20100121668 | AUTOMATED COMPLIANCE CHECKING FOR PROCESS INSTANCE MIGRATION - A business process workflow editorial data processing system can be provided. The system can include a workflow management system such as a BPEL process editing tool, and a repository of templates each template defining a process. At least two of the templates can include a new template and an existing template for an executing instance of a business process. The system also can include compliance checking logic coupled to the workflow management system. The logic can include program code enabled to derive a log of changes between the new template and the existing template based upon added and removed activities and links between activities in the executing process instance, to group the changes in the log according to common activities, to determine a wavefront for the executing process instance, and to migrate the executing process instance to the new template only if the wavefront does not cross any of the groups of the changes, but otherwise rejecting a migration of the process instance to the new template. | 05-13-2010 |
20100122251 | REALIZING JUMPS IN AN EXECUTING PROCESS INSTANCE - A method for realizing jumps in an executing process instance can be provided. The method can include suspending an executing process instance, determining a current wavefront for the process instance and computing both a positive wavefront difference for a jump target relative to the current wavefront and also a negative wavefront difference for the jump target relative to the current wavefront. The method also can include removing activities from consideration in the process instance and also adding activities for consideration in the process instance both according to the computed positive wavefront difference and the negative wavefront difference, creating missing links for the added activities, and resuming executing of the process instance at the jump target. | 05-13-2010 |
20120330703 | MIGRATING BUSINESS PROCESS INSTANCES - Migration of a business process instance derived from a business process model having compensation logic is provided. A new business process version of the business process model is modeled. The business process model is statically analyzed to create a static process control flow. A potential compensation control flow is derived based on the business process instance. Changes between the new business process version and a previous business process version of the business process model are identified. The identified changes are walked to separate and group changes related to the compensation logic and changes related to a normal control flow of the business process model into change groups. The business process instance is migrated based on migration conditions which are determined based on the change groups. | 12-27-2012 |
20130007752 | MIGRATION OF PROCESS INSTANCES - For migrating process instances, first input information describing changes between a first process template and a second process template is received. Second input information describing grouping of said changes is also received. A set of combinations of the first process template and the second process template is determined by applying the changes to the first process template in complete groups as defined by the second input information. | 01-03-2013 |
20130125128 | REALIZING JUMPS IN AN EXECUTING PROCESS INSTANCE - A method for realizing jumps in an executing process instance can be provided. The method can include suspending an executing process instance, determining a current wavefront for the process instance and computing both a positive wavefront difference for a jump target relative to the current wavefront and also a negative wavefront difference for the jump target relative to the current wavefront. The method also can include removing activities from consideration in the process instance and also adding activities for consideration in the process instance both according to the computed positive wavefront difference and the negative wavefront difference, creating missing links for the added activities, and resuming executing of the process instance at the jump target. | 05-16-2013 |
20150128143 | REALIZING JUMPS IN AN EXECUTING PROCESS INSTANCE - A method for realizing jumps in an executing process instance can be provided. The method can include suspending an executing process instance, determining a current wavefront for the process instance and computing both a positive wavefront difference for a jump target relative to the current wavefront and also a negative wavefront difference for the jump target relative to the current wavefront. The method also can include removing activities from consideration in the process instance and also adding activities for consideration in the process instance both according to the computed positive wavefront difference and the negative wavefront difference, creating missing links for the added activities, and resuming executing of the process instance at the jump target. | 05-07-2015 |
