Begin Parallel Block
Use this block to enable the design of multiple threads, such as running busy treatments in parallel files. A thread is a list of blocks that run one after another. Use the End Parallel block to mark the end of the threads that were started by a matching Begin Parallel block. Starting with 8.1.2, Composer removes the restriction on the type of blocks that can be used in a busy treatments chain in 8.1.0 and earlier. Blocks such as the ECMAScript block, Database blocks, and so on, are now usable in busy treatment chains. Blocks that work on an interaction or create new interactions may not be used as busy treatments.
Body Property
This property represents the SCXML that is mandatorily executed in the Parallel block before the parallel regions or legs begin to execute. This is useful for initialization of variables or other logic that should be completed before parallel regions begin to execute.
