Device for supporting on-demand customization and operation of SaaS application process

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of SaaS platform operation, and discloses a device for supporting on-demand customization and operation of an SaaS application process, which comprises a tenant perception agent module, a process description module, a process data mapping module, an execution manager and an original workflow engine, the execution manager comprises a process deployment component, a process creation component and a process operation component. According to the device supporting on-demand customization and operation of the SaaS application process, in the SaaS mode, software serves as a service to be provided for a user by a software service operator, essential regression of the software is achieved, the user only uses a service mechanism which is not owned, the cost and risk problems of an enterprise on an informatization road are solved, and the development of the enterprise is facilitated. According to the method, access and driving of the process variables of the business process are achieved, mapping and isolation of the multi-tenant process are achieved, multiple tenants are supported to share one process engine, the tenant processes do not interfere with one another, software resources are fully utilized, and meanwhile the deployment cost and the maintenance cost of an enterprise are reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of SaaS platform operation, in particular to a device supporting on-demand customization and operation of SaaS application processes. Background technique [0002] SaaS defines a new delivery method, which makes software further return to the essence of service. SaaS application software can uniformly deploy application software on its own server, and sell required application software services to manufacturers through the Internet according to actual work needs. The amount and duration of the services sold are charged to customers, and services are provided through the Internet. SaaS services are usually based on a set of standard software systems to provide services to different customers (also known as tenants), which requires SaaS services to support data between different tenants. Isolation from configuration, so as to ensure the security and privacy of each tenant's data, as well as the user's individu...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, there are successful examples of workflow-based SaaS application methods at home and abroad, such as the E-Power business launched by China Telecom and China Netcom. The SaaS model uses the characteristics of the Internet to help service providers quickly promote services and allow more users Using it saves social resources and allows service providers to devote more energy to the development of business logic. Regarding the SaaS application method of workflow, Milinda Pathirage proposed a framework for business process execution under multi-tenancy. In the case of modifying the workflow in the same engine instance, a workflow engine that supports multi-tenants to run its workflow is designed and implemented. Bin Wu proposed a SaaS-oriented business process management reference model. According to the four maturity models of the SaaS model Four reference models of SWfMSs are proposed respectively, and a specific BWfMSs is implemented: WAAS. The workflow is usually designed according to the established workflow. This way caters to the exclusive service of the system, that is, one system only serves one user, but Such a development model cannot meet the multi-tenancy requirements in the SaaS environment
