So the service task for which you defined the multi instance config are still executed in sequence.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>If you have user tasks or other wait state tasks, for example in a sub process with multi instance config, the sequential attribute does actually mean something.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Best regards,</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 23 Jun 2011 19:00:41 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/multi-instance-service-task-parallel-execution/m-p/52798#M31106 trademak 2011-06-23T19:00:41Z Re: Multi-Instance Service Task Parallel Execution https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/multi-instance-service-task-parallel-execution/m-p/52799#M31107 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Thank you very much.
