Question

why does a parallel gateway bypass a sub process?

I have a parallel gateway that splits off into a task and a sub process. It processes the task correctly, however, it by passes the sub process and continues on to the next task in the process.

Is there a specific gateway I need to be using for sub processes?

We have a the same setup, but ours processes correctly. Can you post a screenshot of an instance details and the BP so we can see what is happening?

Here you go. You can see I do not have any conditions set. The form works if I have the process run through the task then to the sub process.

Can you attach a screenshot of what is inside the Purchasing sub process? It says that it terminated, so something inside of it is not working.

The sub-process works without the gateway. There are no issues with the sub-process. It processes through without terminating.

According to your screenshot, the Purchasing sub process is terminating, so it must be something inside the sub process. It is never reaching the end of your BP.

Hello Mason,

It appears from your attached screenshots that you split your process off into two paths using a parallel gateway. However, one of your paths does not have an End Event. Each process flow must end with an End Event, which is one of the red circles. Without this, your process will terminate without completing properly. I recommend adding one of these after the System Task named Test.

I would like to clarify that the End Event task does not end the entire process: it simply ends the path it is attached to.

Thanks,
