Calling another or 2nd process

[Former Community Member]

Hello,

Can any one please advise on how to call 2nd/another (short-lived) process from the main process. I though about combining two processes into one process by copy the second to the 1st/main one but it seem to be more complicated and hard to maintain in future since the 1st/main one is already complicated.

So it would be better to call 2nd one but having an issue on how to start. Can you please advise.

Thanks in advance,

In main process you would have to

1. drag a abstract activity (process design mode in workbench).
2. Define that abstract activity.
   
3. Search for your 2nd process and select it.
4. Your 2nd Process is ready to be used in Main process.

You can make input/output variables for 2nd process so that you can pass/retrieve values from it in the 1st Main process.

Note: Make sure that application, to which the 2nd process belongs, should be deployed.

Hope it helps.

Thanks,
