BMPN design approach - inter process synchronization ?

[marcinj]

Hi,

I am currently designing a fairly simple business process. The problem is, I am expecting a number of process instances aiminig to modify the same object.

Imagine there's an error entry in the database. So a number of customers start filing modification requests… Each request has to be verified by a human user (read: will take days 😉

Should I apply some kind of inter-process synchronization ? Mark the database entry as "under investigation, do not touch" ? Or is my thinking completely out the BPMN world ? 😉

Thanks,
Marcin Jaskolski

I think you will have to build something yourself, to check whether or not an entity shouldn't be touched by another process. We have nothing built into activiti, and I know of no pattern/construct that does this in BPMN 2.0.
