Newbie Question - Invoking one process from another process definition

[maku...@gmail.com]

Hi,

We have multiple processes defined using Ruote. It has become
important to modularize and reuse some of the process definitions.
Can you please guide us in organizing processes so that we can call a
process from another ?

-Thanks and Regards
Makarand

Hi Makarand,

the easiest way to call a process from another is to use the
subprocess expression :

http://openwferu.rubyforge.org/expressions.html#exp_subprocess

calling a subprocess via a URI :

subprocess :ref => "http://company.process.server/defs/defXYZ.xml"

or simply via its file path :

subprocess :ref => '/home/wfengine/processes/invoicing.rb'

Best regards,
