Question

Display another interface from the StartProcess Smart service

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)

You need to use a startProcessLink instead of startProcess.

    startProcess starts a process async. This means it is started on the available engine and hence even if you have chained, it will not work. It is best when you have a set of tasks that you want to complete in the background.

    Yes, I used to know this (startProcess is async) but I've completely forgot that detail ;-)

    Thank you

    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.

    Great idea, thank you. I will think about it.
