Workflow managing method and system

Abstract

The invention provides a workflow managing method and system, which are used for improving processing efficiency and throughput of the system through using an asynchronous flow computing mechanism. The system comprises a flow defining module, a flow database, a workflow executing and servicing module and a task queue managing module, wherein the flow defining module is used for setting a real-time constraint attribute for each task in a workflow and converting the workflow into a flow chart which is stored in a flow defining table in the flow database in a relationship type data structure; the workflow executing and servicing module is used for storing tasks submitted by users in a work task table in the flow database and returning information which indicates whether submission is successful or not to the users; a next task is generated through carrying out routing computation on a task to be computed according to data in the flow defining table; and the task queue managing module is used for constructing more than one task queue with chain structures in a memory for being called by the users according to activity definition, mechanism information and role information of the generated task.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to computer information processing technology, and more specifically, to a workflow management method and system thereof. Background technique [0002] Workflow technology originated from the research in the field of office automation in the mid-1970s. With the popularization and promotion of personal computers and network technology, and the increasing improvement of information construction, the research and development of workflow technology has entered a new stage. upsurge. In August 1993, the first industrial organization for workflow technology standardization - Workflow Management Coalition (WFMC) was established. In 1994, the Workflow Management Alliance released a workflow reference model for interoperability between workflow management systems, and successively formulated a series of industrial standards. At the same time, academic research on workflow technology is also very active, and many prototype systems ...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] When the user submits a work item (i.e., a task) to the process operator, the process operator saves the submitted data to the process database, starts the routing calculation strategy to generate the next work item, and then returns information about whether the submission is successful or not to the user , the user is in a waiting state during this process and cannot perform other operations, resulting in low system processing efficiency and throughput

[0006] The business process management system used in the existing process bank platform solution is developed for the general process in enterprise activities, and none of them has been optimized for the real-time characteristics of the bank's background business: it is impossible to add real-time information to the business process. However, it is impossible to dynamically modify the priority of the process during process execution so as to dynamically adjust the running order of the process according to actual needs.

Therefore, the business process processing system in the existing process bank platform cannot meet the needs of bank background business automation processing
