Select Main Process

There are many use cases where a running (parent) process might need to call and execute another process as a subprocess (child process). In some cases, you may wish the subprocess to run separately from, but in parallel with, the parent process. This type of subprocess is called an Asynchronous subprocess. Running a subprocess Asynchronously is appropriate when the parent process is not dependent on the subprocess, and can continue irrespective of the subprocesses status. For instance, you may wish to run an automated process, such as a Form or document conversion as a subprocess, rather than impose a pause in the main process while the subprocess operates. In this simulation, we’ll configure a Process Timeline, Main Process, to call the Subprocess Process Timeline to run asynchronously.
