MNI vs Looping for start process smart service

Hello All, 

 

I am trying to find the pros and cons of using "MNI" or " Looping in process model" to start multiple Process instances using "Start process Smart Service". And which will be performant for starting 1000s of instances in few minutes delay.

 

Regards,

Thoufiq,

    Thoufiq can you explain your requirement, in which scenario are you coming across through this situation where you want to start 1000s of instances.

    Adding to above suggestions, try to keep a timer event on node in process model for let's say 10 minutes, in case if the node gets stuck while initiating 1000s of instances at a time, then the flow can be redirected to the next node instead of being stuck. Also as per my understanding, initiating 1000s of instances from SAIL on button click is not a good idea, because it will take lot of time to submit the form which won't be convenient for the end user as well.
  • HI Alok,

    It was rather a question to understand prodcut teams opinion around which one will be performant in terms of these sort of requirements. When i have to start 1000's of instances in a sort time gap, it sounds better to give atleast a few seconds gap between successive instances , but this sort of looping and MNI's both get highlighted in Health check reports as risk.
