Many Process Claim instances, can be associated with one Process Internal Corrective Action. It's a relation many-to-one. Even a new Process Claim instance, can be associated to one Process Internal Corrective Action already started. Then the BMPN model to use is not a Call Activity, to the new process. </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>What would be the best way to do this association? </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>I'm using a simple instance ID now, but, then I can't continue processing the Claim. Is there something similar to Call Activity, but, instead of it creates a new instance, it only refers an already created process instance?</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Multi-instance is not an option either, since I don't know how many Claim instances will be created at a time.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Thanks.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Alejandro.</SPAN><BR /></BODY></HTML> Fri, 19 Apr 2013 20:38:07 GMT abentan 2013-04-19T20:38:07Z Many to one process instance relationship https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/many-to-one-process-instance-relationship/m-p/129266#M90830 Hi, I'm a newcomer to Activiti and to BPMN 2.0.
