BPSim: Assign Resource to SubProcess
« on: May 25, 2018, 07:20:20 pm »
Hello,

I'm trying a simple BPMN process:

StartEvent1->Task1->SubProcess1->EndEvent1
enlarged SubProcess1:
StartEvent2->Task2->Task3->Task4->EndEvent2

The whole Subprocess needs one Resource1. I assign Resource1 to the Subprocess1 but it gets ignored in the simulation (e.g. no token waits till resource is available).
I can't attach the resource to each element in the Subprocess1 (Task2->Task3->Task4) because the tasks are processed one after another and should keep one resource the whole time.

I need a solution to make it work to attach the resource to the subprocess or a solution for attaching a resource from task2 and keep it till the end of task4.

I would be very grateful for any feedback on this topic.

Thank you!

Hi,

I am facing this problem as well.

I would like to assign a resource to a sub-process consisting of 2 activities.
The resource should not be released unless it finishes the sub-process.

Anyone had any ideas on how to get this working or is there another method to assign resources?

Thank you.
