摘要:
The inventive process for modeling workflows for interacting stateful resources starts with modeling an activity sequence description (ASD) by using keywords. The keywords specify well-defined resource-interaction semantics. Each modification of the ASD automatically triggers a new checking process of the ASD in its current state which is executed by the ASD processor. The ASD processor parses the keyword, evaluates the resource-interaction semantic associated with the keyword, and creates for each modeled activity an updated resource type model and an updated resource instance model based on the information provided by the current resource type model, the current resource instance model, the semantics associated the currently processed keyword and the semantics of the relationship stereotype definition. The present invention allows modeling of the workflow with the underlying resources at the same time by using the keywords and ensures consistency between the workflows and the underlying resource model already during the modeling process.

A data processing method is disclosed. The data processing method comprises the step of receiving a request for a service interface description of a service from a client at a server, wherein the service is implemented via a first service endpoint at the server, and wherein the first service endpoint is associated with a first service endpoint interface description. In a further step, a given set of correlations is employed for the determination of service endpoints correlated with the first service endpoint with respect to the service, wherein each of the correlated service endpoints is associated with a service endpoint interface description. Furthermore the service interface description is generated by aggregating the first service endpoint interface description with the service endpoint interface descriptions of the correlated service endpoints and the service interface description is provided to the client.

摘要:
The idea of the present invention is to provide a method for automatically transforming a provider offering describing a customer specific service environment in business terms into a machine readable form which can be automatically processed by resource management systems. The input for the transformation is the provider's offering in business terms as well information from the resource catalog. The result of the transformation is a customer specific service environment topology that states all the necessary resource types, their configurations and their dependencies. Based on that customer specific service environment topology and information from the resource management catalog, a customer specific service environment definition (SED) is automatically generated which contains all the configuration information and definitions of the resource management actions in order to instantiate and drive the operation of the service environment. The SED can be deployed into a resource management system that automatically executes the resource management actions without the error prone configuration steps otherwise needed.
摘要:
A method of coupling asynchronous process interaction between computer systems integrated within an overall system of interconnected systems includes receiving a set of information describing an invocation call for execution of a first process on a first system integrated within the overall system; correlating a first callback argument received upon completion of the first process that includes a first unique identifier for the first process generated by the first system with the set of information according to the first unique identifier for the first process; and sending a notification message to a callback endpoint in a second process implemented to receive notification upon completion of the first process by the first system indicating completion of the first process. The second process executing on a second system integrated within the overall system makes the invocation call. The set of information specifies the first unique identifier and the callback endpoint.
摘要:
A metadata file can be automatically generated based on a database instance and a user defined maximum depth. The relationships between data objects that constitute a business object may be visualized in a tree. The maximum depth limits the number of levels in the tree to traverse. A metadata file describes the structure of a business object and relationships between sets of data objects that constitute the business object. The structure defined in the metadata file can be used to export instances of the business object from the database. The exported business object instances can be imported to another database.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the field of systems management on IT-resources using web services. An improved method proposes a single web service implementation which dynamically and automatically generates multiple WSDLs for respective multiple resource type classes. This implementation is model-agnostic, as it doesn't require any knowledge about the underlying model, be that a resource model, or any other model in question, and uses introspection of the applied model at the time of invocation for the dynamic WSDL generation. The state of the resource is maintained within the instrumentation of the resource. No additional persistence on top needs to be implemented. A single implementation of a low number of generic web services, basically only two, reduces implementation and maintenance efforts significantly.
摘要:
One aspect of the present invention provides a workflow model to effectively respond to outage events within an IT infrastructure. This workflow model enables a combination of manual and automated processing to effectively deploy a flexible, plannable, and testable recovery to outages and problems encountered within IT infrastructure settings. In one embodiment, a shared processing context is created to accompany the operations of the workflow, thereby collecting useful data in one location related to events and status information during the outage and the outage response. Within the workflow, analysis of the outage event is performed, an appropriate recovery plan is selected, the selected recovery plan is implemented, and recovery to the outage event is completed. Data collected within the processing context can be analyzed to obtain post mortem analysis and continuous service improvements. Accordingly, the improvements can be implemented within the IT infrastructure directly or within the appropriate recovery plan.
