L3 - Default Steps to Reproduce
- execute the attached process
- observe the execution metrics
Problem
The attached process has three elements including a MI User Task with Loop Cardinality 3. When I execute the process I would expect a FNI count of 5 but observe an FNI count of 6.
Hint
As execution metrics tracking is implemented through ExecutionListeners, it counts parent multi instance execution plus child executions. This is why the counter is always +1 than expected. Technically correct but hard to understand from a user perspective.
michael.schoettes, I had a discussion with thorben.lindhauer, and this is the expected behavior. An activity will be created for the "parent" scope, which contains the loop cardinality variable, as well as separate "child" activities for each separate instance. It's the same as a sub-process, there will be an FNI for all the activities in the sub-process, as well as an additional FNI for the actual sub-process instance.
As this is expected behavior, I'm closing this ticket.
Best,
Nikola
