Hi Guys,
I have 2 activities having NOOP and Async UPES. My requirement is
if NOOP figure out value of Flag = "Y", then it should start UPES activity else process should stop.
If the Flag updated with value "Y", program works correctly. If I send any other value, I am getting an error

FMC00138E Process activity AlreadyFunded has one of its own parent processes assigned. Following is the chain of processes: CC=0

I really wonder, why I am getting this.

I am attaching the FDL for u guys to test.

Mahesh:

You have been bitten by the change IBM made to NOOP activities in SP3 of V3.4 (I think thats when it came about).

The new rules for a NOOP do NOT allow for a construct like you are wanting.

Inorder to get what you want you are going to have to have default connector go to another NOOP.

Silly, but that's the change that was made.

Thanks John,
I implemented the way as u mentioned few days earlier as that should not be an show stopper. I wanted to discuss with you guys to find a way to make the model more realistic!!! It looks very odd now

Thanks,

Mahesh:

It is my opinion that there is no way around this ugly model, if you want to use the IBM NOOP activity, and I think that the IBM NOOP activity is the most efficient way to implement this, even with the ugly model
