Hello colleagues,
I have an external task inside a subprocess and a signal.
My external task is not executed by any worker now but Camunda ignores the signal and doesn’t interrupt the subprocess.
Could you help me? Any suggestions how to make a workaround for that?
Thanks
Can you explain how you’re triggering the signal?
I’m triggering it via REST API.
For example, when token of the same process is waiting in a timer and then signal comes, the process interrupts by signal as expected.
Super, that should work ok - can you show the details of the request you’re making and the response you’re getting?
‘result’ is a variable which mapped from output parameters of the service task
So, what can I do? Avoid using mappings?
You probably don’t need to use the mapping. the variables will be created automatically upon completing task.
I use mapping to make independent variable names of the process and variables returned by the External task.
The issue occurres when I disable my worker apps, so no any microservice gets my External task. Then I send a signal which I expect to finish the process but it causes an error in the mapping.
So, mappings are a useful feature to have a low coupling of variables but it sometimes causes such issues
I also found skipOutputMappingOnCanceledActivities engine configuration variable.
Can it help me in my case?
That would make sense.
It would also makes sense to create the variables earlier in the process as a place holder than it wouldn’t matter too much.
