what clues do the logs give?

Hi Tom,

Log shows system unable to resolve attributes of my CustomerID BO, the second BO which I am trying to pass as input to the 2nd process.

What is the syntax for passing multiple BOs ? Maybe a problem there ?

There is no real syntax, you just click on the BO name in the Process Input area of the 2nd process.

When you save the 2nd process, if you don't have a context defined for a BO, it should give you a warning message.

Mmmm -

I've been calling the 2nd process with the code 'USING Customer, CustomerID' as suffix to the name of the process.

When I leave out that code and simply refer to the BOs by clicking on the BO name in the Process Input area of the 2nd process, I get a message in the logs saying Timer has made 200 transactions, and a reference to the error message.

Sounds like something is looping ........-

Posting the rules of your 2 processes may make it easier to help you.

OK Tom,

Will post some extracts later this evening.

Thanks for the help,

Peter

Just a final post on this one -

After much muddling about, I got this to work by setting only the second BO involved in process 2 as process input for process 2. No other configuration was needed.

Evidently, it appears that the first BO involved was passed automatically to the sub-process, but passing a second BO needed an explicit reference to that BO as process input.
