How to set up a Dynamic Parallel User Decision

[Patrik vanOdijk]

Hello,
 
What I did was to implement a 1:2 paralell flow with one leg waiting for an own
defined event and the other leg processing a sub-workflow. One sub-workflow
should be started for each of the approvers just as the single step task you
have tried. In the subworkflow you trigger the event that is waited for in the
paralell leg. That way all remaining sub-workflows will be logically deleted. If
everyone has approved all sub-workflows are finished and the waitstep is
logically deleted.
 
The problem with this solution is that you get in synchronisation problems with
between the two legs. You solve this by stopping the flow in the sub-workflow if
anyone rejects, avoiding that instance of the sub-workflow to finish and risking
the workflow to think that all approved. That way you will loose any attachments
created in the sub-workflow, but there is an OSSnote solving that. I don't
remember the number just now.
 
Good luck, Patrik

Subject:  How to set up a Dynamic Parallel User Decision
 
 
 
 
Hello everyone,
 
I'm attempting to setup a Dynamic Parallel USER DECISION, but have had no
success.  I HAVE been successful in configuring a Dynamic Parallel Work Item
within the same workflow.  Can it be done with a user decision only?
 
This is what I would like to do, I require a user decision of "Approve" or
"Reject" to be sent out to multiple "run-time" defined users.  If all agents
approve, workflow proceeds.  If ONE agent rejects, the workflow goes down a
different error processing path.
 
If there is anyone that has done this before specifically for a User
Decision, or can shed some light on this issue I would greatly appreciate
it!!!!
 
Thank you in advance.
