Invoking a Sub-Process Asynchronously

You can create asynchronous sub-processes from a process to allow you to run sub-processes independent of the main process, when you are not concerned if they complete before the main process.

1. Create the main process containing a call sub-process activity.
2. On the Properties for the call-sub-process activity, use the Lifecycle option, on the General tab in the Properties view to select Asynchronous invocation mode.
3. Click on the sign on the call sub-process activity to open the asynchronous sub-process in a new window.
4. Create the content of your asynchronous sub-process.
