Implementation method and system for universal business process management interfaces

Abstract

The invention provides an implementation method and system for universal business process management interfaces, which are beneficial to promoting the software productization concerned by software integrators, and are also beneficial to meeting the switching requirements on users for process management products. The implementation method is characterized by comprising the following steps of: working out a business model of a business process, extracting a universal API (application program interface) for the business process management according to a business model, and enabling the universal API to receive the invocation of a business system; and performing secondary packaging on a special API of a selected process management product, and enabling the bottom layer of the special API to shield the business system to ensure that the business system cannot directly invoke the special API, but invokes the universal API so as to realize decoupling between the business system and the process management product.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an application program interface API technology between a business system and a process management product, in particular to a method and a system for realizing a general business process management interface. The API is an English abbreviation for Application Programming Interface, which is commonly used in this field. Background technique [0002] Business process is the process of discretizing specific business into a series of sequential, organized and logical business nodes or tasks, and expresses and automatically calculates them with an appropriate model in the computer. It belongs to computer-supported collaborative work (Computer Supported Cooperative Work, part of CSCW). The significance of business process to an enterprise is not only a description of the key business of the enterprise; it also has a guiding significance for the business operation of the enterprise. A series of changes. The purpose of this optimiz...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Although various software integrators have successfully implemented many customers' business systems using this development model, this integration method makes the business system and process management products tightly coupled together, and both developers and customers clearly feel this integration method It will bring many problems to future system maintenance and expansion:

Therefore, tightly coupling business systems and process management products is obviously not conducive to the productization of the system.

[0006] 2. For software integrators, each development of a business system for different process products requires developers to spend a lot of energy on researching the use of specific process management product APIs, which will have a relatively large impact on the project cycle and personnel costs

[0007] 3. For customers, they are faced with the problem of selecting process management products. When the existing process management products cannot meet the needs, it will also cost a lot to replace the process management products
