Thanks Kris. After reading the documentation I had been expecting and hoping 
for threading in parallel branches. I gather that asynchronous work items are a 
new feature in version 5. They look like they will provide what we are looking 
for.

  It depends on what kind of activities you are trying to execute in each of 
your branches.  The AND-split will not assign   different threads to each of 
the branches, but trigger the outgoing branches one after the other. However, 
this results in  parallelism when one of the branches contains wait states.  
For example, if I add two parallel human tasks in my flow, the and  split will 
first create the first task and not wait for its completion but also trigger 
the creation of the second task.  At that point, both tasks are executing in 
parallel.
 
  So parallel execution will occur if you execute your work asynchronously 
(using work items) or have wait states (like an event   wait or timer node).  
And we recommend users to use asynchronous work items to execute actions that 
are not instantaneous but might take some time to process.

  Subject: [rules-users] Parallel rule execution in a RuleFlow


  I've been experimenting with ruleflows and in particular parallel execution. 
According to the documentation an AND split
  "means that the control flow will continue in all outgoing connections 
simultaneously".

  I've been unable to demonstrate this. All my rules in one branch always 
execute before the rules on the other branch (I have an AND join joining these 
branches again).

  Is this the expected behaviour or am I doing something wrong?
