Async user tasks and service tasks not working

srobinson — Thu, 17 Jan 2013 04:47:20 GMT

I have a workflow with asynchronous user tasks and service tasks. The workflow works great in the stand alone Activiti Explorer, but when it is deployed in Alfresco and I run it in Share, the tasks do not run asynchronously and therefore it errors out. Is there a setting that needs to be overwritt

Hello,

Activiti 5.7 does not have asychronous continuations, so that's why it is not working in Alfresco. Asynchronous continuations were added in Activiti 5.8 or 5.9 (I am not exactly sure), and will be available in Alfresco 4.2.
Take a look at the following devcon session: http://devcon.alfresco.com/berlin/sessions/awesome-fast-workflow (starting at 48:00).
