Hello,
I am new to activiti so please excuse me if what I am asking is to basic but I could find any proper answer for it in the forum. Thanks!
Scenario
I have to implement a workflow to review different files/attachments that a PM uploads to a repository.
This revision process for each of those files will consist in 5 different steps. (subprocess)
The file revisions are independent.
While there are still some files left to be reviewed, the PM can upload new files.
When a new file is uploaded, a new revision process for that file must be started … and joined to the N previously uploaded files with an on-going revision.
Once all the files are marked as review, the process is finished.
Pseudo-Schema:
Start revision (human activity) -> Review files (n independent sub-processes) -> Close revision (human activity/service call, whatever)
… but the number of files (n) might evolve during the review process (it is not known in advance).
What does activiti offer?
I have read this on the documentation about Multi-instances:
"The number of instances are calculated once, when entering the activity"
So if this is true, my hands are laced, aren't they?
Question
Is there are way to dynamically add a new "instance" to a currently "started" multi-instance activity?
If so, could you please explain me how?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Carlos
