Issue with 'Advance with dialog'

[Sue Doughty]

Hi Sharath,

 

The fact that you have a background task in between two dialog tasks
will cause the results you are seeing.

 

I don't know what version you are on, but you might look into Before and
After methods.  I've never used this so I don't know if it will work.
You could have an after method in your General Task to execute the
background task, then it would go directly to the User Decision step.

 

Again, I've never used this, but you might want to look into it.

Subject: Issue with 'Advance with dialog'

 

Hi All.

I have a background task between 'General task' and a 'User Decision
Step'. All of them are checked with 'advance with dialog option' option.

The issue is, when a same user is executing general task work item, user
decision task is not popping up instantly ..Instead the user need to
refresh his inbox to see the decision work item in his inbox..

 

is the 'advance with dialog option' functionality is limited just for
two steps...?

 

Here is the scenario..

 

in General Taks.. Invoice Coder(User) will enter invoice Item in FV60(I
have method calling Call Transaction FV60, with terminating event
'Completed') and saves it as 'Save as completed'. In the background task
I am reading the approver from that invoice item details and sending
approver a approval work item..

 

in some cases the coder himself can be approver...I would like to show
the approval decision step instantly... any suggestions...

 

 

 

thanks,

Sharath
