3.1.4 to 3.2.6. So checking out goodies in latest version.

Thanks for your response !
