https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/general/11753/regarding-process-modelhi, I have a question, A process has one script task, a sub process in between the start node and end node. The looping is running from script task to sub process, vice-versa and the loop is performing infinte times and we came to know that becauseen-USTelligent Community 12https://community.appian.com/thread/51936?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 23 Jan 2018 23:30:51 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:3dd4dd1e-780a-4099-a474-71da3985265eericg329As the process constantly loops and never terminates it will consume more and more memory over time. Reviewing your use case against a short lived process design that can be archived, or deleted, and balanced across engines will better utilize and release system resources. <br /> <br /> As others have mentioned, if you can provide additional context on your use case we may be able to help you brainstorm a better design. Constantly looping through an open process 24x7 will always have issues given enough time.<br /> <br /> I would suggest reviewing the playbook article on Creating Memory Efficient Models to help provide direction on your design.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://community.appian.com/w/the-appian-playbook/220/creating-memory-efficient-models">community.appian.com/.../creating-memory-efficient-models</a><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.appian.com/thread/51933?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 23 Jan 2018 20:35:10 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:5196ae0b-6381-4c25-ae9d-2336b269a037aloks0189Hi <a href="/members/aswinis">Aswini </a> its obvious, when you loop the process for infinite time, will slow down your environment.<br /> <br /> <br /> The best way to perform loop (but not infinite) is, during non business hours, let&#39;s say 11 pm till 5 am (varies) so, during this time it should process batch of data, and remaining will be picked up during next batch processing. <br /> <br /> I don&#39;t think, in any way, you will need to perform infinite loop.<br /> <br /> It will be good, if you can elaborate about your use case scenario, to understand the best possible way for your case.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.appian.com/thread/51930?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 23 Jan 2018 19:37:40 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:a499a929-63ee-46f0-b9dd-f1f6af7d59e5josepI agree with Colton, Why are you implementing this kind of loop? can you tell us about your use case? <br /> <br /> Is not good idea having just 1 process running and never stopping because that way you cannot kill it just like that. <br /> Maybe you really need something scheduled every 1,2, 10 minutes? this you can achieve with a timer event, with time recurrence every X minutes, then you don&#39;t really need a loop. Every time it is executed it will create a new instance, that way you can even monitor easily each execution. <br /> <br /> But please tell us about your use case. maybe we can suggest another ways to achieve the same. <br /> <br /> Jose<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.appian.com/thread/51923?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 23 Jan 2018 15:49:56 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:02f2d6a3-9336-436b-8c1b-a1dc9291f95bColton BeckYou can cancel this process to improve site performance. What is the use case for creating a process that can loop indefinitely?<div style="clear:both;"></div>
