Appian ACD201 Exam - Topic 3 Question 11 Discussion

Actual exam question for Appian's ACD201 exam

Question #: 11
Topic #: 3

[All ACD201 Questions]

You're creating a process model that will serve as the case creation workflow.

Your requirements:

This process captures input from the user before executing a series of unattended subprocess nodes.

Each subprocess performs extended data processing which is dependent on output from each of the previous nodes.

An activity chained task node is displayed asking the user if they'd like to create another case.

What should you do?

ACombine the separate subprocesses into one synchronous subprocess and place it in between each user input task.

BConfigure the subprocess nodes to run asynchronously and set the inputs to pass as reference to enable data sharing.

CAdd an AND gate after the first user input task and place the synchronous subprocess nodes on a parallel path.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

Combining the separate subprocesses into one synchronous subprocess and placing it between each user input task ensures each subprocess's output is available for the next step, maintaining data dependencies and supporting the required user experience with activity chaining.

I disagree, A would simplify the workflow.

I like B, but I'm not sure about the reference passing part.

C could work too, but it might complicate things.

Wait, can we really run those subprocesses asynchronously?

I think option B makes sense since it allows for asynchronous processing, but I’m a bit confused about how to set up the data sharing correctly.

I feel like we've seen a question similar to this before, where parallel paths were involved. Option C could be worth considering, but I'm not confident.

I'm not entirely sure, but combining subprocesses into one synchronous subprocess sounds like it could complicate things. Maybe option A isn't the best?

I remember we discussed the importance of data dependencies in subprocesses, so I think option B might be the right choice.
