Running parallel 2 or more subflows

Posted on by vladef

I have this flow.  Processes "b", "c" and "d" waiting for the process "a" to end, I use "Wait for process". 

I need that process "e" will star after the process "c" end, process "f" will star after the process "d" end.

How can I do it? If I use "Wait for process", "e" and "f" will wait together.

    I posted the following on your other post.  You can use the same logic among all dependencies.  Just set each one to it's own environment variable and make sure all conditions are TRUE before running the next process:

     

    To see if a process is done running, I would use environment variables:

     

    For the prerequisite PAD:

    • Set Environment Variable %PrerequisiteProcess% to 'Running'
    • Run Process #Have an OnError Block over the entire process pointed to an Error flow that results in "Set Environment Variable %PrerequisiteProcess% to 'Error'
    • Set Environment Variable %PrerequisiteProcess% to 'Completed'

     

    On dependent process:

    • Label:  Check_Process_Status
    • %Get Environment Variable %PrerequistieProcess%
    • Switch %Prerequisite Process%
      • Case 'Never_Ran'
        • Run Flow_PrequisiteProcess
        • Wait 60
        • Go to Label Check_Process_Status
      • Case 'Running'
        • Wait 60 (or however long you want to wait before attempting to see the status again)
        • Go To Label: Check_Process_Status
      • Case 'Completed'
        • #Continue

     

    Best of Luck!

    @MichaelAnnis Could you add screenshots to your answer? It is not quite possible to do what you described. Thanks for the idea!
