20110191383 | ORCHESTRATION OF BUSINESS PROCESSES USING TEMPLATES - 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. | 08-04-2011 |
20110218813 | CORRELATING AND MAPPING ORIGINAL ORDERS WITH NEW ORDERS FOR ADJUSTING LONG RUNNING ORDER MANAGEMENT FULFILLMENT PROCESSES - 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. | 09-08-2011 |
20110218842 | DISTRIBUTED ORDER ORCHESTRATION SYSTEM WITH RULES ENGINE - 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. | 09-08-2011 |
20110218921 | NOTIFY/INQUIRE FULFILLMENT SYSTEMS BEFORE PROCESSING CHANGE REQUESTS FOR ADJUSTING LONG RUNNING ORDER MANAGEMENT FULFILLMENT PROCESSES IN A DISTRIBUTED ORDER ORCHESTRATION SYSTEM - A computer-readable medium, computer-implemented method, and system are provided. In one embodiment, an executable process is executed, and a change request is received. A fulfillment system is inquired with as to whether the fulfillment system will accept the change request. | 09-08-2011 |
20110218922 | COST OF CHANGE FOR ADJUSTING LONG RUNNING ORDER MANAGEMENT FULFILLMENT PROCESSES FOR A DISTRIBUTED ORDER ORCHESTRATION SYTEM - 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. | 09-08-2011 |
20110218923 | TASK LAYER SERVICE PATTERNS FOR ADJUSTING LONG RUNNING ORDER MANAGEMENT FULFILLMENT PROCESSES FOR A DISTRIBUTED ORDER ORCHESTRATION SYSTEM - A computer-readable medium, computer-implemented method, and system are provided. In one embodiment, a task layer service pattern is created, and a task layer service is created from the task layer service pattern. The task layer service is assigned to a step of an executable process, and the step of the executable process is executed. The task layer service is executed in order to invoke a fulfillment service. | 09-08-2011 |
20110218924 | DISTRIBUTED ORDER ORCHESTRATION SYSTEM FOR ADJUSTING LONG RUNNING ORDER MANAGEMENT FULFILLMENT PROCESSES WITH DELTA ATTRIBUTES - 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. | 09-08-2011 |
20110218925 | CHANGE MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK IN DISTRIBUTED ORDER ORCHESTRATION SYSTEM - A computer-readable medium, computer-implemented method, and system are provided. In one embodiment, an original executable process is executed in a regular mode. When a change request is received, the original executable process is stopped, and a new executable process is created. The new executable process is then executed in a change mode. | 09-08-2011 |
20110218926 | SAVING ORDER PROCESS STATE FOR ADJUSTING LONG RUNNING ORDER MANAGEMENT FULFILLMENT PROCESSES IN A DISTRIBUTED ORDER ORCHESTRATION SYSTEM - A computer-readable medium, computer-implemented method, and system are provided to save a state of an executable process. In one embodiment, an executable process is executed. At a milestone, a state of the executable process is saved. Subsequently, the executable process continues to be executed. | 09-08-2011 |
20110218927 | 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 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. | 09-08-2011 |
20110219218 | DISTRIBUTED ORDER ORCHESTRATION SYSTEM WITH ROLLBACK CHECKPOINTS FOR ADJUSTING LONG RUNNING ORDER MANAGEMENT FULFILLMENT PROCESSES - 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. | 09-08-2011 |
20120124584 | Event-Based Orchestration in Distributed Order Orchestration System - 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. | 05-17-2012 |
