Parallel synchronous calls from BPM

Question

Hi,
how many parallel synchronous calls can XI perform at once?
Reason why I ask, for me it looks like parallel calls are handled sequentially in XI.
My scenario: I have a ccBPM that should ask three different synchronous WebServices to collect data. In the BPM I used the Branch element where one synch call is in every branch.
Unfortunately at runtime the monitoring says that the WebServices are asked consecutive and not parallel.
Even if I start a performance test an run 10 BPMs at the same time, all WebServices are asked consecutive.
So is there a unknown hidden parameter to force parallel sync calls or is XI not able to perform such calls?
Regards,

Answer 1

Hi,
Maximum Number of receivers you couls send at a time are 999. So i think u can make 999 webservice parallel calls at a time.
Using BPM:
First have a receive step and then the receiver determination  and the out put of this step would be a multi line element(containing all the receivers identified during the runtime).And then create a block step in par for each mode and in the properties give the multielement name created from the receiver determination step and then a send step in the block in synchronous mode.
In ID confgure all the receivers.
Thanks,
Vijaya.
