  • Publication number: 20230222089
    Abstract: Persistent storage may contain: (i) a database table containing entries, (ii) a definition of a communication endpoint of a remote system, and (iii) outbound flow processing. One or more processors may be configured to: detect a state change associated with a local entry in the database table; read, from the database table, a set of data representing the local entry; transform, using the outbound flow processing, the set of data into a format receivable by the remote system; create, for the set of data, a correlation record that contains a local correlation identifier, wherein the correlation record specifies the local entry; transmit, to the remote system, the set of data as transformed and the local correlation identifier; receive, from the remote system and for the set of data, a remote correlation identifier; add, to the correlation record, the remote correlation identifier; and write, to a correlation table, the correlation record.

  • Patent number: 11435983
    Abstract: Persistent storage may contain metadata actions and integration actions related to a remote service, wherein the remote service includes a remote service application programming interface (API) that provides access to structured data, and a metadata API that provides access to a schema of the structured data. Processors may be configured to: (i) generate and provide, for metadata action design graphical user interfaces (GUIs), options for specification of a metadata action, where the metadata action defines a metadata query to the metadata API, rules for parsing the schema, and a normalized format for the structured data; (ii) generate and provide, for integration action design GUIs, options for specification of an integration action, where the integration action defines a structured data query to the remote service API and an indication that the metadata action is to be used to represent a result of the structured data query in the normalized format.

  • Patent number: 11294711
    Abstract: A wait duration for a timer action element of a design-time flow plan is set. The wait duration being set relative to a specified data point of a table associated with the design-time flow plan. An operation associated with the timer action element executes at run-time to pause a flow for the wait duration prior to execution of an operation associated with an action element that is set to execute subsequent to the timer action element in the design-time flow plan. A specified timeframe for the timer action element of the design-time flow plan is set. The operation associated with the timer action element to pause the flow for the specified wait duration executes at run-time during the set specified timeframe. A natural language annotation associated with the timer action element of the design-time flow plan is displayed. The annotation presents the set duration and timeframe in a human-readable format.

  • Patent number: 10824948
    Abstract: A trigger element of a design-time flow plan is set so that the trigger element activates in response computing conditions being satisfied. A decision action element of the design-time flow plan executed at run-time in response to activation of the trigger element is set. The decision action element is implemented by a decision table that includes decision inputs and respective condition logic based on the decision inputs for each of a plurality of decision answers associated with the decision table. The decision table is external to the design-time flow plan. First and second decision answer action elements are defined to execute at run-time respectively when a decision answer served-up by the decision table corresponds to first and second decision answer paths in the design-time flow plan that are associated with a first and second one of the plurality of decision answers, respectively. The design-time flow plan is published.
