IntermediateCatchEvent :: not fired first time , but after re-running process it has been caught two times

[fahad1]

I am Experience a strange problem with IntermediateCatchEvent.

First run of process::  it is fired, but I am waiting so that it should be caught by task2. But it does not respond.

I again run the process to observe things

Second run of process: it is fired as in first run; and task2 get it twice ( runs twice) before termination.

Can anyone tel me what I am doing wrong.

thanks so simple, can you tel me why we need intermediate signals/msgs between pools??

Hi,

I did not notice pools in your process design.
I personally do not use signal/msgs to manage process flow between pools.

by your solution do you mean that if we have 5 persons involved each for different task then:
start>task1 by person A>task2 by personB>task3 by personC>task4 by personD>task5 by personE > end.
