Connection between two processes triggered by event signal

[Domagoj_Hamzic]

I created two processes. The second one (the bottom one in the picture) is started from the first process using a signal event.
My problem is, that I don’t know how to catch the connection between two process instances.

Scenario:
We started two instances of the first process (Word to Pdf Process). Using signal event we created two instances (automatically) of the second/bottom process (Save or Reset Process).
Now, we have two user tasks (Save or reset form) to complete from the second process.
The problem is, how can I know which user task is linked with the parent process instance (Word to Pdf Process)? To be more precise, I need to send back a signal from the “child” process to the “parent” process so the “parent” process can move on.

Thanks in advance, Domagoj.

Hello @Domagoj_Hamzic ,

the clue about the signal is that it should not know which process instance it belongs to.

A signal is a broadcast, meaning every catching signal event listening will be triggered.

What you try to achieve can be done best with a message.

The message correlation needs to be defined in your code. This correlation should be done using either a process variable or the business key of a process instance.

I hope this helps
