  • Publication number: 20260133824
    Abstract: An example implementation may include: obtaining a child workflow derived from a parent workflow, wherein the parent workflow is specified to include states and transitions therebetween; determining a modified state or transition of the child workflow; obtaining a starting rule of the child workflow that specifies a condition under which execution of the child workflow begins; and storing, in a memory, a representation of the child workflow as a reference to the parent workflow and differences between the child workflow and the parent workflow, wherein the differences include the starting rule and the modified state or transition.

  • Patent number: 12271739
    Abstract: A system could include persistent storage containing application components. A plurality of software applications could be installed on the system. The software applications could be respectively associated context records that include references to application components that provide some behavior or data for the software applications. The system could also include processors configured to perform operations. The operations could include receiving a request to generate a topology map for a software application and identifying, based on a context record for the software application, a subset of application components that provide some behavior or data for the software application. The operations could further include determining relationship types between pairs of application components and generating a topology map for the software application.

  • Patent number: 11868593
    Abstract: An embodiment may involve a definition of a process, wherein the process is referenced by a parent entry, wherein the process includes a set of stages, wherein the stages in the set of stages are respectively associated with sets of activities, and wherein a process design application was used to define the process. The embodiment may also include one or more processors configured to: (i) receive a reference to the parent entry; (ii) identify a transformer class associated with the process design application, wherein the transformer class converts output in a first configuration related to the process design application to input in a second configuration; (iii) receive, from the transformer class, data related to the process in the second configuration; and (iv) generate a graphical user interface that displays the process and the set of stages in a hierarchical arrangement.

  • Patent number: 11295260
    Abstract: A first workflow item grouping container and a second workflow item grouping container are a part of a collection of workflow item grouping containers organizing an end-to-end multi-process workflow solution. An identification and execution condition of the first workflow item grouping container and an identification and execution condition of the second workflow item grouping container are received. A specification of one or more workflow items belonging to the first workflow item grouping container and a specification of one or more workflow items belonging to the second workflow item grouping container are received. Each of the one or more workflow items belonging to the first and second workflow item grouping containers has an individually configurable execution condition and corresponds to a different individual activity of the end-to-end multi-process workflow solution.

  • Patent number: 11288611
    Abstract: A user modifiable user interface representation of a first workflow item grouping container and a second workflow item grouping container are provided. The first and second item grouping containers are part of a collection of workflow item grouping containers organizing a design of an end-to-end multi-process workflow solution. An interactive user interface representation of a first workflow item belonging to the first workflow item grouping container and a second workflow item belonging to the second workflow item grouping container are provided. The first and second workflow items correspond to different individual activities of the end-to-end multi-process workflow solution. A user is able to interact with the interactive user interface representation of the first workflow item to modify a workflow property of the first workflow item and to interact with the interactive user interface representation of the second workflow item to modify a workflow property of the second workflow item.
