  • Publication number: 20230359968
    Abstract: An intelligent integration system runs a workflow implementation in a test mode with an avatar, a set of handlers, and a choreography. The system receives a message from the second entity to the first entity via their respective avatars. The arrival of data in the message triggers the first entity to invoke an integration activity which utilizes the set of handlers. The integration activity follows the choreography and moving the data through the choreography is defined and governed by a choreography key. The system may stop moving the data through the choreography, determine/generate a handler that can meet a requirement of the choreography key that is not met by the set of handlers, and update the workflow implementation to include the handler. The system may then continue or restart the workflow implementation with the handler that can meet the requirement of the choreography key.

  • Publication number: 20230359470
    Abstract: At design time, an intelligent integration system may create a new avatar to represent, in a computing environment where the intelligent integration system operates, a computing system of an entity, the new avatar having a set of states, transitions, and data items, wherein the entity is one of a pair of entities having a conversation, each of the pair of entities having a choreography. The intelligent integration system may access a library containing avatars, determine a current configuration of states, transitions, and validation rules for the avatars, and perform a gap analysis. The gap analysis can identify gaps between the states, transitions, and data items of the new avatar and the current configuration of states, transitions, and validation rules for the avatars. The intelligent integration system is operable to determine a set of handlers that can remediate the gaps and update a workflow implementation to include the set of handlers.

  • Publication number: 20230342725
    Abstract: A method for enabling transactions may include defining states of a transactional system that implements the method and transitions between the states. Each transition between the states can comprise a data item. The transactional system may determine the states and the transitions between the states used by the first entity, determine the states and the transitions between the states used by the second entity, determine a required state not used by the first entity but is used by the second entity, and determine a required transition between the states. The required transition between the states is not used by the first entity but is used by the second entity. The transactional system may determine a required data item of the required transition between the states and define a handler to enable transactions between the first entity and the second entity in the transactional system.

  • Patent number: 6796419
    Abstract: A belt tensioning assembly for use with a power transmission system including a belt extending between a driver pulley and a driven pulley is provided. The tensioning assembly includes an idler engageable with the belt and rotatably attached to a frame pivotally secured to a base for the power transmission system adjacent the driver pulley. A biasing assembly is pivotally attached between the frame and the base for the transmission system and includes a biasing mechanism adapted to urge the idler contact with into the belt. As the tension in the belt changes due to changes in the power demand, the idler is automatically urged with varying force against the slack side of the belt by the biasing mechanism to provide near constant tension on the belt as it moves between the pulleys.
