End process with active user tasks

Hi all!Thanks a lot for you work guys! We moved from jBPM 5.1 to Activiti 5.8 and it works like a magic!At the moment we spotted the problem. I'd like to implement following behavior:[attachment=0]test.png[/attachment]If user in User Task 2 rejects proposal than service task should be called and pr

Hi,

The problem is the second parallel gateway. This gateway waits until all incoming sequence flows are completed and that's where you're stuck.
A solution would be to point the service task outgoing sequence flow and the exclusive gateway outgoing sequence flow to a manual task and then point it to the parallel gateway. So like this:

User task 2 – Exclusive gateway —————- Manual task —– Parallel gateway
                              |                          |
                              ——–Service task ——

Best regards,

Thanks a lot.

Did I understand you right:

So we don't need second parallel gateway and have to change it to manual task?

The thing is if UserTask1 will be completed first than UserTask2 will became unavailable, but it's not what we expected.

We just wanted to end process based on output of UserTask2 independent from UserTask1. So if at the moment UserTask1 is not started, we wanted it to be deleted.

I don't mean to intrude, but even in the last example you need to complete BOTH user tasks for the process to end. There are two parallel executions and they both have to reach an end state.

An ErrorEndEvent would terminate all parallel executions though…

Right, if you want to process to complete even when user task 1 is not complete an error end event would be better suited.
