Counter for parallel process

[kareem.e...@hkmci.com]

Dear All,

I want to build a counter to track user decisions. A user should send an application to a list of people, then every one who received the list will decide wither he agree or not. then based on the number of people who agrees vs number of people who didn't an action will be taken.

My main problem is :
1- How can I track users decisions, and calculate number of approvals based on that considering the fact that user decisions is a sub-process created in a parallel way ?

ps: I have tried to increment a global variable "approvals" in the parent process, however. It kept it's original value without change, also I fear that there might be a data race issue if I followed this approach.

Kindly find the attached process design for you reference.

Hi Karrem,

Many things must be done on both main process and sub process in order to increment the global variable.

First of all, in your sub process you should send a status to the main process saying whether the answer is yes or no.

Then, you should increment your global variable in the output of the loop task in the main process. You can do it this way : 

<#if (status == "yes")>

<#assign approval = approval?number + 1>

</#if>

        ${approval}

In the loop task, the checkbox "Send Variables" must be unchecked. This way, approval won't be set to 0 for every instance of the sub process.

You should also set the variable approval to 0 in the beginning of the main process.

Please let me know whether this solution worked for you or not.

Best regards,
