good afternoon,

I want to know how I can run two pools , ie , the process must send data from one pool to another, depending on the data to process , but the second pool is not started.

I’m worked Bonita 6.

Thanks!

Hi.  
You can’t send data to a process that is not started.

If you want to send data between processes, you can use Messages event. But it works only between two processes that are at a “Throw Message” / “Catch Message” event.

There may be other solutions that depends on what you want to do.

You can use a connector to send a StartProcess event with data which will start the second process from the first…
