  • Publication number: 20230333914
    Abstract: Executing and managing flow plans by performing at least the following: receiving an indication to initiate a task flow including a plurality of discrete but related operations at a customer instance environment of a cloud-based computing platform; obtaining a definition of the task flow identifying run-time requirements for each of the plurality of operations; determining a first execution environment for the first of the plurality of operations; initiating execution of the first operation in the first execution environment; and determining the proper execution environment for subsequent operations of the task flow until all operations of the task flow are complete. Factors, such as look-ahead optimization, environmental operational capabilities, access and security requirements, current load, future load, etc. may be considered when determining the proper execution environment for a given operation.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 11250202
    Abstract: A computing system includes a server. The server is communicatively coupled to a data repository and is configured to store a data in the data repository. The server is further configured to configure, via the data stream handler system, the data stream object to transmit a request to an external system. The server is additionally configured to configure, via the data stream handler system, the data stream object to capture a response from the external system, wherein the response comprises a paginated data set, a data stream, or a combination thereof, wherein creating the data stream object, configuring the data stream object to transmit the request, configuring the data stream object to capture the response, or a combination thereof, comprises using visual controls in lieu of entering text for a computer program.
