Using an LIST dataslot to invoke multiple subprocesses : Reviewing the publisher : Defining the main process dataslots
 

Defining the main process dataslots

After importing all three applications in BPM Designer, open the Dataslots content pane tab of the Publisher application to review the user-defined dataslots. The Publisher application contains three LIST dataslots —"AuthorIDs", "AuthorNames", and "BookTitles"—which are provided as input dataslots to the subprocess instances.
Each value of the LIST dataslot is provided as input to the subprocess instance, in the order of their listing. For example, the "AuthorIDs" dataslot has values, "G G Marquez" and "A Roy." So, the first subprocess instance receives the value, "G G Marquez" while the second subprocess instance receives the value, "A Roy." The remaining three subprocess instances receive null values.
