Could someone please explain at what specific point in workflow does the approval mode change to parallelPoll and why it happens? I want to replicate this in my custom approval framework. please be advised the workflow that I have used here is OOTB and changed the approvalScheme to manager,owner, the approvalMode serial

hi @sreeram

Please, check approvalMode variable in your workflow Approve and Provision Subprocess, by default this variable is initialized to parrallel

  <Variable initializer="parallel" input="true" name="approvalMode">

“approvelMode” variable in the Approve and Provision Subprocess workflow has this information

Hi @ismaelmoreno1 @rajeshs,

thanks for your response, The variable is initialized to be parallel, how does it change to parallelPoll?

[rajeshs (Rajesh Kumar)]

Hi @sreeram
Can you check all your approval schemes defined in Approval Object?

[sreeram (Sreeram N)]

Hi @rajeshs @ismaelmoreno1
I have gone through the approvalModes. If the approvalSplitPoint is defined the approvalMode, would change to parallelPoll. However In this case the the approvalScheme is “manager, owner”, and the approvalSplitPoint is not defined.

First level of approval is in serial
Second level of approval in parallelPoll

I wanted to understand how & why the second level of approval is in parallelPoll

Hi @sreeram

Please, check you variable approvalMode in workflow Identity Request Approve . By default it is set as serial

<Variable initializer="serial" input="true" name="approvalMode">

Then, when step Owner Approval is executed, the approval mode value will be the ref of approvalMode

 <Step icon="Approval" name="Owner Approval" posX="389" posY="211">
    <Approval mode="ref:approvalMode" owner="call:buildOwnerApprovals" renderer="lcmWorkItemRenderer.xhtml" send="identityDisplayName,identityName,policyViolations">

Please for more details enable logs in workflow Identity Request Approve
