Abstract: A method of recovering batch-based processes may include providing an interface for receiving processes recoverability information. The recoverability information may include (i) information describing a mutual exclusivity of data affected by a process, (ii) information describing sub-processes associated with the process, and/or (iii) information describing scope cleanup procedures associated with the process. The method may also include receiving the recoverability information through the interface, and receiving an indication that the process experienced an error while being executed on a client system. The method may additionally include providing the process recoverability information to make a recoverability determination for the process.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for defining and executing custom business rules to influence or control execution of a business process and allowing software providers to deliver externally extensible business applications which in turn allow customers of those applications to implement their own business rules and conditions using a browser based UI, without modifying the actual code in the base application. A user interface (UI) based business rule configurator allows users to define business rules and conditions that can be executed by a rules engine integrated with the client extensions and no custom code is required for business users to extend the business logic and no future custom code maintenance is required.
