Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for receiving, by a software system, a workflow model that defines a workflow executed by the software system, the workflow model provided as a file prior to execution of the workflow and including a control flow, during execution of the workflow by the software system, providing a first portion of a workflow form based on the control flow, the workflow form corresponding to a first activity of the workflow and the first portion including one or more interface elements enabling a user to provide user input to the software system during execution of the workflow to progress the workflow within the software system, displaying the workflow form to the user as a user interface including the first portion, and receiving, by the software system, user input that is provided through an interface element of the one or more interface elements of the first portion.

Abstract: Techniques are described for refining system-aided user determination in the current modeling context. At runtime, operations defined in a listing of workflow steps associated with a current workflow are executed. Each step is associated with a role that is associated with the execution of the step. To execute the operations, a workflow step from the listing of workflow steps is identified. Then whether the role associated with the workflow step is a reassigned role is determined based on a reassignment indicator that is persisted in a memory associated with the role. If the role is not associated with a reassignment indicator, the workflow step is executed using a first set of users associated with the role. Otherwise, the workflow step is executed using a second set of users identified as a reassigned set of users. At design time, at least one role is reassigned via a user interface.

Abstract: A workflow management system platform may access electronic data records in a scenario database, including, for each of a plurality of scenarios, a scenario identifier and a set of associated workflow identifiers. Electronic data records in a workflow database may also be accessed, including, for each of a plurality of workflows, a workflow identifier, a valid from date, a valid to date, and an order value. Some embodiments may then automatically display information about the plurality of scenarios. For example, for each workflow associated with a scenario, a workflow area may be displayed extending from a start location associated with the workflow's valid from date on the graphical timeline to an end location associated with the workflow's valid to date on the graphical timeline. According to some embodiments, workflow areas within a scenario may be presented in a sequence in accordance with order values.

Abstract: A system and method for modeling service endpoints of BPMN processes is disclosed. The process is modeled using a BPMN modeling tool. A service endpoint is modeled using the BPMN modeling tool. A uniform resource locator (URL) is generated for the service endpoint, the URL being a web-based address under which a service represented by the process can be called by a business process application. The service endpoint is linked to the process, and then service-provisioned to be executed in the BPMN domain.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a computer implemented method comprises obtaining, by operation of a hardware processor, a data model including structured data items for a business scenario, wherein executing an instance of the business scenario involves contributions of two or more computer systems, generating an instance of the business scenario, obtaining a modification of one or more data items of the data model relevant for a status of the business scenario, triggered by the modification of one or more data items of the data model, determining that the received modification is relevant for a status of the business scenario, triggered by the modification of the one or more data items of the data model, generating an event data item being indicative of a status of the business scenario and storing the event data item in a database object to be provided to a user using a user interface of a business scenario monitoring application.

Abstract: A system and method for morphing entities in metamodel-based business process model and notation (BPMN) tools is disclosed. A command is received for an entity to be morphed from a first non-abstract entity type to a second non-abstract entity type. A modeling infrastructure (MOIN) returns all non-abstract sub-types or siblings of the entity based on an inheritance hierarchy in a metamodel associated with the entity. The second non-abstract entity type is determined from the non-abstract sub-types or siblings of the entity, and the selected entity is morphed from the first non-abstract entity type to the second non-abstract entity type.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods, systems, and computer program products for correlating messages. The method can include identifying a message received at an end point associated with executing business process instances. Attributes of the message are identified. The message can be associated with a defined set of relevant attributes associated with a correlation condition of business process instances associated with the end point. A message context fingerprint hash calculated using the attributes of the identified message is generated. The message context fingerprint hash is uniquely associated with the identified message and compared to a number of business process instance fingerprint hashes. The business process instance fingerprint hashes can be generated from a number of business process instance associated with the end point.

Abstract: A system and method for integrating enterprise services repository (ESR) events into business process model and notation (BPMN) processes are disclosed. An instance of a message event definition is created based on an ESR event imported into a modeling infrastructure and which can be used as an event of a BPMN process modeled using the modeling infrastructure. The instance of the message event definition is provided as a trigger of the event of the BPMN process for a business process application. The instance of the message event definition is associated with an instance of the event of the BPMN process to link the enterprise service repository event to the BPMN process.

Abstract: This disclosure provides various embodiments for modeling a first business process as a sub-process of a second business process, the first business process less than fully compatible with a particular business process management system. The first business process is compatible with a first system adapted to execute the first business process. The first business process is identified and a user input received requesting modeling of the first business process as a sub-process of the second business process. A modeled sub-process is generated including a reference to the first system, callable from the modeled sub-process, and an interface definition defining an interface between the modeled sub-process and the first system. A modeled interface between a model of the second business process and the modeled sub-process is generated defining inputs and outputs between first and second business processes. In some aspects, the modeled sub-process can be deployed in a runtime environment.
