Methods and systems for managing integration of a heterogeneous application landscape are disclosed. The landscape is defined by one or more business process. A business process management system includes an integration server connected between two or more applications in the landscape. The integration server includes a business process engine configured to execute one or more business processes that define message-based interactions between the two or more applications. The business process management system further includes a runtime engine, under direction of the business process engine, for executing one or more messaging services on the message-based interactions between the two or more applications.

In a network routing system, a control blade provides for redundancy and failover of virtual routers (VRs) instantiated by objects running on processing engines of the several virtual routing engines (VREs). When the control blade detects a failure of one processing engines, it may identify the virtual private networks (VPNs) and/or VRs operating on the failed processing engine. The control blade identifies a set of command lines corresponding with the identified VPNs and VRs, and replays the set of command lines with an identity of a new processing engine to recreate the identified VPNs and VRs on the new processing engine.

In the implementation of a production process, event data corresponding to a parent event that has triggered an executable business process that has failed is logged. The event data is displayed to a user. Responsive to input from the user, a child event based on the event data is generated, and the child event is submitted to a process engine to initiate re-execution of the executable business process in accordance with the child event.

Systems and methods for recreating a copy of a previously filed tax document of a user is provide. In exemplary embodiments, an order processing engine receives a user's order request for a copy of a previously filed tax document. The order request is processed with an agency, such as the IRS. A tax transcript is downloaded from the agency. Subsequently, values from the tax transcript are mapped into one or more templates to recreate the filed tax document. The recreated tax document is then delivered to the user.

A system and method for using session beans to integrate business processes. The system includes a process engine which includes a workflow and a plug-in manager. The system further allows for creating session beans, packaging the session beans for deployment, and deploying the session beans to the process engine as a plug-in, to dynamically modify the workflow. The plug-in manager handles event notifications to and from the deployed session beans at runtime, according to the workflow. In this manner, the environment allows for easy development of software applications that are intended to communicate with business processes and external components.

A internet based method and apparatus is described from automatically processing a captured digital image taken by a smart device at a fixed-location, mobile or virtual event, and synchronizing the combination of that captured primary image with a secondary image, be it a picture frame, or a watermark to create a combined media image. If desired, the combined image may also contain an audio file. Once combined, the image may be stored for later viewing, and/or automatically returned to the user of the smart device or the PC of the user who captured the primary image, forwarded to an online print service website, posted to a photo sharing website, and/or forwarded to a distribution list. The automated post processing of said captured images is handled by a process engine hosted at an Application Provider's website, the process engine containing instructions for the media combining and metadata tagging of said images.

The invented software system and method is an easy-to-use, browser-based solution, providing casual business computer users the ability to create, modify, and monitor business processes, much like spreadsheet software allows users to quickly complete complex math calculations. It is built on a “fill in the table” interface so any user can create a customized process within minutes, without having to understand how to flow chart or program a computer. Automatic alerts regarding work to be done, sent through a normal email client, are included as part of the product's feature set as well as a chronological history and a variety of default reports. Processes are easy to set up, deploy, and control, and participation in those processes is simple and fast. Any process can be immediately launched and is saved as a template for later use or modification. Templates can be shared or sold to other users, as well. Briefly, the invented system and method includes software running on a server accessible via a network, e.g. a local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN) such as the world-wide web by subscribing and logged on one or more proximate (centralized) or remote (distributed) users with laptops, desktops or workstations. The software features a friendly user interface with toolboxes, menus and buttons for patterned templating of processes and tasks and for management and oversight of the same. Process authors can construct templated processes in a table-drive manner that is parse-able by a process compiler and executable by a process engine. Process users can create task assignees chosen at will or from their own address books. Task assignees can use the software to follow optionally check-listed task steps and start/stop dates and times can be monitored and logged. Finally, reports can be generated. E-mail is the preferred conveyance of task-notification messages among various users of the invented software.

A document architecture system includes an intelligent document processing engine that can receive raw data streamed from external data source(s), analyze the raw data to identify triggering events, apply rules to the triggering events identified, break down the raw data accordingly, and generating messages in an internal format to represent the pieces of data without any formatting or layout information. The messages can be augmented with custom metadata and stored as fragments that reference, but that do not physically incorporate, the messages. The stored fragments can be used by the document process engine to intelligently render documents and versions thereof. The messages and fragments are in internal formats under control of the document architecture system. The renditions are in final formats that can be delivered, for instance, via an output connector to various output delivery channels.

The present invention supports the design of a process using a drawing surface that specifies the process with underlying programmatic constructs. In response to a user's command, a construct corresponding to a shape is selected from a palette and inserted onto a design region that shows the specified process. The command is verified to be consistent with semantics of an associated process type. If so, a visual image of the specified process is updated. If not, an indicator is generated in a proximity of a relevant portion of the visual image in order to help the user resolve the inconsistency. The user is able to correct errors before generating computer-executable instructions from a high-level code emission. Computer-executable instructions are also generated from high-level code emission. A process engine is cognizant of the associated high-level lines of code and an infrastructure knowledge base while executing the computer-executable instructions.

The example embodiments disclosed herein relate to application integration techniques built around the publish-and-subscribe model (or one of its variants). In certain example embodiments, application integration techniques for managing and/or monitoring a business process comprising a plurality of activities, events, and/or objects located in at least one resource external to the application integration system and a process engine thereof are provided. During design time, by introspecting the business object types involved in the activities, events, and/or objects of the at least one resource, potential state changes may be identified, and an integrative linkage may be established, with the integrative linkage being managed and maintained by a process monitoring agent (PMA). During runtime, the PMA may “listen” to the business object state changes in the at least one external resource and notify the local process engine accordingly.
