How to display variable value from linked subprocess on process portal column?

  • 1.  How to display variable value from linked subprocess on process portal column?

    Posted Wed January 11, 2023 12:47 PM
    Hi All,

    There is a main process with a variable visible on Process Portal. This main process calls a linked subprocess passing the variable to it. The subprocess modifies the variable. The portal always displays the name of the main process, and the column of the variable is always empty (the default variable value is null), so I suppose it displays the variable from the main process. How can we achieve to display the variable value from the linked subprocess? Is it possible at all? Is it possible to modify a variable of the main process from its linked subprocess? If yes, how (the process ID the same for both...)? If not, how would you solve this problem keeping the main process - linked subprocess relation?

    Thx,

    I assume you mean a linked process (separate process) rather than a subprocess (contained in the same process). I think I recall that the parent process will not pick up changes from the child process unless something moves in the parent process. Maybe we "solved" this by putting an event subprocess in the parent process that was messaged by UCA for every significant step in the child process. I think there were no shared business objects at that time (and I have not really used those, so I can't tell if they are a better solution).
