setWorkFlow(false) in flow designer

Hi ,

I have a use case, where if an user with role x_mgr cancels one catalog task , all the task in the related ritm should be cancelled. requirement is to do it using flow designer. Lets say Its my flow_1. There is already a catalog item flow is designed to create task2 upon closure of task1. task3 upon closure of task4 and so on. Lets say flow_2.

So even though my flow_1 is all in place , Its not able to cancel all the tasks in the ritm. because of flow_2. So I end up still having open tasks. How do I stop running flow_2 from flow_1 ?

Please advise.

Best Regards,

Chinmayee Mishra

For this specific require.ment why not do all in 1 flow? instead of having multiple flows.

Hi Chinmayee Mishra,

setWorkflow(false) actually already prevents Flows from running. This funstion "setWorkflow(false)" is not intended only for Business Rules.

Hope this helps!

Jagmeet

I located the respective flow context and cancelled that flow context. It worked. 🙂
