A computer-readable medium, computer-implemented method, and system are provided. In one embodiment, a compensation pattern is defined for a step of an executable process, and the step of the executable process is executed. A change request is received, and, based on the change request, the compensation pattern is applied to the step of the executable process.

Compensation patterns for adjusting long running order management fulfillment processes in an distributed order orchestration system

A computer-readable medium, computer-implemented method, and system are provided. In one embodiment, a business process is created, and a cost of change value for the business process is defined. An executable process that is generated from the business process is executed, and a change request is received. It is determined whether the cost of change value is greater than a threshold value, and, when the cost of change value is not greater than the threshold value, the change request is initiated.

A method of pausing a plurality of service-oriented application (SOA) instances may include receiving, from an instance of an SOA entering a pause state, an initiation message. The initiation message may include an exit criterion that identifies a business condition that must be satisfied before the instance of the SOA exits the pause state. The method may also include receiving a notification from an event producer, the notification comprising a status of a business event and determining whether the status of the business event satisfies the business condition of the exit criterion. The method may additionally include sending, in response to a determination that the status of the business event satisfies the business condition of the exit criterion, an indication to the instance of the SOA that the business condition has been satisfied such that the instance of the SOA can exit the pause state.

Generic wait service: pausing and resuming a plurality of BPEL processes arranged in correlation sets by a central generic wait server

A computer-readable medium, computer-implemented method, and system are provided. In one embodiment, a rollback checkpoint for a step in an executable process is established, and the executable process is executed. A change request is received, and the step with the established rollback checkpoint is adjusted. Any subsequent steps of the executable process are also adjusted.

A computer-readable medium, computer-implemented method, and system are provided. In one embodiment, a business rule is created, and, when a rule set does not already exist, a rule set is already created. The business rule is added to the rule set, and the rule set is added to a rule dictionary of a business process. The rule dictionary is stored in a process definition table.

A distributed order orchestration system is provided that includes an event manager configured to generate and publish a set of events based on a process state and metadata stored in a database. A set of subscribers can consume the set of events, and each subscriber can execute a task based on the consumed event.

Event-based orchestration in distributed order orchestration system

A computer-readable medium, computer-implemented method, and system are provided. In one embodiment, one or more attributes as delta attributes are defined, and a new order object is determined which references an original order object. The original order object referenced by the new order object is determined and the new order object is compared with the original order object to determine one or more delta attributes. The one or more delta attributes are then stored.

A generic wait service for facilitating the pausing of service-oriented applications. In one set of embodiments, the generic wait service receives, from a paused instance of an application, an initiation message comprising a set of key attributes and an exit criterion. The key attributes uniquely identify the paused instance, and the exit criterion identifies a condition that should be satisfied before the paused instance is allowed to proceed. The generic wait service then receives, from one or more event producers, notification messages comprising status information (e.g., statuses of business events) and information correlating the notification messages to particular instances. If a notification message is determined to be correlated to the paused instance, the generic wait service evaluates the exit criterion based on the status information included in the message. If the exit criterion is satisfied, the paused instance is notified of the status information and is allowed to proceed.

Generic wait service: pausing a BPEL process

A computer-readable medium, computer-implemented method, and system are provided. In one embodiment, a new order header object and an original order header object that share a source order number are selected, and one or more new order line objects based on the new order header object are also selected. One or more original order line objects based on the original order header object are selected and the one or more new order line objects and the one or more original order line objects are compared. Where a new order line object and an original order line object match, a reference identity of the new order line object is set to an identity of an original order line object.

Correlating and mapping original orders with new orders for adjusting long running order management fulfillment processes

A distributed order orchestration system for orchestrating a business process of an order fulfillment system receives from an interface a definition of the business process and generates metadata from the definition. The system then generates an abstract syntax tree from the metadata. The tree includes a plurality of nodes and one or more of the nodes correspond to a predefined template. The system then generates executable orchestration code based on the abstract syntax tree and the predefined template.

Orchestration of business processes using templates

Techniques for dynamic service invocation and dynamic service adaptation in the context of a service oriented application. In one set of embodiments, a plurality of mediator services are introduced between the application and a plurality of actual services accessed by the application. The plurality of mediator services are configured to expose a common, abstract operation. At application runtime, the application determines, via a rules engine, a selection of a mediator service, and invokes the abstract operation by sending an invocation message to the selected mediator service. The selected mediator service transforms (i.e., adapts) the message into a format appropriate for invoking an actual operation exposed by an actual service associated with the selected mediator service. The selected mediator service then invokes the actual operation by sending the transformed message to the actual service.
