  • Patent number: 11281461
    Abstract: Methods and systems may be associated with a workflow management environment. An external data store may be associated with a persistence technology to contain operational data. A workflow management platform may include a running workflow and a workflow context associated with a persistence technology to contain application state information. A data access language component may be coupled between the running workflow and the external data store to access the operational data in a declarative way. The data access language component may, for example, copy the operational data transparently for a developer of the running workflow. The data access language component may then store the operational data transiently in a short-lived session and, after the operational data is processed by the running flow, release the operational data. According to some embodiments, changes made to the to the operational data are automatically played back to the external data store.

  • Patent number: 10621258
    Abstract: Consolidated lists of items provided by or generated based on data provided by multiple provider systems can be presented, at a requestor system, in a series of pages. Navigation between pages in the series of pages can occur with a re-querying of the multiple provider systems in a manner that correctly populates the requested new page to reflect up to date information about the items that belong on that page.

  • Publication number: 20190236514
    Abstract: A system for consecutive user tasks to drive processes is provided. In some implementations, the system performs operations comprising defining a plurality of workflow model tasks, the plurality of workflow model tasks comprising a first user task and a second user task. The operations further include assigning, in response to a selection in a first user interface, the second user task to be subsequent to the first user task; storing the assignment of the second user task in a database, the assignment comprising an identifier of the second user task; receiving an indication that the first user task was completed by a user; retrieving the identifier of the second user task from the database; and generating, in response to receiving the indication, a second user interface, the second user interface indicating to the user that the second user task is assigned to the user.

  • Publication number: 20180165308
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods, systems, and computer program products for deriving a data structure for a processing model. One computer-implemented method includes receiving a first sample data set for a process model; deriving, by at least one hardware processor, a first data structure based on the first sample data set; receiving a second sample data set for the process model; and modifying, by the at least one hardware processor, the first data structure to generate a second data structure based on the second sample data set.

  • Patent number: 9721230
    Abstract: In a first method, a developer mode is determined when a workflow template patch is received, and execution of new workflow instances is either blocked or permitted, or continued execution of workflow instances is forbidden. In a second method, parallelization of workflow execution is provided in an in-memory database management system. In a third method, after received user privilege information, database records associated with a workflow are determined and stored for use at workflow instance runtime. In a fourth method, artifacts used by a workflow are identified using a workflow template. When a command to execute a workflow instance is received, information is stored for generating instances of artifacts for use during execution of the workflow instance. In a fifth method, for a workflow template to be inactivated, the associated workflow template is suspended after currently executing workflow instances have completed and job executors have acknowledged a suspending state.

  • Patent number: 8091043
    Abstract: A first element in a graphical modeling environment is selected by a user which results in a plurality of speed buttons adjacent to the first element being displayed. Such speed buttons define operations to be conducted on the first element in connection with a second element. After one of the displayed speed buttons is selected, it can be dragged to a display point. A second element is generated at the display point based on the selected displayed speed button which is linked to the first element. The link can be characterized by the operations defined by the selected displayed speed button. Related techniques, apparatus, systems, and products are also described.

  • Publication number: 20100037202
    Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for generating graphical editors for developing model-driven software are disclosed. A domain-specific meta model that describes one or more domain models of the software is generated. The meta model includes classes representing domain objects of each of the one or more domain models, and includes associations representing a mapping among the domain objects of each of the one or more domain models. The meta model is enriched with additional information using a profile. The classes and the associations of the meta model are annotated with tagged values based on the profile to generate an enhanced meta model. A graphical editor for developing model-driven software is then generated based on the enhanced meta model.
