  • Patent number: 11327724
    Abstract: When flow data of flow is to be downloaded from a flow template manager to a flow editor, a system receives a first request to deploy an external service corresponding to an invoke node in the flow, and transmits a second request to deploy an external service identified by the first request to a service deployment manager associated with a site corresponding to the external service. The service deployment manager deploys an external service identified by the second request on a service execution platform at the site, and returns a response associated with an invocation destination end point corresponding to the external service. The system returns a first response associated with an invocation destination end point set to a property of the invoke node by the flow template manager to a transmission source of the first request.
