Can someone help with this problem? (No process instance was found as child of the activity with id)

Q&A
1

Im getting this exception every time, i have a process wich calls another process, and that process also calls one like this:

process1 (KonfigSzamlaGen )-> process2 (this should be konfigszamla, but it does not appear in the log) -> process3(Szamlazzhu-ra Kuldes)

Im using call activity to call the processes.

Although i have this error, everything seems fine, my main process does finish and even the sub processes do they job. 

Why am i getting this error?

before the error i have these lines:

Hi,

Thanks for noticing this. You are perfectly right: this error is misleading, as in fact, there is no issue at all.

Bonita makes its best to execute as much work in parallel as possible. As a result, there are cases where Bonita Runtime tries to see if some flownode has already been executed or not, leading to those too-verbous errors.

Versions 7.12+ of Bonita tend to reduce this kind of misleading stacktraces, as there is not problem at all.

The good news is: there is nothing to do for you. Everything is fine on Bonita :-)

Hope this helps

Emmanuel
