Attribute information of a pending data handling process to be performed is identified. Historical data handling processes for a same application scenario as the pending data handling process are identified based on the attribute information. A time that each identified historical data handling process is performed and methods used to perform the identified historical data handling processes are also identified. A weighting coefficient for each identified historical data handling process is determined. Weighted identified historical data handling processes are calculated by applying the weight coefficient to each identified historical data handling process. A recommended weight for each method used to perform the identified historical data handling processes is determined by combining weighted identified historical data handling processes that use the same method. A method that has the highest recommended weight to perform the pending data handling process is recommended.
