Truly Parallel Processing

Metastorm BPM v9 Hints & Tips 2010

 

In this article wepayday loansdemonstrate how you can achieve truly parallel processing in Metastorm BPM for the first time, with Metastorm BPM version 9.

 

In previous versions of Metastorm BPM (and e-work before that), we had the misnamed ‘Sub-Procedure’ Stages. They should have been called ‘Sub-Map’ stages, really. Although sub-procedure stages allowed a form of primitive parallel process design, the construct was rather limited and very clumsy to implement effectively. You needed to understand the Metastorm BPM database structure to some extent, as well as use a fair amount of SQL. In addition, to manage them in a robust manner, you needed to know how to implement flags and flagged actions properly and efficiently.

In Metastorm BPM 9 the mechanism seems identical. However now that we have a somewhat different architecture, we can potentially adapt this to manage parallel processes properly and more easily.
