Hi Margaret,

Yes, you assume correctly. The tRFC is the technical process by which
the context switch is accomplished. Your userid creates the workitem (a
side effect of advance with dialog) and then initiates a tRFC to start a
new logon session for user WF-BATCH, which then executes the workitem.

In other words a tRFC will always appear where the processing switches
from dialog to background. If you skip the Check Approver step then the
next background step will show a tRFC.

Cheers,
Mike
