But a call activity would make sense here. The problem you are having with that is that a sub process called by a call activity doesn't share the parent process instance variables. You have to pass the variables to the sub process explicitly.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Best regards,</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 12 Mar 2014 12:30:51 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/global-definition-for-servicetask-and-receivetask/m-p/175241#M128371 trademak 2014-03-12T12:30:51Z
