How to terminate called workflow(from serviceTask) when calling workinglow terminated?

[swamy2156]

Hi,

I am facing a tricky problem with my workflows. I developed a generic notification workflow to trigger notification mails if task is not owned by any one of userGroup since task get created, which I can be integrate in any of the workflow(A boundary timer on UserTask which connects to a serviceTask. In serviceTask by calling API runtimeService.startProcessInstanceByKey("notification-process", map) ).

Now thing is that, when calling process instance got terminated according to flow, this notification process instance still persists and trying to invoke notifications though task get closed.
Is there a way to delete notification process instance when calling process instance got terminated(or) task got completed?

(Attached workflow bpmn modal for reference)


Thanks,
Swamy.

what version of Activiti are you using. In recent versions, calling the runtimeService should be done in the same transaction.

Thanks for your reply Joram. I am using Activiti v5.17. The serviceTask(which calls runtimeService.startProcessInstanceByKey("notification-workflow")) is attached to timer boundary which means a new Transaction will opened while invoking a serviceTask. But when process instance get terminated by completing UserTask, runtimeService will be in different transaction(If I understand correctly). Please through some light on this.
