topic Execution creation - why there is new execution created in Alfresco Archive https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/execution-creation-why-there-is-new-execution-created/m-p/219409#M172539 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>we are evaluating Activiti as engine for next project developed in our company. I'm new, so my question may be a little bit silly. I don't understand what are the rules of execution creation?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>On attached image I show part of my BPMN process. Execution ids are given for each serviceTask. First question: why modifyParty block is executed in separate execution? For me it causes variables scopes problem - result of this serviceTask must be saved in execution local scope. Because new execution is created - result is lost.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Secondly: after modifyParty block I start subProcess for processing each item in contracts collection (in multi instance way). Same question as earlier - why transferService block is executed in new execution instance and not within same as "Set contract to PROCESSING" and "Set contract to WAITING". Following message-catch event also created new execution.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Here's the image: </SPAN><A href="http://imgur.com/GE7TodX" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://imgur.com/GE7TodX</A></BODY></HTML> Wed, 09 Dec 2015 10:39:29 GMT tomekzaremba 2015-12-09T10:39:29Z Execution creation - why there is new execution created https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/execution-creation-why-there-is-new-execution-created/m-p/219409#M172539 Hi,we are evaluating Activiti as engine for next project developed in our company.

Why those two are related so close?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 09 Dec 2015 11:51:07 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/execution-creation-why-there-is-new-execution-created/m-p/219410#M172540 tomekzaremba 2015-12-09T11:51:07Z Re: Execution creation - why there is new execution created https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/execution-creation-why-there-is-new-execution-created/m-p/219411#M172541 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>That service task has a boundary event: the execution is created to denote the scope for the event.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>It doesn't make sens you have to use setVariableLocal, regular setVariable should work. Do you have a unit test demonstrating this wioth this process?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Same answer for your second question: that is to denote the scope of where something is applicable.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 10 Dec 2015 18:51:29 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/execution-creation-why-there-is-new-execution-created/m-p/219411#M172541 jbarrez 2015-12-10T18:51:29Z
