How to start a process

Post by mehdi » Tue Aug 26, 2014 12:08 pm

I have the following business rules,
1. Go to main page, and fetch 20 summary entries
2. Navigate each entry detailed page to extract the détails

Due to resource issue I try to use start process as explained in the tutorials

What i did is :
1. Go to start page
2. Repeat N times :
Extract table (20 summaries)
Start process (using URL contained in the entries)

3. A separate Action tree Called Main
4. Navigate to item
5. Extract table

I tried with many variant of the above, in noway it goes to step 3.

Please let me know what's wrong.

I tried to reproduce again the tutorial case, and I notice the difference whith what I've done previously: I've created the Main action tree by duplication, while in the tuto it's created as a blank one.
When I did the same, it worked fine. May be the duplication creates some internal ID which is different than "Main" ?

BTW, it solved my resource problem but partially, I've got many more records, but even then the root tree caused a resource lack.
