Abstract: An intelligent queue may be used to facilitate communication among a set business application programs. In one embodiment, the intelligent queue may interact with a variety of business application programs providing consistent service behaviors across a variety of data store products. The intelligent queue provides extended message storage, efficient journalling, interoperability with other intelligent queues, load balancing, once-only processing, as well as detailed message state information that tracks the status of each message from both the sender and the recipient's perspective.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for operating a Web browser as if the Web browser were a Web service server with and without a business process engine. Data fields in a HTML Web page under naming conventions are mapped into tree-structured data fields of a XML document so that a response from the Web browser can be represented as an output of a Web Service server.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for using a Web-service based business process to interact with a Web browser as if the Web browser were a Web service server. In one exemplary implementation, an interface module with a HTTP server is provided to convert data from the Web browser into an XML document from a Web service server and to convert data from the business process engine in an XML document to a Web service server into a Web page for the Web browser. The business process engine may be programmed in the Business Process Execution Language for Web Services (BPEL) or other suitable business process execution languages.

Abstract: The present invention is related to systems and methods that parse and/or translate inbound messages into outbound messages such that disparate computer systems can communicate intelligibly. In one embodiment, a system recursively parses the inbound message such that relatively fewer outbound message structure definitions are required and advantageously decreases the usage of resources by the system. Further, one system in accordance with the present invention allows an operator to configure the identity of a delimiter in the inbound message. The delimiter can span multiple characters and includes the logical inverse of a set of delimiters. The outbound message can be accessed at nodes within a hierarchy, as well as at leaves. Thus, a user need not know the precise location of data within the outbound message. A set of updating rules further permits the updating of an outbound message without having to re-parse an entire inbound message.

Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods that allow business analysts to quickly identify inefficiencies and latencies in distributed business processes. A model of the business process is created. The model identifies activities that are part of the business process. When activities of the business process are initiated and completed, the status of the activities is reported over a network, such as in a data queue. The activities corresponding to the monitored business process are detected and monitored as the activities are reported over the network. The activities of many instances of the business process are monitored and tracked. An activity is further identified in a data store with the instance to which the activity belongs. Thus, activities relating to a single instance of the process can be analyzed. One embodiment combines and relates other aspects and parameters of the monitored business process to the activities of individual instances.
