Main process not getting ended after sub process ends

[maulee17]

Hi,

I have a process definition having 3 sub processes, in a main process. When the last sub process ends, it has a sequence flow to from that sub process to end event of main process, which should terminate the flow, which is not happening right now.
The sub process ends but main process is not getting terminated.


Thanks & Regards,
Maulee.

It should terminate the process then. Can you post your xml, or even better post a failing unit test?

I debugged and found that it reaches to end event of the main process,but not deleting that instance. (not deleting I means I can still  see that process instance in activiti explorer Process -> MyInstances ) .
In general scenarios, instance get deleted, after retries.

The Main process end event also has 2 other in coming sequence flows.

Please let me know if I am doing something wrong. Process def xml cant be shared due to organization policies.

Thanks & Regards,
Maulee.

Please let me know if I am doing something wrong.

That is an option, or you have the wrong expectations.

Process def xml cant be shared due to organization policies.

Then either create a minimal testcase that does not expose company secrets or you are out of luck with getting any help… Sorry… We are not clairvoyant or Harry Potter

Here is the process definition xml and png file.
