摘要： Systems and methods are described for providing task chaining as part of modeling a business process (e.g. a BPEL process). Chained tasks maintain a reference to the previous task and during retrieval of that task, the system can append relevant information, including but not limited to task history, attachments and comments of the previous task. Task chaining can be enabled by selecting a previously completed task and marking that the current task chains the selected task. In one embodiment, tasks are chained across multiple instances of a process. Accordingly, tasks in different processes can be chained together to obtain access to the same context information and other data.

摘要： A system for providing complex access control in workflows. The system comprises a computer, including a computer readable storage medium and processor operating thereon. The system also comprises at least one business process which includes a plurality of tasks. Each task is associated with a task state which changes during execution of the task. The system further comprises a plurality of logical roles. Each logical role defines a responsibility based on the task state and a member of that logical role. Additionally, the system comprises a configurable matrix of access controls that is used to control access to the plurality of tasks based on the plurality of logical roles.

摘要： A system for managing a logical people group. The system comprises a computer, including a computer readable medium and processor operating thereon. The system also comprises a query module, executing on the computer, operable to receive a complex query and return a logical group of users. The query module is operable to search, based on the complex query, across a plurality of information sources including a user directory, a plurality of roles, and an attribute directory. The system also comprises a query cache which stores, for a user-definable period, a reverse lookup table of users and the logical groups to which the users belong based on previously received complex queries.

摘要： A system and method for dynamic human workflow task assignment using business rules. In accordance with an embodiment, a human workflow system is integrated directly with business rules, to determine human task routing patterns, and participants in human tasks. Routing of tasks can also be determined by business rules. In accordance with an embodiment, at business process modeling time the workflow process designer creates human tasks in the process and specifies the business rules that determine the pattern, participant and routing information. These are integrated into the workflow task in the process. The integration of rules into human workflow can be performed using service component architecture, so that other rules engines can be plugged-in as required.

摘要： A system and method for integrating external data in human workflow tasks. In accordance with an embodiment, the system allows a workflow process designer working with a human workflow system to provide a definition of external data within a human workflow payload, and then retrieve that external data into the human workflow system. In the human workflow system, routing conditions and participants are specified according to the external data which can be materialized on demand. In accordance with an embodiment, the external data can be retrieved by calling any service, such as a Web service.

摘要： A system and method for workflow task routing based on cardinality of task data, or the structure of elements in a business object associated with a task. In accordance with an embodiment, a system such as a human workflow system, that allows for the definition of human workflow tasks, can include a forEach construct within a human task routing definition and a payload. In scenarios that require a plurality of task of similar type be undertaken, such as a purchase order approval involving a plurality of items and potentially different approvers, the system allows for modeling a separate routing for each of those task items (e.g. the lines in the purchase order). In each of the branches of the forEach construct, complex routing patterns, such as parallel routing, can be used. The forEach construct allows creating of looping constructs at any level deep.
