Alternative to workflow wait for condition

KristinaB · ‎04-11-2016

Hi there,

We currently have a wait for all tasks to close condition in all of our workflows and are looking for some ideas on how to streamline/centralize this. We originally were using a SUB flow with would be added to each workflow to ensure that it would wait for all TASKs to close before moving on. We are encountering issues with our Geneva testing and have determined that it is due to the SUB flows. We have 100+ workflows to update. Has any one used a business rule or something to centralize this check in the workflow?

Thanks....

Any time you're going to deal with manual sc_tasks parallel to a workflow you've got to use Kalai's link (section 4.4) at the end.
Either that or be *VERY* good with business rules that rigidly control whether or not a given SC_Task updates or does not update a workflow for a parent RITM.

Robert and Kalai,

Thanks for the link to the documentation on the Conditional Activities. I really found the example at section 4.4 interesting and helpful.

While the join works when you have a static workflow which run the same steps every time, I like the flexibility in the solution you propose.

I've been in a couple of situations where we needed to insert tasks manually. I just didn't know how to handle that situation in the workflow.

But I do now! Thanks to both of you!

That's what we're using Robert. Just looking for other options. Thanks for your input
