Cancel subflow leave main workflow open....

[Raskin Alon x8008]

I am not sure if this would work (you would have to try it). Why don't you
pass in the top level workitem from flow A into flow B?
 
Then you have a reference to flow A inside of flow B. If flow B ever
cancels, you can then cancel flow A (by calling method
WORKITEM.STATUS_CHANGE passing in 'CANCELLED' as the new status). Hint : Do
not call WORKITEM.DELETE as this will actually remove all the table entries
relating to that work item.
 
Let me know if this works.

                Subject:        Cancel subflow leave main workflow open....
 
                Hi,
                OK, 'scuse me asking more questions than posting useful
stuff -
                nevertheless, good bunch of folks on this list (& thanks to
all who have
                responded so far).
 
                I have another question: If I have a subworkflow, which gets
cancelled via
                flow control (04 - cancel workflow), the calling w/flow is
still active
                whereas the subflow has the status 'Logically deleted'.
                Adding something to the event  'Processing obsolete' in the
calling W/F has
                no effect either, nor can I find any way to add events or
terminating events
                etc....
                Is there another 'standard' way for handling this?
 
                In more detail:
                Flow A calls flow B which executes in a loop. User can opt
out at one point
                by cancelling the w/flow. This sets flow B to 'log.
deleted', and flow A to
                'in process' with no further steps.... ideally I'd want to
set flow A to
                'logically deleted' as well as it would be useful to
distinguish between
                them on a workflow statistic level.
                Adding a cancellation flag into the loop condition is a bit
messy for my
                liking as it's a relatively long subflow - I'd would have to
add conditions
                all over the show.
 
                TIA,
