  • SIMPLIFYING DATA MAPPING IN COMPLEX FLOWS BY DEFINING SCHEMAS AT CONVERGENCE POINTS IN A WORKFLOW
    Publication number: 20230214260
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving, by a computing device, user input defining a workflow; receiving, by the computing device, information defining schemas at convergence points in the workflow; determining, by the computing device, a set of mapping parameters at outputs of nodes of the workflow based on the schemas; receiving, by the computing device, input values to the mapping parameters; storing, by the computing device, the input values to the mapping parameters in a structure corresponding to the schemas; and executing, by the computing device, the workflow based on the input values to the mapping parameters, wherein the executing includes invoking one or more applications residing on one or more application servers through application programming interface (API) calls.
    Type: Application
