How to start the dialog workflow process immediately without goin g to the workplace?

[Zmudzin,Tomasz,VEVEY,GL-DS/DM]

Jouri,
 
we need to distinguish between a workflow process and the user interaction.
 
* A workflow process is started (almost) immediately after you create the
event.
* The work item a user is requested to process is usually only one of many
tasks of the workflow.
* The execution of the process is shielded from the execution of the code
that started it. Thus you cannot feasibly switch the user session in which
you invoke the workflow process to the execution of its tasks (I believe
that's what you'd like to see).
* This is intentional and has been implemented by SAP in this way for very
good reasons.
* If you need some direct user interaction, you can write a corresponding
ABAP dialog and call it wherever you need to have it. This code can then
either start the rest of the workflow process, or feed into any workflow
scenario by raising events.
 
Kind regards,
Tomasz

Dear Workflow experts,
 
Does anyone know how to start the Workflow flow process immediately without
going to the workplace? (I assume it is possible)
 
I am creating the event in the user in the update task, but I do not want
the user to get the notification first to go to the  INBOX , etc. I just
want the dialog to make a user decision be started immediately.
 
Have anyone experinece wth this. Are there any function modules to do this/
 
Thanks beforehand,
 
Regards,
