Parallel processing is easy in K2 - you add multiple exit lines to an activity, then eventually combine the process instances at an activity with a preceding rule.
We have a case where the number of parallel paths is variable. At activity A, the user will specify (in a data field) the number of temporary manufacturing items created by a physical process. Following that, each temporary item needs to be processed in parallel. Activity C (combine) needs to wait for all items to finish processing; it will have a single exit line for the combined manufacturing item. (The items are liquid in this case.)
Can K2 handle this? If so, how?
Thanks!
