Dialogue step after 'wait for event'

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Que? 
How did you manage to do that?!

A wait for event step is a background step by definition - it just waits
for an event to happen.  When that event happens it completes and the
subsequent step is started.  You should be able to see the waiting event
in the workflow log and in transaction SWEINST.  

But how did you manage to get something from it into your inbox?? Is
there anything weird about your WF-BATCH setup or did you do something
unusual with your step.

Subject: Dialogue step after 'wait for event'


	Hello.

	I am currently on SAP release 4.7, Basis patch level SAPKB62050.

	I have written a workflow that has a 'Wait for event' step.
Before the step executes there are steps that are executed in dialog
mode. When the 'Wait for event' step is executed, it sends an item for
the next step to be executed into my inbox rather than just continuing
with the rest of the workflow. The 'Wait for event' step seems to go
into background mode (WF-BATCH) and that is why the item is going into
my inbox instead of executing automatically. Is there a way to make the
workflow continue after the  'Wait for event' step has executed and not
create an inbox item ?
