Background

With the rapid development of internet technology, corporate operation tends to be mature, and teams are increasingly strong. The need for synergy on-line is increasing.

For example, a larger version release iteration may relate to various roles such as a product manager, front-end and back-end development, testing, operation and maintenance, and the like. Different modules needing follow-up processing in different roles are different, operation time sequences are different, a great deal of energy is consumed in personnel scheduling and resource utilization, and a unified and cooperative operation platform is urgently needed. Certainly, different issuing processes are different, and a small issue may only need to be processed by one or two persons, namely two steps, and can be solved by oral and on-the-spot cooperation; while a large release may require tens of people, tens of steps, the way of the heap collaboration appears to be unwieldy. Therefore, various scenarios are supported, and meanwhile, the capabilities of configuration, scheduling, pushing, customization and the like are provided to adapt to changes. Workflow solutions have come to mind.

In order to make the technical means, the creation characteristics, the achievement purposes and the effects of the invention easy to understand, the invention is further explained below by combining the specific drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1, to declare a workflow, it is first necessary to configure flows, nodes, jumps, plug-ins, etc. at a configuration center.

1. Then, according to the defined flow, the required parameters are imported to instantiate a flow

2. After the instantiation is finished, the process can automatically render a corresponding workflow view

3. In the workflow view, the circulation operation can be carried out on the flow

4. The system circulation path realizes flow circulation, continuation or loop according to the configured jump.

5. In the process execution lifetime, such as process initialization, before node start, after node start, etc., the preset plug-in executes call according to the configured lifetime

At present, more workflows are excessively coupled with services, and aiming at the technical defects existing at present, the scheme provides a workflow solution method for releasing services through process independence. Once the flow is initiated, all flows are transferred to be taken over by the workflow system, and the business does not need to concern the internal operation mechanism. The flow logic completely adopts a workflow configuration mode, thereby thoroughly releasing the service pressure, avoiding repeated development and maintaining the overweight flow logic.

In order to achieve the above purpose, the invention provides the following scheme:

1. first abstract the basic structure:

1.1 defining procedures for differentiating individual individuals for each procedure

5. In order to realize the process operation, the plug-in is adopted by adopting the following method:

5.1 the above-mentioned 1.5 plug-ins are used as hooks for flow calling, optionally

The process can be a serial process or a parallel process, and in order to ensure the smooth execution of the process, specific conditions are required to be executed among the steps of the process nodes to support the smooth execution of the process, and the process is executed according to the sequence of the node configuration by default.

Examples of applications are: the network credit deduction and exemption penalty system scene relates to fund approval judgment rules, different approval objects, different approval steps and the like, and business approval operation is shown in figure 3. According to the design method of the workflow, different conditions are judged, skip rule conditions and node trends are configured, different steps are configured, and the configuration effect can be described by the following structural bodies:

this structure provides access reference usage for the defined interface generated by the configuration. The primary structure records flow information, a conditional rule list and a plug-in calling list respectively.

Key field design description:

flowId as process instance primary key for instance unique identification.

flowCode is used for flow scene differentiation.

nodeList is a list of individual nodes arranged in a set order, including node ID, node approver, node attribute list, etc

■ users node approver, can dynamically generate according to company organization structure when instantiating

■ role node approval role, for convenience, distinguished from users alone, this field only stores role name

■ fieldList node properties, abstract definition of html structure, including id, name, Chinese name, etc., for view presentation. Config is a json structure, e.g. option, read group, etc. of select

And 4, ruleList represents the execution condition among the nodes, when the instantiation is completed, the condition is true, and the execution flow from the frommonodee to the toNode takes effect. To ensure the consistency of the process, after instantiation, only one condition of the ruleLists can be true, and refer to FIGS. 4 and 5

The PluginList is used as a node calling plug-in, can be embedded in a plurality of nodes, and can be called and executed in different periods according to the flow execution time sequence

■ calltime can be enumerated as init, begin, end, final

■ sets init, final values, nodeId is set to null.

■ setting begin, end values, nodeId must be filled

config: the json structure and the keywords can be defined arbitrarily and can be followed by the user. Including without limitation setting url, executing command lines, and any executable calls.

The complete implementation scenario can be as shown in fig. 4 and 5.
