hi ,
i have two pools pool-A and pool-B .i send a task to message start event which resides pool-B. Now from pool-A i want to find whether pool-B is running or not (or executable state or not) so that i can add another condition if the pool-B doesnt exist i can broadcast a signal to somrother process (eg. Pool-C).
or if there anyother method available please share .thank you.

Best idea would be to use the a business key to start the process with and then use that same key to query for it’s current state.
You can read more about business key’s in T-Dog’s blog post.

let me put it in this way … im using send task(from poolA) to start another process’s(poolB) “message startevent” and i have 3rd process(PoolC) which will recieve signal if poolB doesn’t subscribe poolA’s request.here is my problem how can i find if poolB doesnt subscribe poolA sendtask … (what i am trying to achive is even if i remove a process from the workflow it should continue the flow without fail ) it is hard to understand my english …sorry if i wasting ur time by newbie questions…im just curious…Thanks a lot
