Clarity

We have a custom process that has multiple steps. One of the steps has an action to convert an application request object to an application object. Sometime this process is creating a duplicate application objects. This behavior is not happening all the time it's intermittent.

I'm including screen shots of the sequence of the steps. The steps can be summarized in the following:

1- When the request is approved. The process is triggered and the step (Convert to application) is called 

2- the "covert to application step" has an action that convert the "application request object" into an "application object" using a mapping code (view attached xml file)

Sometime it works and other time it creates duplicate application objects (2 objects for the same request). Any help?

Thanks,

You might have to identify what is unique about these instances in which the duplication happens. Is there a loop back in the process, that makes it go over the same step twice may be?

No loop back. the duplication is intermittent. If there is a loop back it will be happening every single time.  

Not necessary that if there is a loop back, it happens always. A condition somewhere in the flow can result in a different path being taken, and this step getting skipped altogether.

Never mind I figured it out. I guess it’s done through a job “execute a process”

hello can u explain how u figure iut same problem i m also facing.

ExecutorService taskExecutor = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();
taskExecutor.execute(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
batchProcessorService.process(batchIds, false);
}
});
taskExecutor.shutdown();

I don't clarify the root cause so far.

The process maybe invoked redundantly.

I always turn on "Do not start a new process if one is already running" option in Start Options of process.

Thank you.
