Thanks & Regards,

Hi @Devakumar_Jayaraman,

can you achieve it using parallel gateway? https://docs.camunda.org/manual/7.5/reference/bpmn20/gateways/parallel-gateway/

Cheers,

Hi Askar,

The use case is the main process has to call another process before completion. Once sub-process triggered, the main process has to proceed without waiting for sub-process and get completed.

Is there any config available with call Activity?? I am not sure that i can acheive this with parallel gateway.

Thanks & Regards,
Devakumar J

Hi Devakumar Jayaraman,
As @aakhmerov suggested
Parallel Gateway should do your requirement…
You should have a fork Parallel Gateway where there are
2 outgoing sequence flows. One would call the sub process through Call Activity & the other would continue the main process.
Note that all outgoing sequence flows are executed in parallel which is your requirement.

Hi @hassang, Looks like it is not working as expected. When one path reaching End Node, the whole process is getting completed and flushed to database. In other path, sub-process is not at all getting triggered. I have used Parallel Gateway, one flow connecting End Node and other flow connecting sub-process Node.
