[rules-users] FW: Nested flow terminating parent flow prematurely

Thanks to Travis Scheponik for trying to help me resolve this. However, neither he nor I could figure it out. Babak solved it here at the boot camp - the subprocesses should have their end nodes with terminate set to TRUE not false, and the parent process should invoke the subprocess with WaitForCompletion set to true. This was the one combination we had not tried, and it worked. Thanks, Babak. Tom Murphy Business Process Consultant Wells Fargo HCFG - CORE Deal Decisioning Platform 800 S.

I'm struggling with a rule flow that contains another rule flow. Rule flow 1 - first step is to invoke a sub-process, call it rule flow 2. Rule flow 2 executes fine, with correct internal branching logic. Rule flow 2 proceeds to an End object with terminates set to false. After RF2 completes, I am expecting a return to the parent flow, RF1. However, entire flow terminates and subsequent RF Groups and or RF's in parent flow are never activated. Is this a bug or am I specifying something incorrectly? Using Version 5.0.0.CR1 Code for the two flows is below (excuse the ugly ID's and names - these are generated from our rule repository software): <!-- TOP / OUTERMOST FLOW: --> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <process xmlns="http://drools.org/drools-5.0/process" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xs:schemaLocation="http://drools.org/drools-5.0/process drools-processes-5.0.xsd<http://drools.org/drools-5.0/process%20drools... type="RuleFlow" name="RF6677: R3.09 GAIP" id="29405" package-name="com.wellsfargo.GeneratedRules" version="2" > <header> <imports> <import name="com.wellsfargo.service.provider.hcfg.entity.workingObjects.x2007.PolicySet" /> </imports> </header> <nodes> <start id="1" name="Start" x="105" y="108" width="48" height="48" /> <join id="3" name="EndJoin" x="500" y="500" type="3" /> <end id="4" name="End" x="600" y="600" terminate="false" /> <subProcess id="29403" name="R3.09 GAIP REP 3" x="400" y="400" processId="29403" > </subProcess> <ruleSet id="50000580" name="50000580" x="300" y="300" ruleFlowGroup="RF6677_50000580" /> <subProcess id="29364" name="R3.09 GAIP REP 1" x="200" y="200" processId="29364" > </subProcess> <split id="150000579" x="458" y="205" width="48" height="48" type="2" > <constraints> <constraint toNodeId="50000580" toType="DROOLS_DEFAULT" name="constraint" priority="1" type="rule" dialect="mvel" >PolicySet ( serviceFlowCode == "GAIP" )</constraint> <constraint toNodeId="3" toType="DROOLS_DEFAULT" name="constraint" priority="1" type="rule" dialect="mvel" >PolicySet ( serviceFlowCode == "Post Rules Processing" )</constraint> </constraints> </split> </nodes> <connections> <connection from="29403" to="3" /> <connection from="150000579" to="3" /> <connection from="3" to="4" /> <connection from="50000580" to="29403" /> <connection from="150000579" to="50000580" /> <connection from="1" to="29364" /> <connection from="29364" to="150000579" /> </connections> </process> <!-- FIRST INNER FLOW - subProcess id="29403" --> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <process xmlns="http://drools.org/drools-5.0/process" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xs:schemaLocation="http://drools.org/drools-5.0/process drools-processes-5.0.xsd<http://drools.org/drools-5.0/process%20drools... type="RuleFlow" name="RF6662: R3.09 GAIP REP 1" id="29364" package-name="com.wellsfargo.GeneratedRules" version="2" > <header> <imports> <import name="com.wellsfargo.service.provider.hcfg.entity.decision.x2007.RiskDecisionResultEnum" /> <import name="com.wellsfargo.service.provider.hcfg.document.loanFile.x2007.TransactionDecisionResults" /> </imports> </header> <nodes> <start id="1" name="Start" x="405" y="12" width="48" height="48" /> <join id="250000560" x="661" y="351" width="48" height="48" type="3" /> <ruleSet id="50000554" name="50000554" x="390" y="109" width="80" height="48" ruleFlowGroup="RF6662_50000554" /> <ruleSet id="50000555" name="50000555" x="388" y="231" width="80" height="48" ruleFlowGroup="RF6662_50000555" /> <end id="3" name="End" x="682" y="754" width="48" height="48" terminate="false" /> <ruleSet id="50000556" name="50000556" x="137" y="349" width="80" height="48" ruleFlowGroup="RF6662_50000556" /> <ruleSet id="50000557" name="50000557" x="137" y="510" width="80" height="48" ruleFlowGroup="RF6662_50000557" /> <ruleSet id="50000558" name="50000558" x="253" y="506" width="80" height="48" ruleFlowGroup="RF6662_50000558" /> <ruleSet id="50000584" name="50000584" x="552" y="501" width="80" height="48" ruleFlowGroup="RF6662_50000584" /> <ruleSet id="50000559" name="50000559" x="403" y="505" width="80" height="48" ruleFlowGroup="RF6662_50000559" /> <split id="150000555" x="404" y="351" width="48" height="48" type="2" > <constraints> <constraint toNodeId="250000560" toType="DROOLS_DEFAULT" name="constraint" priority="1" type="rule" dialect="mvel" >TransactionDecisionResults ( riskDecisionResult == RiskDecisionResultEnum.NO_DECISION )</constraint> <constraint toNodeId="50000556" toType="DROOLS_DEFAULT" name="constraint" priority="1" type="rule" dialect="mvel" >TransactionDecisionResults ( riskDecisionResult != RiskDecisionResultEnum.NO_DECISION )</constraint> </constraints> </split> <ruleSet id="50000560" name="50000560" x="650" y="595" width="80" height="48" ruleFlowGroup="RF6662_50000560" /> </nodes> <connections> <connection from="50000584" to="250000560" /> <connection from="150000555" to="250000560" /> <connection from="1" to="50000554" /> <connection from="50000554" to="50000555" /> <connection from="50000560" to="3" /> <connection from="150000555" to="50000556" /> <connection from="50000556" to="50000557" /> <connection from="50000557" to="50000558" /> <connection from="50000559" to="50000584" /> <connection from="50000558" to="50000559" /> <connection from="50000555" to="150000555" /> <connection from="250000560" to="50000560" /> </connections> </process> Tom Murphy Business Process Consultant Wells Fargo HCFG - CORE Deal Decisioning Platform 800 S.
