The subflow mode tells the process instance what to do when the subproces=
s is=20
started.

sync: the workitem that invoked the subprocess will wait for the subproce=
ss=20
to reach its end. When the subprocess ends, the subflow activity complete=
s=20
the workitem.

async: the workitem that invoked the subprocess will NOT wait for the=20
subprocess to reach its end. As soon as the subprocess is started, the=20
subflow activity completes the workitem.


Example:

Process main:
Begin,
SubflowToSub,
End

Process sub:
Begin,
myact,
End

if SubflowToSub is set to sync the flow will be:

Begin(main)
|
SubflowToSub(main)
|
Begin(sub)
|
myact(sub)
|
End(sub)
|
End(main)


if SubflowToSub is set to async the flow will be:

Begin(main)
|
SubflowToSub(main)
|=09\
|=09Begin(sub)
|=09|
|=09myact(sub)
|=09|
|=09End(sub)
|
End(main)

clear enough?
