A processor determines that a requested action is a failed action. The processor determines that the failed action is a valid action. The processor determines that the failed action is not properly configured. The processor generates a reconfigured action by reconfiguring the failed action. The reconfiguration of the failed action includes one or both of a) changing the preconditions of the failed action, or b) creating a recovery path in addition to the failed action.

Autonomous reconfiguration of a failed user action

A method, system and computer program product for configuring active resource nodes in a distributed computing system controlled by an administrative control module. The method includes identifying a first configuration of active resource nodes having at least two or more active resource nodes and detecting a modification of a link representing at least one connection between the active resource nodes. In response to detecting the modification of the link, a routing policy table is retrieved and a second configuration of the active resource nodes are identified from the routing policy table including at least one new connection between the two or more active resource nodes. The distributed computing system is triggered to configure the two or more active resource nodes according to the second configuration and to establish the at least one new connection between the two or more active resource nodes.

Rerouting services using routing policies in a multiple resource node system

Automating changes to a composite workflow using user-defined workflow policies can begin with the detection of a state change by a workflow policy handler for a record of an instance of a composite workflow running within a composite workflow system. User-defined workflow policies can be identified for the composite workflow in which the change was detected. A user-defined workflow policy can define policy actions to be performed if policy conditions are satisfied. For each identified user-defined workflow policy, the applicability to the instance of the composite workflow can be determined. If an identified user-defined workflow policy is determined to be applicable, the policy actions can be automatically performed on the instance of the composite workflow.
