I have a process that receives some data and stores it.I have a second process that will determine if there is enough data and will then perform a task.Currently I am using a "Call activity" to invoke the second process.However I would like to de-couple the two processes. That is I would like proces

What you could do is using a async call activity. Then the other process is started, but your first process will continue independently.

My requirement is for process A to run to completion.

If I mark the callable process as asynchronous then the current executing thread will complete and process B will start in a different thread.

However process A will be 'blocked' on the callable activity until process B runs to completion. Then process A will complete.

At least this is what I believe I observed in my test.

Can't you signal process A from process B? or do you want to "block" the calling-thread that starts process A until process B is complete? If this is the case, the only way is a call-activity I'm afraid. If not, signaling from process B will do the trick…
