RuntimeService.startProcessInstanceByKey becomes non-blocking when running process with async service task

[Yana]

Hi Evgeny,

@Evgeny_Makarov

I noticed that is I’m not marking any async before\after checkboxes, method startProcessInstanceByKey completes when actual process definition is completed, however I would like my service tasks to run concurrently so I’m marking them as async

I think this might be interesting for you:

OptimisticLockingException even on tasks not modifying data

Hi - personally I prefer to interpret the BPMN parallel gateway as indicating that the order in which tasks are performed is irrelevant and that they can even be performed concurrently. I don’t really believe it is about parallel processing in the sense of parallel threads… Hence using a parallel path to improve processing time may be false economy. Consider the additional overheads required to manage the parallel processing; Assuming asynchronous continuations, two or more jobs need to be flu…

@Evgeny_Makarov

Now when running method startProcessInstanceByKey it finishes immediately and whole process is continues.
I want to be able to wait until whole process will finish and then continue with my code execution. How can I achieve that behavior?

I didn’t understand what is your goal.

Best regards,
Yana
