How to Start the Activiti process Asynchronously

[dattatrayhkulka]

Hi,

I have a requirement, wherein I want to my Activiti process to run in asynchronous  mode.

I tried to set the "async = true" for my first task. But it didn't work.

Is there any other way?

That should do the job.
How you check if it has started asynchronously?

We tried with that option "async = true"
But the activiti process was not triggered.

So we made one more change to configuration <property name="jobExecutorActivate" value="true" />

With this change, every 5 seconds the thread checks if a new process needs to be started.

Two questions -
1. Is this the right way to start the asynchronous process?
2. Can we override the default 5 second interval for the thread to check any new processes?

1. Yes, the alternative is of course starting it async yourself in your own threadpool
2. Yes, the jobexecutor settings can be changed
