To Add A Parallel Node to Your Business Process
The Design View is updated to contain a representation of the Parallel node as shown in the following figure:
By default, Parallel nodes specify an AND join condition, represented by
on the Parallel branch lines. In this case, the activities on all branches must complete before the flow of execution proceeds to the node following the parallel node.
In the case of your RequestQuote business process, because you want both branches of the Parallel node to complete, do not change the default AND join condition.
If an OR join condition is specified, when the activities on one branch complete the execution of activities on all other branches terminates, and the flow of execution proceeds to the node following the Parallel node. (The OR join condition is represented as
in the Design View.)
In Design View, you can view and edit the join condition property in the Property Editor. Click
or
(at the top of the Parallel node) to display the properties of the Parallel node in the Property Editor. The Property Editor for your Parallel node should resemble that shown in the following figure:
