job executors and exclusive jobs

I have a process that has parallel script tasks. Both are set to async=true. When I run with the default job executor, these don't run in parallel, but sequentially. This is because exclusive = true for all jobs by default. If I set exclusive = false on both script tasks, I see the parallel executio

Hi Louis,
What do you want to say by "original job executor" ?

A JUnit will be very useful.

By "original job executor" I mean the "default" job executor. By "async executor", I mean the executor that is enabled with the following setting: "asyncExecutorEnabled = true".

So, to clarify the question, should the async executor respect "exclusive = true" or does the value of exclusive only matter when using the default executor?

The async executor locks the process instance in case exclusive is set to true, so only one job at a time should be executed. What's the parallel behaviour you are seeing? Can you provide more details?

Best regards,

Thank you both. I have opened a Jira with an example of what I am seeing here: https://activiti.atlassian.net/browse/ACT-4035
