I came across the same problem and what I can tell you is that since =
step 3
is a background step, the dialog is lost, making step 5 to go to the =
inbox
instead of popping up. =20
        A solution that I found, applied to your problem would be to make
step 3 a dialog step (although it executes a non dialog method).  =
There's no
problem with doing this and by doing it, the dialog flow is not lost.  =
What
you need to do is uncheck the background processing box on the task and =
make
sure that your Agent assignment is defined for the task.
 
The container operation should NOT break the dialog flow.

Hi everyone,
 
I have a workflow with the folowing steps:
 
Step 1 : user decision (execute by user A)
Step 2 : show a transaction (execute by user A)
Step 3 : background task that calculate a value
Step 4 : container opertation
Step 5 : show another transaction (execute by user A)
 
The step 1 and 2 show directly on the user screen but the step 5 ends up =
in
a new work item in the user business workplace.
 
All the interactive steps have the "Advance with dialog" check box =
checked.
 
How can I make Steps 1, 2 and 5 display in sequence since it's the same =
user
who must execute them ?
 
Thanks
