Invoking actions between sub-procedure actions

I am using a rendevous stage to spawn 2 subprocedures.  There is one action in the one sub-procedure that I want to start an action in the other sub-procedure of the rendevous.  For example, if sub-procedure A cancels the folder, I want the folder to be canceled systematically in sub-procedure B moving the entire folder forward in the prescribed workflow. 

 

I can update a variables in sub-procedure B from A with success.  I have tried to use both a conditional or timed action in sub-procedure B.  For the timed action, tried to use %updated but my update sql form sub-procedure A to the database record directly is not triggering update to the %updated field.  Updating a varilable to start the conditional was unsuccessful as well.

 

Also, tried to update the efolder column eupdated with time of sub-procedure A action without luck.

 

Any ideas on how to invoke the action in B from A?

 

Thanks

    Is there a reason you cannot use a flagged action? That would do what you appear to want.

     

    Do not update eFolder or map table fields directly, BTW. That will give you untold pain.

    I also would start with the flagged action approach.  Sub A raises the flag that Sub B catches and processes (or vice verse if appropriate).

    I agree, flagged actions are the way to go and they give you great flexibility in the design of a set of collaborating processes.
