Active sub-process in a process model

Question

Hi, 
 
 Is there any variable or functionality of process models that will allow me to know if any of its sub-processes are active?

TIA!

Hi, 
 
One way to get to know if a process is having any child active or not is to monitor it in designer. 
 
Other way is a bit tricky way. 
Create a variable in process named isChildActive. 
In process model set it as false at the end of process. 
Based on your child being synchronous or asynchronous you need to manipulate the variable. 
 
Hope this helps!

Hi Apoorva, 
 
There are multiple ways but it depends on where you want to see. 
 
1-> if all sub process are synchronous and any sub process is active in that case you main process will also be active. 
2-> you can create a number of variable as many number of sub process have in your main process , set true all variable before starting of each sub process like variable sub1 for sub process 1 and so on , once you sub process complete then set false to these variables. 
3-> Create a table to track all this activity by storing variables values.

There is a process metric function "sub_process_ids()" which would give all the sub process ids for a process (This is available when you try to create a process report). You can then try to find out if these process ids are active or completed.

You can also use the getactivetaskidsforprocess() function to obtain the active processes of a parent. It's easy to use. 
 
 Or you can use getprocesstaskid():
