Error registering business process

[Michael Sharp]

Not the most helpful message following some changes I've made to a BPM?  The changes are quite extensive so to pick this apart is going to be quite time consuming.  Can someone help me with this asap please?

Turns out you can't have two process flows arriving at the same VIA node.  Wasn't picked up by the process validator though?

@Michael Sharp - you can ... this is the idea of the via node  ... why do you say you cannot? is there an issue with this?

[Michael Sharp]

Hi Victor,

Would it be helpful if I exported the process version for you?  Resolved as soon as I removed the VIA connection.

I disconnected the arrow between the END PARALLEL PROCESSING and VIA, then attached the END PARALLEL PROCESSING to the next END PARALLEL PROCESSING.

@Michael Sharp yeah, can't work out the issue from screenshot... can you PM me a copy of the workflow? I assume the issue was the workflow actually not spawning when rising a request, right?

[Michael Sharp]

@Victor that's correct.  Will send you the BPM now

[Victor]

@Michael Sharp right, now I understand what and the issue, actually could have worked it out from the screenshot above... You are correct that in this scenario the via node will create issues. This is due to how parallel processing works, each path in a parallel process needs to start from a "Start Parallel Process" node and needs to end in a "End Parallel Process" node. You cannot have two paths in a parallel sequence join in one path (using a via node or any other node) which will then connect to the end node. This is specific to the parallel process functionality rather than the via node.

Thanks @Victor - my main gripe was the validation passed and the error message on BPM invocation wasn't helpful :-)
