摘要:
Agent server software provides for simple workflow relationships among message-initiated tasks. The agent software runs as a Java J2EE application and supports software agents, each of which incorporates a message-driven bean. A required invoker agent accepts Java Messaging Service (JMS, original or as-translated from HTTP) messages requesting a goal to be accomplished. The invoker agent checks an agent-configuration file to identify an agent that can accomplish the goal; if the identified agent has prerequisites that are not met by the contents of the request, the invoker agent can invoke intermediate agents to fulfill the requirements. An intermediate agent can invoke the goal-fulfilling agent once all its prerequisites are met. Each request and each agent invocation is recorded in an agent-server database so that progress is tracked and so retries and recovery can be achieved in the event of a failure or fault.

Customer support personnel can access via a vendor's portal an automated support vendor website to view the status of a fault incident that is being handled by the vendor's automated support system. In an illustrated embodiment, the customer can actually alter the status of the fault incident while it is being handled on the vendor's site.

摘要:
A method of providing an automated support notification is described. The method comprises receiving a support request identifying a problem and querying a data store for a solution related to the support request. The method further comprises generating a solution request if the querying a data store for a solution fails to identify a solution and receiving at least a reference to a solution. The method further comprises transmitting at least the received reference to the solution based on at least one support request identified by querying the data store for a support request related to at least a portion of the solution.

摘要:
A Java-enabled computer system (AP1) hosts an application server (11) and a database (13). The application server hosts an agent server (15), a database access layer (17), and a servlet container (19). The agent server hosts a set of software agents (AGI, AGR, AG1, AG2 . . . AGN) for responding to customer requests. The agents can be invoked in series to meet a customer request. When one of the agents fails, an administrator is notified. The administrator can access an administration console (30) using a browser (43). From the administration console, the administrator can edit the request and resubmit it directly to the agent suffering the failure without re-invoking preceding agents that completed their services successfully.
