Hi,

In my C# application, I'm calling K2 to start a process instance and passing the sync parameter as 'true'. The reason is I'm starting multiple workflow process instances and one of them is the main process. I want to make sure the main process instance has completed before the remaining ones will be started.

My questions are

Is this a good design? I'm thinking of what if the main process instance takes far too long to complete, is there a timeout error thrown back by K2 and is there any way to configure the timeout period?

I read that the sync call will return only once process reaches a stable state (client event, process completes, or encounters exception in one of the activities). The flow does not involve any client event and hence what I can expect is either complete or exception in the flow. If there is an exception, I should check via the API, processinstance.status1 ? What will be the different return status code strings I can expect?

Thanks,

lyf
