Event processing techniques for updating a database in real time based on events in a continuous event stream are disclosed. The techniques can update the database to incorporate information from thousands of received events per second. The events can include metrics measuring milestones for an organizational process defined by a user. Moreover, multiple streams can include metrics from many tenants concurrently. The techniques include receiving, from a first user device, information identifying a group identifier for a first action object. The techniques then include assigning the identifier to the first action object and to at least one other action object. The techniques then include transmitting, to a service provider, data identifying the assignment of the group identifier, receiving second information identifying events processed by the service provider, identifying events corresponding to the identifier, and generating a user interface configured to present elements corresponding to the identified events.

Techniques for configuring workflow event processing and identifier federation

Event processing techniques for updating a database in real time based on events in a continuous event stream are disclosed. The techniques can update the database to incorporate information from thousands of received events per second. The events can include metrics measuring milestones for an organizational process defined by a user. Moreover, multiple streams can include metrics from many tenants concurrently. The techniques include receiving a plurality of events corresponding to a time interval and identifying that two events share a value of a key attribute. The techniques then include causing to be generated an in-memory combined database record comprising a combination of first and second attribute information from the two events and the value of the key attribute. In response to a trigger signal, the techniques include transmitting a single message, based at least in part on the combined database record, to update the database.

Techniques for in-memory stitching

A system and method for facilitating execution of a portion of a process via a subprocess. An example method includes encapsulating process logic of a portion of a parent process via the subprocess, wherein the parent process is encoded via a business process language characterized by process lifecycle management functionality; using an instance of a call activity in a scope of the parent process or subprocess to activate the subprocess, yielding a called subprocess in response thereto; and employing a business process runtime engine to adjust a scope of the subprocess to inherit the scope of the process used to call the subprocess, thereby enabling the process lifecycle management functionality to govern a lifecycle of the subprocess. In a more specific embodiment, the business process language includes standard Business Prosecution Execution Language (BPEL); the parent process represents a business process; and the subprocess includes a standalone subprocess.

Execution semantics for sub-processes in BPEL

Embodiments of the present invention provide for supporting definition of services in the SOA using templates for definition of processes, tasks, and/or components and wizards associated to the templates for guiding users in defining values to variables in the templates. Embodiments of the present invention provide developers with a guided flow for an integration project as well as guidance from the functional decomposition from the solution architect within an integrated development environment. Embodiments provide pre-built templates that may also contain wizard based interfaces to help the developers to create services that follow best-practices and include necessary plumbing tasks. Embodiments described herein provide the ability to create and save BPEL projects and scopes as templates to be reused in later projects and the application of these template features with wizard interfaces and a project overview/checklist model to provide developer guidance and assistance in creating the service that follows best-practices.

Integration project center

A system and method for facilitating reuse of a portion of process logic by different processes. An example method includes providing a subprocess that is adapted to perform the process logic in a file accessible to a composite system, wherein the subprocess is adapted to be called by a first parent process via a subprocess extension to a business process language employed to encode the first parent process; using a call activity defined as part of the subprocess extension, and included in a scope of the first parent process to facilitate access to functionality of the subprocess by the parent process; and employing a business process engine to facilitate instantiating the subprocess, resulting in an instantiated subprocess in response thereto; and using a second parent process to share use of the instantiated subprocess with the first parent process.

Using sub-processes across business processes in different composites

A system and method for enabling reuse of a portion of a business process. An example method includes employing a business process language to facilitate accessing a definition of a subprocess characterizing the process logic, wherein the definition indicates one or more parameters to be used by the subprocess to implement a task specified by the process logic; and employing the definition to facilitate: using one or more variables of a parent process as one or more arguments that are passed to an instantiated version of the subprocess, and mapping the one or more arguments to the one or more parameters. In a more specific embodiment, the example method further includes characterizing a behavior of the subprocess via one or more dynamic scoping rules. The business process language includes a version of Business Process Execution Language (BPEL), and a BPEL extension activity facilitates defining the subprocess.
