Lock one process

[Kamila]

Hi Team,

We have 2 similar processes under one member in workflow. I need to lock process A, when B is completed. Could you please advise what method to use? 

Many thanks!

@Kamila  - You can use the below method to lock. I am not sure what do you mean by Close ? What are you trying to close ?

BRApi.Workflow.Locking.LockWorkflowUnitDescendants(si, wfClusterPk, profileTypeFilter, workflowChannelKey)

@Kamila  - My understanding is that you have 2 Import Process under the WF and you would like to lock Process A when B is completed. If that is the case 

1. If you are not using WF channel and the process is manual load then you can lock B then A will automatically lock because it is using the same Standard WF channel.

2. If you are using WF channel & also automation you can perform this using Extender Business rule by load it to the cube once lock process B then Loca A as well.

Thank you Krishna for your reply!

Yes, I have 2 import processes under WF and I can't lock them manually each time. I wanted to use your (2) option to create a Extender BR, but I couldn't find any method to close specific process under workflow.

I have 2 similar import processes within one workflow and unfortunately both should be enabled. When user decides to use process A, process B should be locked (and vice versa). The goal is to prevent completion of both processes.

@Kamila  - In that Case you have to use WF channel so the lock will be independent of each other then you can use the WF Event Handler to lock based on which WF profile has been selected by user.
