How to notify one subprocess from another subprocess

Question

Hi All
I have a situation in which I need to notify one sub process from another sub process.e.g
Let say Parent Process is - A
First Child Process of A - a1 (Subprocess)
Second Child Process of A - a2 (Subprocess)
I have created Correlation for both the sub process. Now when I try to find a1(Subprocess) from an activity which is in a2(Subprocess), I am not able to do this.
Code that I have used from a2(Subprocess) to notify a1(Subprocess) is as follows
instanceId = Correlation.findInstanceBy(name : "a1Subprocess", values : {"a"});
if(instanceId!=null){
Notification.send(instanceId : instanceId, activityName : "TerminateA1", parameters : null);
where "a1Subprocess" is Correlation name of a1(Subprocess) and "TerminateA1" is a NotificationWait activity in a1(Subprocess).
Question is how can I correctly notify a1(Subprocess) from a2(Subprocess).
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
There's another thread on this forum where I posted an answer to this today. Take a look at that.
I'll admit that this is challenging (one of my simple 8 step processes), so I posted a working Oracle 10g Studio project example that has a split with notifications going between the child siblings. In the example on [Notification between siblings inside a Split activity|http://www.4shared.com/file/95299867/e7705994/CorrelationNotificationBetweenSplitSiblings.html] you'll see that this example aborts the sibling's instance (in the Interactive after the Notification Wait (now called Message Wait). Change the logic in this to suit your needs.
Hope this helps,
