Display another interface from the StartProcess Smart service

Question

Hi, 
 I'm in an interface A, and I'm calling a process from a!startProcess. Inside the process I have an Input task to display interface B. 
 Could you explain me why when I call the process, it works fine but the Interface B is never displayed ? 
 (all the nodes are linked with chaining)

I think for your use case, you may have the parent interface as a startForm to the process and then any other subsequent interfaces as input task and have the activity chaining will achieve whatever you are trying to do.

 In this case you'll need to use the asynchronous call provided by a!startProcess() . 
 The concept is that a!startProcess can be called from anywhere, run in the background, and come up with some results for you instantly/chained, that will then be fed back via fv!processInfo. With a!startProcessLink() , the concept is totally different, and there is no presumption that you will be returning any data to the original interface, and of course the original interface will presumably be reloaded from scratch. So you'll need to choose which of these concepts is the one you actually need, and build accordingly.

They're for two totally separate use cases. That was my point. Can you give us more details as to your use case, so we can help you figure out what's more appropriate?
