Globiflow Race Conditions, Long Flows, Subroutines

Hi everyone,

I have have created some really long complex flows in Globiflow and have run into a maximum Globiflow size limit. I have also run into problems with race conditions in which I try to perform some action and it is not completed by the time I want to perform another action.

I have searched for how to create multiple flows and link them, but I have not found anything that seems to cover what I want to do.

In essence, I would like to have subroutine flows that I can call from main flows. My worry is that, if I manually trigger a first subroutine flow from my main and then manually trigger a second subroutine from main, the second will start running before the first one is complete.

I have used the "wait" action, but this is a bit overkill (30 seconds?!) and you can only use on per flow. I am not aware of any way to create loop to act as a delay other than pulling a bunch of records and looping on them.

Can anyone provide guidance on how to have first flow wait for a second flow to complete?

Thanks!

Matt
