Non-blocking start of a subprocess

Hi,

I'm designing a BPMN process where in the end I'd like to run another process, but do not wait for it and just finish the execution of the parent process. Is it possible to run another (sub)process from an Activiti process and finish my process without waiting for called process result?

Only solution which comes to my mind is to add a service task which runs the (sub)process from Java.

Thanks.

No that's not possible by default. One of the reasons is that the sub process is dependent on the parent process and the parent process should not finish before all sub processes are finished. But with using a service task you could "fake" the desired behavior yes.

Best regards,
