Rule Event and Activity Chaining

Certified Associate Developer

Hello,

Is the Rule Event node supposed to break activity chaining?

If yes then could someone point me how to achieve something similiar? I've got to wait for all incoming 0 to 4 flows to finish and then start the Statuses PM, all without breaking AC so i thought rule event was perfect for that but its breaking the AC. I know adding XORs and dummies in each route going into AND would solve this but im running low on nodes so maybe theres more efficient way. I'm on Appian 23.4

Thanks!

    Activity chaining used when there is a requirement of  successive form-completion by the same user. I don't see any Screens (User input tasks) in your Flow, Do you have any UIT's in Subprocess??. I don't recommend activity chaining if you don't have user screens (It leads to Performance issues).

    I've got to wait for all incoming 0 to 4 flows to finish and then start the Statuses PM,

    Activity chaining's gonna break when there is wait time of more than 5 seconds. You need to make sure that all paths are completing before 5 secs. I don't know  exactly but try using Complex gateway (Select wait for n of n Paths to arrive before processing).
