Stringing Multiple Visual Processes together in one VP

Pete_22321

Hi, I have a project where I'm using Automator, there are 25 visual processes.  I'm trying to create a single Visual Process that will run all 25 sub processes in sequence.  Multiple sub processes utilize the same reference file as an input.  Each time I kick off the main VP that calls the sub processes the first one will work, but the second consistently fails with the error that the reference file it is trying to read is not available.  I'm assuming it thinks the previous process still has it open.  I've tried putting in delays with no luck.  Is there a way to tell the process to release/close all files used when it completes?

 

Thanks

Hi Peter!

Yes this is definitely possible. Others my have different approaches to it, but this would be my approach;

1. I would import the 25 processes as groups
2. I would then chain them together using a hub

Lol, that simple. You may have to redesign your steps to have them working as needed at the desktop, but it will work. Here's an example I did for a Debit Card Daily Settlement process for a Financial Institution customers using the COOP system.

If you've got 25 steps, depending on the objective, it's possible they could be streamlined into fewer steps within the Data Prep Studio.

 

Lastly, what is this for? Is this related to reports from the Fiserv Optis system? (CD-072, SD-091, SD-098 etc). We have a monthly user group for that system and we meet on this coming thursday, would you like to be invited to the user group?
