Reusable process in Oracle BPM

In this post I just want to jot down my findings about the reusable processes in oracle BPM.

• Reusable Process starts with a None start event.
• And there won't be initiator after that.
• If any initiator node is added, or the start event is changed, this no longer becomes a reusable process.
• A Reusable Process can be called from a 'Call' Activity
• Most importantly the execution data will be carry forwarded from the calling process to the reusable process.
• Means the attachments, user comments that are added in the calling process will be available in the reusable process.

In the above sample processes, the first process will the second reusable process using the call activity.

Whatever the documents uploaded or comments entered in the first human task in the first process will be available for the first human task in the second process. So it is like only one process is getting executed with respect to the execution data.
