Methods and systems may be associated with a workflow management environment. An external data store may be associated with a persistence technology to contain operational data. A workflow management platform may include a running workflow and a workflow context associated with a persistence technology to contain application state information. A data access language component may be coupled between the running workflow and the external data store to access the operational data in a declarative way. The data access language component may, for example, copy the operational data transparently for a developer of the running workflow. The data access language component may then store the operational data transiently in a short-lived session and, after the operational data is processed by the running flow, release the operational data. According to some embodiments, changes made to the to the operational data are automatically played back to the external data store.

Extensible persistence hierarchies for workflow management systems

Consolidated lists of items provided by or generated based on data provided by multiple provider systems can be presented, at a requestor system, in a series of pages. Navigation between pages in the series of pages can occur with a re-querying of the multiple provider systems in a manner that correctly populates the requested new page to reflect up to date information about the items that belong on that page.

Multiprovider paging through a central hub system

In a first method, a developer mode is determined when a workflow template patch is received, and execution of new workflow instances is either blocked or permitted, or continued execution of workflow instances is forbidden. In a second method, parallelization of workflow execution is provided in an in-memory database management system. In a third method, after received user privilege information, database records associated with a workflow are determined and stored for use at workflow instance runtime. In a fourth method, artifacts used by a workflow are identified using a workflow template. When a command to execute a workflow instance is received, information is stored for generating instances of artifacts for use during execution of the workflow instance. In a fifth method, for a workflow template to be inactivated, the associated workflow template is suspended after currently executing workflow instances have completed and job executors have acknowledged a suspending state.

Developer mode for workflow systems steering patch deployment

The subject matter disclosed herein provides methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for task decomposition of a task of a workflow. In one aspect there is provided a method. The method may include selecting, for decomposition, a task from a workflow including a plurality of tasks; indicating whether one or more portions of information associated with the decomposed task are restricted; and providing, to another user interface, the decomposed task including the one or more restricted portions. The received command is executed at the database. Related systems, apparatus, methods, and/or articles are also described.

Task decomposition with data availability

Systems, methods, apparatus, and computer-readable media for managing business process messaging include receiving a business process message at a first node of multiple nodes in a distributed computing environment, the business process message comprising a message payload; correlating the business process message with a business process executing on one or more of the plurality of nodes in the distributed computing environment based on the message payload; identifying the one or more of the plurality of nodes in the distributed computing environment; providing the business process message to the identified one or more of the plurality of nodes; and mapping the message payload to the business process executing on the identified one or more of the plurality of nodes.

Managing business process messaging

A first element in a graphical modeling environment is selected by a user which results in a plurality of speed buttons adjacent to the first element being displayed. Such speed buttons define operations to be conducted on the first element in connection with a second element. After one of the displayed speed buttons is selected, it can be dragged to a display point. A second element is generated at the display point based on the selected displayed speed button which is linked to the first element. The link can be characterized by the operations defined by the selected displayed speed button. Related techniques, apparatus, systems, and products are also described.
