Hi all,

I’ve created two processes. I want that the process A throws a signal and the B catch that signal.  
Both processes are in separated definitons.  
Process A:  
 ![sinalT](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/flowable/original/2X/6/6981a2048a532e580b3f113da9fee49cd312d0b7.jpeg)  
I´ve created the signal definition (Global) and them attached the signal reference to Intermediate signal throwing event.

Process B:  
 ![sinalC](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/flowable/original/2X/9/9d61fc2b371f9c311d7059bf2eb942c5c953ef31.jpeg)  
In the process B I can´t find the signal reference to previous defined signal of the process A.

How can I do this?

Thanks all!

Did you configure the signal event in both definitions on the root level with the same id?

Did you set the signal to global (and not process-instance) scope? (I assume so, given what you’ve said).

Can you paste the xml of both, to verify the above?
