摘要:
A graphical user interface (GUI) scheduler program is provided for modeling business workflow processes. The GUI scheduler program includes tools to allow a user to create a schedule for business workflow processes based on a set of rules defined by the GUI scheduler program. The rules facilitate deadlock not occurring within the schedule. The program provides tools for creating and defining message flows between entities. Additionally, the program provides tools that allow a user to define a binding between the schedule and components, such as COM components, script components, message queues and other workflow schedules. The scheduler program allows a user to define actions and group actions into transactions using simple GUI scheduling tools. The schedule can then be converted to executable code in a variety of forms such as XML, C, C+ and C++. The executable code can then be converted or interpreted for running the schedule.

A methodology of reducing process algebra to a language that facilitates modeling a business workflow process is provided. A process algebra is reduced to a model for business workflow processes. The model is then reduced to a scheduling programming language to allow users to create models of business process by selecting between features of the model and conventional modeling features. The scheduling programming language can be represented as a graphical user interface program that is convertible to a schedule language written in a programmable language. The present invention provides for explicitly representing parallelism within the business workflow process by separating interdependent transactions from independent transactions. The isolation of certain transactions are relaxed, such that users can define transactional boundaries in order to increase granularity of the transaction at an action level and provide visibility of transactions at intermediate steps.
摘要:
A method for executing a schedule in a workflow application is provided. The method comprises a hierarchical transaction commit rule allowing access to the data associated with an action in the schedule according to a transaction boundary and the state of the action. The invention further comprises selectively compensating at least one action according to a compensation parameter and at least one transaction boundary after abortion of another action. The invention further provides storing schedule state information to a storage medium based on a transaction boundary within the schedule. In addition, the invention provides for selectively obtaining at least a portion of the schedule state information from the storage medium, and selectively monitoring the schedule execution based on at least a portion of the schedule information obtained from the storage medium. Further provided, is a computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for performing the steps of the above methods.

An error-handling framework is provided for business process transactions. The error-handling framework facilitates coordination of the invocation of exception and compensation handlers in response to errors. The error-handling framework includes support for custom ordering of compensation actions, data flow into and out of compensation actions, and management of the process state visible to compensation actions.
摘要:
A methodology of employing a binding for interfacing a business workflow process executable program to a real world implementation. The binding can be reduced to a programming language. A preferable programming language is XML (Extensible Markup Language). Separation of the business workflow processes and the binding allow for the same business workflow process to be implemented across a variety of different technologies. The binding maps ports and messages to corresponding units of codes and invocations of a particular technology being utilized for the modeling of the business workflow process. The binding provides a user with the ability to structure schedule messages, define the relationship of schedule ports to units of code, define the relationship of schedule actions to invocations, control the flow of data between messages, provide details of schedule conditionals and specify the interaction of the schedule with specific technology behaviors.

A server adapted to provide client functionality may include an offsite centralized data center and a local client functionality component that may be stored in the offsite centralized data center. The offsite centralized data center may remotely host the local client functionality component such that information stored in the local client functionality component appears local to a client. The server may further include a client interface that receives local client information from the client. The local client information may be replicated by the client before being received by the client interface and remotely hosted by the offsite centralized data center.
