Resolving resource contentions

Systems and methods for adding services to an application platform via an extension platform coupled to the application platform. The application platform runs in a first operation system process and provides a number of resources. The extension platform is implemented in a second operation system process and communicates with the application platforms via standard inter-process communication protocols. The extension platform provides an environment to dynamically model and host application services. A resource abstraction layer provides the extension platform with access to the resources provided at the application platform. The resources are utilized by the extension platform to design and to execute the application services. The application services hosted in the extension platform are centrally managed and administered from the application platform via exposed interfaces.

Adding services to application platform via extension

The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for reducing transaction load for process instance completion. One process includes identifying an end event triggered by an initial token of a process instance, determining a type of the end event, performing a search for additional tokens associated with the process instance that are distinct from the initial token, and performing a termination action based on the type of end event and a number of additional tokens identified in the search. The end event type may be non-terminating or terminating, and the end event type can determine the termination action to be performed. If the end event is non-terminating, then the termination action includes joining each finalization action for each process instance variable to a completion transaction if no additional tokens are found and executing the completion transaction to terminate the process instance.

Transaction load reduction for process completion

Process artifacts and elements in a business process model, such as a Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) compliant model, may be analyzed, converted into component model building blocks for developing applications, and enriched with technical metadata. The component model building blocks may be Service Component Architecture (SCA) Assembly Model building blocks, which may include artifacts, components, composites, and other elements. The building blocks may be structured in an output file, which may be a Simple Capabilities Description Language (SCDL) file, according to the Service Component Architecture (SCA) Assembly Model based on an order provided in the business process model. Business process model elements may be mapped to corresponding component model building blocks, such as SCA artifacts, composites, or components, through a lookup table or database.
