Hi, I have a parent process with triggers "n" sub processes.

I created a parent process with 2 sub processes.

Inside the 1st sub process, I had setup a delay of 5 mins to start the process.

Inside the main process after the control comes to the parent process I configured a boolean variable to true.

Finally before starting the 2nd sub process I was checking the boolean variable to start the 2nd process.

However, when I run the parent process, both sub processes run and complete.

How is the rule getting set to true even after setting a delay of 5 mins in the first sub process.

Any inputs please.

I would just run the sub process output to an XOR which decides if any more sub processes should start, based on a variable which holds the count of processes completed vs the total count. Increment after each sub (or within) and loop until the total has been satisfied.

Hi Phani, if we have the child process initiation wait, then we can make the parent process call the child processes as synchronous so that it will make sure that it will wait for the child process to complete before triggering the second one.

Configure mni to wait until the previous instance completes. Explore the subprocess node properties other tab.

Assuming that the "n" subprocesses are the same, you can use Multiple Node Instances, run synchronously and one at a time, to accomplish what you're trying to do. See bridgestreet.appiancloud.com/.../Multiple_Node_Instances.html for more information on this.

Please review Chris and Narasimha's suggestions.
Additionally, are your processes running in series or in parallel? (i.e. are you using a gateway?)
To come back to the 5 minute rule, did you set the 5 minutes in the Scheduling tab of your subprocess, under "Scheduled Start"?

@phanibabuk,
1)Do you want to run a single sub process for n number of times
2)you need to run multiple sub processes?

If you want to perform option 1, then look at the screen shot. "Run instances one at a time" option will make sure that sub processes will be executed sequentially one after the other

If it is option 2, then probably configure all your sub processes one after the other
