Thanks, I understand.
In fact, you're right, I've come across lots of other mistakes. I will look elsewhere...

Starting processes using messaging never was a best practice. And if you got this from Youtube, I recommend to look for another channel. There is a lot of scams around Appian certification out there.

as the "event suprocess" suggested solution comes from a Youtube certification question, I thought it was considered as a best practice
but I undersand your point Stefan 🙂

I would not go with any of these options, but send my business analyst back to the drawing board!

I've been doing Appian development for just over 13 years now, so that must've been an OLD version...? I've never heard the term used officially in that timespan, as far as I remember.

The example implementation you name seems reasonable. The best way to handle these complex use cases, frankly, usually involves some improvization and invention, and the only surefire solution to this is to have some practice using the various capabilities available.

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, is was took from a video about Appian certification. Maybe it was from an old Appian version ?

Anyway, to put in practice this case, I've used a "Send Message" and a Start Node triggered (using 2 process), and this works fine.
I suppose my example mimics roughly the "event subprocess" ...

(Sorry for the double post, I thought my initial question sent directly to the spam, was losen)

double post?

Anyway, "event subprocess" is not normally a term I'd use per se. It is of course possible to catch various events within a running process and have those launch a subprocess, but I'm not clear why something would be labelled as an "event subprocess", unless I've missed something. Neither is "adaptive process model" AFAIK. Is this from a certification exam or something? Or some sort of unofficial off-site learning guide, or...?
