I have intermediate rule event path in my process that needs to be remained activated until the process reaches terminate end node, however the rule path gets executed only once .
I would like to know what the best approach to keep the rule active for the duration of my process....

In summary I want to know best to reactivate a rule which ran and reached an end node in its path. You can manually start rule node, but how I can automate that.

The rule event will be reactivated if a path of the process flow reaches the rule event again. After the rule event is executed, design a path to loop back to the rule event to restart it.

In my process rule event acts as start node too, so I can't loop back.

You can branch the flow after the rule event is executed by using the AND gateway. The first branch will loop back to the rule event, while the other branch follows the original path that you set before on the process model. Just make sure that you have a terminate event set instead of a normal end event to ensure that the instance is completed.

I have tried that scenario but I am getting error with message "two or more nodes are in loop and will not started".

Did you set a script task after you triggered that rule event to set the rule conditions to false so that it doesn't end in endless loop?

I can't run the process to begin with it even in my process I am resetting my pv. The rule event is a start node, so it looks you can not loop back to start node.

What I can suggest is to create a second rule event that has a simple condition like pv!repeat=true(). The second rule then is linked to an AND gateway that branches to two paths. (1) loop back to that second rule. (2) link to the next node after the first rule.
Set pv!repeat default as false initially and set it to true when you think it's ready to repeat the flow after the first rule event. Both rule events can start at the same time but only the first rule event trigger the flow which after that is no longer active and any repeated flows controlled now by the second rule event.
Hope this helps.

I did same steps but still it says - Two or more nodes are in a loop and will not be started.
In my process model,
There is no start node, only Rule Event is added. It is linked to AND gateway. This AND gateway then branches to two paths. 1) Back to Rule Event 2) Next Script task (there are more script tasks next to it. there is final End Event)
Where am i doing wrong?
