A multinode activation and termination method and system A method and
system is provided for invoking multiple parallel instances of the same
node. First, a multinode is defined that allows for multiple parallel
activation of the node. At run time, a determination is made of the
number of nodes to be activated based on an activation rule. The
multinodes are then executed. Each multinode can be provided with
different input data for execution, thereby allowing one to fine tune the
input and attributes of each node. A termination rule is utilized to
determine when the execution of the multinode is completed. When the
execution of the multinode is complete, a successor node is then
executed. When the execution of the multinode is not complete, processing
continues on the multinode.
