Performing a final task in a process

Post by kklosson »

Here's my process:

FIND BO IN BATCHES OF 100
[Call Process] to extract document attributes into a folder structure
[Call Process] EXECUTE PROGRAM to zip the file/folder structure to .zip
[Call Process] DISPLAY URL to download the .zip file

Everything works but it seems no matter how I structure things, the second process (zip files) is always executed for each object resulting in an embedded .zip files inside of each .zip file. I only want to zip the files once when the whole file structure is built. Step one needs to be completed before moving to step 2. How can I do that?

add parent process
calls Process A, then Process B

lines 1 & 2 in Process A
lines 3 & 4 in Process B

Thanks, Jaymer. I have tried that configuration. I still get recursive zip files.

Looks like I got it. It was as you said. I needed to isolate the initial procedure completely.
Thanks!
