Starting a block of steps N times apart from the process def

[aperfectcircle]

I do have a case in jbpm which i need to execute a specific block in a process definition N times, I already did that separating this block in a sub process and starting this sub process N times and then i treat it as it was a fork and i end the sub process with a join node in order that all the started instances from this subprocess is ended together.

I was wondering if there is another way to the do this same scenario without using a subprocess because right now i'am facing another problems that i cannot resolve while i'm using this technique in a subprocess.

Thank you guys in advance

Hi Ahmad,

  Are you mean this?

No not like that, you can think about it as a fork with an unknown number of transitions, like you have a fork and this fork say contain 2 steps and i want an N number of parallel execution for this path inside this fork to be executed, so i want to contain these 2 steps in some sort of a container than i can execute the same path N times, and this N times should be executed in a parallel manner.

I used the sub process so i can control how many times i can start this sub process as if it was a separate process and start this execution path as many times as i like and then all these execution will be handled by a join after the process state node.

Hi Ahmad,

  As you said, there are two steps in the block, so I think the sub-process is a good idea, And you already use it.
