For example in your case add a boolean variable to your process i.e. emailWorkDone, with initial value false. Then if the 2nd path is started and completed based on your business logic then you can make the variable true and by adding a gateway between each timer and sendemail you can decide whether to send another email, by checking the variable, or go to the human task or something else.... -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/632452#632452] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]

I know i might be asking too much but i would greatly appreciate if you could provide a rough/draft bpmn of what you describe. Also i wonder whether it is possible to design such bpmn on any of the designers.... anyhow it would be great if you could show such a bpmn. Thanks -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/632633#632633] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]

To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/632797#632797 -------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks guys, Maciej:  I tried using a sub-process for the email sections (email sections would always be comprised of emails & timers, but I wasn't able to get the event to interrupt the process flow in the sub-process.  (It'd keep sending emails & waiting).  I tried using some of the examples as a guide (BPMN2-EscalationBoundaryEvent.bpmn2 for example), but I wasn't able to get it working properly.  Chris:  Do you have any examples of this?  I'm still a little weak in my understanding of processInstance variables, I'm not sure what the right way to implement a solution like this might be.  My (somewhat crude) solution was to make an event based diverging gateway that links to a copy of each event for each timer (since the timer is waiting for the event to happen).  Then all events converge and move through that path of execution.  This way if the event happens then the process goes that way, if the timer expires before the event, then the original path is taken.  It feels rather in-elegant, but it does seem to work properly in my testing. User Task is the action to take if an event never happens, Script is the action to take if one of the events happens: http://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/2-632797-17203/p... http://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-632797-172... -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/632797#632797] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]

To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/633171#633171 -------------------------------------------------------------- Finally found some time to take a try with what I described, so the process would look something like this (it does not address all the requirements but just illustrates how it could be used): http://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/2-633171-17217/p... http://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-633171-172... Process was drawn in BPMN2 eclipse plugin so most of it was possible but few elements, like timer duration, need to be done directly on xml. I have managed to run the example and it was interupting the sub process when signalled so it seems like it could be rather nice alternative to more complex options given above. Unfortunately signal event is not implemented for boundary events, small modification to jBPM code is required. Please find attached complete bpmn definition for reference. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/633171#633171] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]

To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/633301#633301 -------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks guys for all the feedback, especially the excellent examples. I'm going to try out a blending of both approaches, similar to Chris' Oct 24th post. One last question for Maciej:  You mentioned signal event isn't implemented for boundary events, did you use the signalEventDefinition in your example just to illustrate how it would look once JBPM (assuming it will) implements a signal event for boundary events? Thanks again for all the info! -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/633301#633301] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
