can you reuse one process in another? example I have an act publishing process, with forms and java codes, I would like to reuse this process as a subprocess in another without having to create the forms and java codes. Has as?
Hi,
The chance of re-use is quite high, however there are a few considerations. To re-use the process, at least two patterns come to mind. You could;
- Use a call activity to call the reusable process, and when complete, control will pass back to the parent process.
- Start the reusable process from the last task in your parent thus chaining the processes together
Pattern 1 is the more usual use-case. A few items to be aware of, if your reusable process has a start form, then your call will need to include process variables representing the form’s content.
So in a dev environment, give it a go, identify where you my need some IO mappings. You may be surprised how easy it is to get going.
regards
Rob
