Hi Prasad,
<b>Fork:</b>
You use a fork when you want to continue a process in branches that are independent of each other, for example, to communicate with two systems that are independent of each other. The branches of the fork join in a union operator.
You can specify the required number of branches and then define whether the process must run through all branches, or just a particular number of branches. Furthermore, you can define an end condition for the fork

<b>Switch:</b>
You use a switch to define different processing branches for a process. The Otherwise processing branch is created automatically.
You define a condition for each processing branch (see also: Condition Editor). The condition is checked at runtime. The process is continued in the branch that is first to return the value true. If no branch returns the value true, then the process is continued in the Otherwise branch.
