How to connect tasks in two different Pools?

Former Member

Hi,

i have designed a process which contains two pools.

Now i want to connect a task from the first pool to a task in the second pool via message connector as defined by OMG.

Why is it not possible in the BPM-editor within NWDS?

Or is it?

TIA

Michael

Hi Michael,

in SAP NetWeaver BPM there can be only one active pool within a single workflow. Any other (inactive) pools can only be drawn in the Process Composer for documentation purposes and depict parts of the process that are handled by a remote party or system.

Handing over the control flow could be done by e.g. invoking a web service, which acts as a kind of remote execution stub in your system. So if you would want to call some service in the other pool after a human task ist performed you should depict this by adding an automated activity right after your human task and draw the message flow from that automated activity into a receiving event in the inactive pool. (Again, this is just for documentation! When the automated activity is reached at runtime the configured web service will be called and the flow will continue along the sequence flow in the active pool once the web service was executed.

Best regards,

Oliver
