Event-based gateway

A branching point in a process, where the alternative paths are based on events that occur, rather than expressions.

When execution reaches an event-based gateway, the process stops and waits. Collibra subscribes to all events connected via outgoing sequence flows. When the first event occurs, the process continues along that path and all other event subscriptions are cancelled.

A typical use case is a timeout pattern: the process waits for a message event or a timer event, whichever arrives first.

Yes, exclusive: Asynchronous and with no other exclusive asynchronous jobs in the same process run at the same time. Yes, non-exclusive: Asynchronous and can run concurrently with other asynchronous jobs in the same process.
