Hi every body,

I'm studying K2.net and I want to develop my workflow. But I met a problem.

After finishing an activity of a process, I want to start some instances of another process (The number of instances is get from Database).

What can I do now? Thanks.

It seems that an IPC is what you're looking for. There is a template (wizard) that will help you to create an IPC event. IPC's can be used to start other processes from a process. You can transfer information between these processes if you wish - refer to the help file for more information.

You can create multiple instances of IPC "child" processes by creating a variable number of destinations on the activity that starts the IPC event. The destinations for the activity do not need to be real users either. So let's say you need to start 5 "child" IPC processes, you would create 5 destinations for the IPC activity which would in turn start 5 instances of the IPC "child" process. You can set the number of destination at runtime.

Hey, that's cool. Wish I had known that 9 months ago when I created my original process.
