Creation of the cache need to be a step of the running objects

The creation of the cache is a separate step for the objects that require a prompt to be executed, this new step use a slot of the background process.

That means that all the "number" of the current and past activities are not correct, every report that need the cache is duble counted.

Another big problem is that we define a certain number of objects that can run in the same moment in background mode, with the cache this number is not correct.

If i set that 20 objects can run in the same moment, if all these reports need to generate a cache, we will have 20 cache in execution and 0 report until the creation of the cache is finished!

Iif something goes wrong in the creation of the cache or it takes for example 3 minutes, it means that for 3 minutes no object will be executed.

I suggest to put the creation of the cache as a step of the execution of the reports.
