About the Relationship Between Parent Tasks and Collaboration Tasks
Although collaboration processes are created and run only in the My webMethods Server environment, there are some aspects of the collaboration process that the Software AG Designer user needs to be aware of. A collaboration process is a unique type of process in the My webMethods Server environment and must not be confused with a standard webMethods business process (which can be created in Designer using the Process Development perspective).
A unique collaboration process is created any time a task user creates a collaboration task on the Collaboration tab of a parent task (the task must be enabled for collaboration). The collaboration process remains running until the parent task is completed, and any additional collaboration tasks that are created are added to the collaboration process. The collaboration process is owned by the user who created the first collaboration task, and the collaboration process owner has full access and privileges to the collaboration process and the collaboration tasks in it.
The key consideration concerning the collaboration process within Designer is the ability to specify sharing of comments and attachments among all child tasks in a collaboration process by setting the comments and attachments scope.
