Description

Online task arranging method and online task arranging device

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to the field of computer technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for arranging online tasks.

Background

Orchestration is the automated configuration, management, and coordination of computer systems, applications, and services. Orchestration can help us manage complex tasks and workflows more easily. The arrangement system is used for automatically executing the defined operation flow only by defining the operation flow once. The orchestration system ensures that tasks can be executed in temporal order. An online task refers to a task that can return a result in real time through a series of calculations by API call. For example, a prediction scenario applicable to the model may be associated with a specific scenario policy to directly yield the prediction result. The editing body of the online task is a function, and the entry and exit of the online function need to be defined. At the present stage, the online task is developed only according to the product requirements and cannot be abstractly reused. When re-development is required, the workload still cannot be reduced. And the association relationship among different online modules is not clear. The dependency relationship cannot be seen intuitively.

Hereinafter, an online task orchestration method and an online task orchestration device according to the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to fig. 1 to 13.

Referring to FIG. 1, a task orchestration interface may be displayed. Here, the task orchestration interface may include a function list area and a task canvas area. The function list area may display one or more functions, each function representing a task unit that is reusable with minimal granularity for online orchestration. Here, the function is a function with minimum granularity obtained by reasonably splitting and abstracting an online scene task, so that one function is ensured to be responsible for completing only one processing logic as much as possible. According to an example embodiment of the present disclosure, the display of the function in the function list region may include a function ID or a function name. In addition, the display of functions may also include function types, such as JAR. The task canvas area may be used to lay out and display functions and logical relationships between the functions, such that an online task flow graph, which is laid out by at least one function in the function list area, may be displayed in the task canvas area. For example, a user may select a function from the task list area and drag the function to the task canvas area, and in response to the user operation, the task canvas area may display a function node corresponding to the function, which is represented as a function node in the online task flow graph. For another example, a user may concatenate a function node with a previous function node and/or a subsequent function node in the online task flow graph, and in response to the user operation, the task canvas area may display a line connecting the function node with the previous function node and/or the subsequent function node, representing a logical relationship between functions.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating a task orchestration interface according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating a task orchestration interface according to another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, the task orchestration interface of the online task flow patent-random may include a

function list area

201 or 301 on the left, a

task canvas area

202 or 302 in the middle, and a

task configuration area

203 or 303 on the right. In the

function list area

201 or 301, functions may be displayed or newly added. For example, the function may show, but is not limited to, a function ID (or name) and a function type, e.g., random JAR, etc. In the

task canvas area

202 or 302, an online task flow diagram may be displayed, for example, the online task flow diagram may include function nodes (e.g., random-pre, random-init, random) and logical relationships (e.g., wires) between the function nodes. The user may select a function from the

function list area

201 or 301 and drag the function into the

task canvas area

202 or 302, forming a function node. The user can edit the connection relationships between the various function nodes as desired in the

task canvas area

202 or 302. The running information of the online task flow is presented by default in the

task configuration area

203 or 303. The user can configure the running information of the online task flow in the

task configuration area

203 or 303. When a user clicks a certain function node in the online task flow diagram in the canvas area, the operation information of the function corresponding to the function node can be displayed by switching in the

task configuration area

203 or 303, and the user can also edit the operation information of the function corresponding to the function node in the

task configuration area

203 or 303. For example, in fig. 2, the running information of the online task flow path is shown in the task configuration area 203, including basic information (e.g., including, but not limited to, a unique identifier (key), a status, a creation time, an update time, a description, etc.), running configuration, and execution conditions. The user may edit at least one of the run configuration and the execution condition. For another example, in fig. 3, the motion information of the function random corresponding to the selected function node is shown in the task configuration area 303, and includes basic information (e.g., alias, unique identifier (key), type, class name, file, description) function return, parameter injection, dependency relationship, initialization configuration, runtime configuration execution condition, and lifecycle. The user may edit at least one of an alias, a unique identification (key), parameter injection, a dependency, an initialization configuration, a runtime configuration execution condition, a lifecycle.

Of course, the task orchestration interface according to the present disclosure is not limited to the task orchestration interfaces shown in fig. 2 and 3, and the task orchestration interface may be arranged according to any possible form and content.

Referring back to fig. 1, in step 102, a task arranging operation input by a user in the task arranging interface and used for arranging an online task flow by using the function displayed in the function list area is detected, and in response to the task arranging operation, an arranging result corresponding to the task arranging operation is displayed in the task canvas area, so that an online task flow diagram formed according to the task arranging operation is displayed in the task arranging area.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the task orchestration operation may include an operation of dragging the first function in the function list area into the task orchestration area. When the task orchestration operation is detected, a function node of the first function in the online task flow graph can be displayed in the task canvas area. That is, the first function corresponding to the first function becomes a function node in the online task flow graph.

According to an example embodiment of the present disclosure, the task orchestration operation may further include an operation of orchestrating a logical relationship of the first function with the pre-function and/or the post-function. When the task orchestration operation is detected, the logical relationship of the function node of the first function to other function nodes in the online task flow graph may be displayed in a task canvas area. For example, when an operation that a user connects a function node corresponding to the first function with a previous function node and/or a subsequent function node is detected, a connecting line connecting the function node corresponding to the first function with the previous function node and/or the subsequent function node may be displayed in the task canvas area, representing a logical relationship.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a user may perform a first configuration operation of configuring operation information of an online task flow corresponding to an online task flow diagram in a task configuration area. For example, before creating an online task flow programmed by a user according to an online task flow diagram, a first configuration operation input by the user in a task configuration area and used for configuring running information of the online task flow can be detected. And responding to the first configuration operation, and acquiring running information of the online task flow input by the user. The running information of the online task flow may include, but is not limited to, at least one of a running configuration, a life cycle, and an execution condition of the online task flow. Here, the run configuration may include trace forward and timeout configurations. The lifecycle may include function before execution (onStart), function complete, function failed execution (oneerror), function timeout, and onTimeout, which may be in the online task flow. The execution condition means that when the execution condition is satisfied by receiving the upstream operation result, the downstream function is executed. For example, the execution conditions may include receiving a runtime input parameter, a condition (onStart) under which the pre-processing logic may be executed, receiving a result of the function execution, a runtime input parameter, a condition (onComplete) under which the post-processing logic is executed, executing when there is an error, receiving a runtime input parameter, returning a function bottom entry result (oneerror), executing when there is a timeout, receiving a runtime input parameter, and returning a function bottom entry result (onetimeout).

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the user may further perform a second configuration operation of configuring the execution information of the function in the online task flow in the task configuration area. For example, a selection operation of a user on a function node in an online task flow diagram can be detected, in response to the selection operation, a configuration interface of a function corresponding to the selected function node is displayed in a task configuration area, a second configuration operation which is input by the user on the configuration interface and is used for configuring operation information of the function corresponding to the function node is detected, and in response to the second configuration operation, the operation information of the function corresponding to the function node input by the user is acquired. The operation information of the function in the online task flow may include, but is not limited to, at least one of an argument, a dependency relationship, an initial parameter, an operation parameter, a life cycle, an execution condition, and the like of the function. Here, the reference indicates the parameter received by the function. The dependency represents the dependency of the function with other functions. The initial parameters refer to initial parameters required before the function runs. The run parameters refer to the parameter lifecycle required by the function run, which may include function execution before (onStart), function execution complete (onComplete), function execution failure (oneerror), and function execution timeout (onTimeout) of the function. The execution condition means that when the execution condition is satisfied by receiving the upstream operation result, the downstream function is executed. For example, the execution conditions may include receiving a runtime input parameter, a condition (onStart) under which the pre-processing logic may be executed, receiving a result of the function execution, a runtime input parameter, a condition (onComplete) under which the post-processing logic is executed, executing when there is an error, receiving a runtime input parameter, returning a function bottom entry result (oneerror), executing when there is a timeout, receiving a runtime input parameter, and returning a function bottom entry result (onetimeout). For example, the random-pre function configures an execution condition, and only executes the random-pre when the execution condition is satisfied. For another example, the Random function configures all life cycles, including that before the function runs, the function runs are completed, the function runs fail, the function runs overtime, and it executes the corresponding bound function in different life cycles.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the running information of the online task flow may be displayed by default in the task orchestration interface. The user can view and edit the running information of the online task flow. The task orchestration operation may also include an operation to click on a certain function node in the online task flow graph of the task canvas area. And when the task arranging operation is detected, switching to display the running information of the function corresponding to the function node in the task arranging interface. The user can view and edit the operation information of the function corresponding to the function node.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, an online task flow diagram for orchestration completion may be formed according to at least one task editing operation. After the layout of the online task flow diagram is completed, the running information of the online task flow can be configured in the task layout interface.

At step 103, an online task flow programmed by a user may be created according to the online task flow graph. According to the exemplary embodiment of the disclosure, the task flow arranged by the user can be created according to the online task flow diagram and the running information of the online task flow and/or the running information of the function corresponding to the function node.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a function corresponding to a function node may be obtained according to the function node in the online task flow graph. The logical relationship between the functions corresponding to the function nodes can be determined according to the logical relationship between the function nodes. The operation logic of the online task flow can be determined according to the operation information of the online task flow. The operation logic of the function in the online task flow can be determined according to the operation information of the function in the online task flow. An online task flow orchestrated by a user may be created based on the obtained functions, the determined logical relationships between the functions, the determined operational logic of the online task flow, and the operational logic of the functions in the online task flow.

In addition, according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a user can reasonably split and abstract the online scene task into reusable functional units. Therefore, the user can freely create (or define) functions, and the created functions can be displayed in the function list area. Therefore, the method for arranging online tasks according to the present disclosure may further include: displaying a function creation interface; and detecting a function creation operation input in the function creation interface by a user, and creating a function in response to the function creation operation. For example, the function creation operation includes an operation of selecting a predetermined function package including one or more function units programmed in advance. For example, one or more functional units may be written for an online task flow (e.g., random number online task-random), and these functional units may be packaged into a predetermined functional package and uploaded to a file management module within the schema. For example, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating a file management interface according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to fig. 4, an ID, a file name, a file unique identifier (key), a file size, a source, a creation time, an operation (which may include, but is not limited to, a download button, a delete button, and the like) of an uploaded predefined function package (e.g., a random number function package), and the like may be displayed on the file management interface. When the user clicks the download button, the function package may be downloaded. When the user clicks the delete button, the bundle of functions may be deleted from the file management module. For example, the predetermined function package may be a function package that is uploaded to the file management module and includes a plurality of pre-programmed arbitrary function units, instead of being packaged for a certain online task flow. Here, the function unit may be a function written without defining a task parameter. Creating a function is to perform a defined operation on a functional unit, and the defined functional unit can become a created function. For example, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating a function creation interface according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The user may click on the add function button in an organizational management interface (not shown) and, referring to fig. 5, enter a function creation interface where the add function may be defined. Accordingly, the task creation operation may further include an operation of defining at least one of basic information of the functional unit, a function class name, an entry parameter, an exit parameter, an initial parameter, and a running parameter.

In addition, according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a user may first create an online task flow to be scheduled, and after the online task flow to be scheduled is created, a task scheduling interface may be entered. Therefore, the method for arranging online tasks according to the present disclosure may further include: displaying a task flow establishing interface; and detecting task flow creation operation input by a user in the task flow creation interface, and creating the task flow to be scheduled in response to the task flow creation operation. The task flow creation operation may include an operation of inputting basic information of an online task flow to be scheduled. The basic information may include, but is not limited to, the name, unique identification (key), version, and description information of the online task flow to be scheduled. After the basic information of the online task flow to be scheduled is input, the online task flow to be scheduled can be created based on the basic information of the online task flow to be scheduled.

In addition, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the functions created by the user and the online task flows to be scheduled may be displayed in the scheduling management interface, so that the user can view, create, and edit the functions and the online task flows. Therefore, the method for arranging online tasks according to the present disclosure may further include: and displaying the arrangement management interface. For example, FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating an orchestration management interface according to an example embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 6, an online task flow list area and a function list area may be included in the organizing and managing interface, and the online task flow list area displays relevant information of an online task flow to be organized created by a user and a newly added online task button. The relevant information of the online task flow may include, but is not limited to, an ID, a name, a status, a version, a description, a creation time, an operation (which may include editing, viewing a history version, a delete button, etc.) of the online task flow, and the like. When the user clicks the edit button, the online task flow to be scheduled can be edited, for example, the user can jump to a task scheduling interface. When the user clicks the view history version button, the history version of the online task flow to be scheduled can be displayed. When the user clicks the delete button, the online task flow to be scheduled can be deleted. In addition, when the user clicks the new online task button, a new online task flow to be scheduled can be created, for example, the user can jump to a task flow creation interface. The function list area may display corresponding information of the user-created task and a new function button. The corresponding information of the function may include, but is not limited to, an ID, a name, a Tag, a description, a class name, a creation time, an update time, an operation (which may include an edit button, a delete button, etc.) and the like of the function. When the user clicks the edit button, the function can be edited. When the user clicks the delete button, the function may be deleted. In addition, when the user clicks the add function button, a new function may be created, e.g., a jump may be made to the function creation interface.

Further, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, when the user completes the layout of the online task flow graph (e.g., completes the layout of the online task flow graph through the task editing interface), the online task flow programmed by the user may be successfully created, and an online task list interface may be displayed, wherein the created and completed online task flow may be displayed in the online task list. And responding to the operation of selecting the online task flow on the online task list interface by the user, and issuing the online task flow. The online task flow may be run in response to a user invoking the published online task flow at the publishing platform or through an API. For example, fig. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating an online task list interface according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to fig. 7, in the online task list interface, information about an online task flow (e.g., a patent-random) that has been created for user orchestration may be displayed. The related information of the user-programmed online task flow may include, but is not limited to, an ID, a name, a unique identification (Key), a status, a version, a description, a creation time, an operation (which may include a debug button, a release button, a view history version button, etc.), and the like of the user-programmed online task flow. When the user clicks the debugging button, the online task flow arranged by the user can be debugged. When the user clicks the release button, the online task flow arranged by the user can be released to the platform. When the user clicks the view history version button, the history version of the online task flow arranged by the user can be viewed. This will be described in detail below.

In addition, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, when a user selects to publish an online task flow on an online task list interface, a publication interface may be displayed, and the user may select a version of the online task flow desired to be published in the publication interface and publish the version. For example, when a user clicks a publish button in an online task list interface, a jump may be made to the publish interface. For example, fig. 8 is a schematic diagram illustrating a publication interface according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 8, in a publishing interface, information relating to multiple versions (including a current version and a historical version) of an online task flow that a user has choreographed may be displayed. The related information may include ID, version, use status, release status, update time, operation (including preview button, release button, etc.), etc., and in addition, for a released version, a down button may be displayed in operation. When the user clicks the preview button, the corresponding version may be previewed. When a user clicks on the publish button, the corresponding version may be published to the platform. When the user clicks the logoff button, the published version may be logoff.

In addition, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, when an operation of debugging an online task flow is selected on an online task list interface by a user, a debugging interface may be displayed; and responding to the operation of starting debugging selected by the user on the debugging interface, running the online task flow, and displaying the running result on the debugging interface. For example, when a user clicks a debug button in an online task list interface, a jump may be made to the debug interface. For example, fig. 9 is a schematic diagram illustrating a debugging interface according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to fig. 9, in the debugging interface, information related to the online task flow, a debugging button, and a result test area may be displayed. Relevant information for the online task flow may include, but is not limited to, a unique identification (Pipeline Key), a creation time, an update time Application Program Interface (API), and the like. When the user clicks the debugging button, the online task process can be operated, and the operation result is displayed in the result testing area. For example, in the result test area in fig. 9, it is shown that the data correctly returns a random number 611, which indicates that the random number service is successfully invoked after being concatenated.

In addition, according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a record is left for each editing of the online task flow, and the modification situation of each task can be known through comparison. Therefore, when the user selects the operation of viewing the historical versions of the online task flows on the task list interface, one or more historical versions related to the online task flows can be displayed; and in response to the operation of selecting to view the first historical version from the one or more historical versions by the user, displaying comparison information of the current version and the first historical version of the online task flow. For example, when a user clicks a view historical version button in an online task list interface, a jump may be made to a publishing interface where information for one or more historical versions may be displayed and the user may select one of the historical versions to click to preview for viewing. For example, fig. 10 is a schematic diagram illustrating a history viewing interface according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 10, in the history viewing interface, information of the current version (e.g., v2) and the selected history version (e.g., v1) may be displayed. For example, the historical version of information may be displayed on the left side of the historical viewing interface and the current version of information may be displayed on the right side of the historical viewing interface for comparison by the user.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart diagram illustrating visualization online task flow construction, according to an example embodiment of the present disclosure. Wherein the engine may represent a runtime environment for the AI scenario. The schema may represent a schema template for the engine. The file management may represent a file management module required by the schema. The function may represent a task unit that is reusable with minimal granularity for online orchestration. The online task may represent a collection of functions that possess dependencies, and may run within the engine. The execution condition may indicate that the downstream function is to be executed when the execution condition is satisfied. The lifecycle may include that before the function executes, the execution completes, the execution fails, and the execution times out may load the function.

Referring to FIG. 11, in step 1101, a function is written, defining the logic of the function. For example, the online scene task can be reasonably split and abstracted, and only one processing logic can be completed by one function as much as possible. Therefore, the online scene task can be divided into small functions, and each function can be written to define the logic of the function.

At step 1102, a function package may be packaged. After each function of the online scene task is defined, the functions can be packaged to obtain a function package for arranging the online scene task.

At step 1103, the function package may be uploaded to a file management module within the schema. For example, a display of the function packages uploaded to the file management modules within the schema may be displayed in the file management interface.

At step 1104, functions may be created, defining function classes, function default in-arguments, and out-arguments. For example, function names, unique identifiers, versions, function classes, default in-arguments, out-arguments, default initial parameters, run parameters, etc. may be defined.

In step 1105, all tasks required for this online orchestration may be defined.

At step 1106, an online task flow may be created. And after the required functions are created, a new online task flow is created. For example, the name, unique identification, version, description information of the online task flow may be input to create the online task flow.

In step 1107, the required functions may be dragged into the canvas in the online task orchestration canvas (e.g., the task canvas area).

In step 1108, functions can be correctly connected in the canvas according to the required dependencies.

In step 1109, clicking the function node in the canvas can define the modified function entry, the unique identifier of the function, the execution condition of the configured function, and the life cycle in the right configuration bar (for example, the task configuration area). In addition, the dependency relationship, initial parameters and operation parameters can be modified. The function execution condition may indicate that the current function can be executed when the execution condition is satisfied. The lifecycle can include: before the function runs, the function runs completely, the function runs unsuccessfully, and the function runs overtime.

At step 1110, clicking on the canvas, the online orchestration parameters (e.g., the running information for the online task flow) may be configured in the right configuration bar. For example, after the definition of an orchestration relationship is complete, online orchestration parameters may be defined in the right configuration column. As another example, clicking on the canvas (e.g., a blank area of the task canvas area) may toggle the right configuration bar to display the online orchestration parameters when the right configuration bar displays a configuration interface that is a function.

Of course, the order of

steps

1107, 1108, 1109, and 1110 described above is not limited, and the arrangement and configuration of the task flows may be accomplished in any possible order. In addition, the above step 1105 may be deleted or added as needed.

Referring to FIG. 12, at step 1201, an online task flow may be published. For example, the published online task flow may be selected from an online task list.

At step 1202, when the published online task flow is invoked, results may be returned. For example, the post-release flow may be invoked directly on the platform interface or through an API, which may return the prediction results for this scenario.

Referring to fig. 13, an apparatus of an online task according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure may include a display unit 1301, an orchestration unit 1302, and a creation unit 1303.

The display unit 1301 may display a task orchestration interface. Here, the task orchestration interface may include a function list area and a task canvas area. The function list area may display one or more functions, each function representing a task unit that is reusable with minimal granularity for online orchestration. Here, the function is a function with minimum granularity obtained by reasonably splitting and abstracting an online scene task, so that one function is ensured to be responsible for completing only one processing logic as much as possible. According to an example embodiment of the present disclosure, the display of the function in the function list region may include a function ID or a function name. Additionally, the display of functions may also include a function type, such as JAR. The task canvas area may be used to lay out and display functions and logical relationships between the functions, such that an online task flow graph, which is laid out by at least one function in the function list area, may be displayed in the task canvas area. For example, a user may select a function from the task list area and drag the function to the task canvas area, and in response to the user operation, the task canvas area may display a function node corresponding to the function, which is represented as a function node in the online task flow graph. For another example, a user may concatenate a function node with a previous function node and/or a subsequent function node in the online task flow graph, and in response to the user operation, the task canvas area may display a line connecting the function node with the previous function node and/or the subsequent function node, representing a logical relationship between functions.

According to an example embodiment of the present disclosure, the task orchestration interface may further include a task configuration area. The task configuration area can be configured with the running information of the task flow corresponding to the online task flow diagram, and can also be configured with the running information of the function corresponding to the function node in the online task flow diagram. The running information of the online task flow may include, but is not limited to, at least one of a running configuration, a life cycle, and an execution condition of the online task flow. The operation information of the function may include, but is not limited to, at least one of an entry, a dependency, an initial parameter, an operation parameter, a life cycle, an execution condition, and the like of the function.

The arranging unit 1302 may detect a task arranging operation input by a user in the task arranging interface for arranging an online task flow using the function displayed in the function list area, and in response to the task arranging operation, display an arranging result corresponding to the task arranging operation in the task canvas area, thereby displaying an online task flow diagram formed according to the task arranging operation in the task canvas area.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the task orchestration operation may include an operation of dragging the first function in the function list area into the task orchestration area. When the orchestration unit 1302 detects the task orchestration operation, the function node of the first function in the online task flow graph can be displayed in the task canvas area. That is, the first function corresponding to the first function becomes a function node in the online task flow graph.

According to an example embodiment of the present disclosure, the task orchestration operation may further include an operation of orchestrating a logical relationship of the first function with the pre-function and/or the post-function. When the orchestration unit 1302 detects the task orchestration operation, the logical relationship of the function node of the first function to other function nodes in the online task flow graph can be displayed in the task canvas area. For example, when the editing unit 1302 detects that the user connects the function node corresponding to the first function with the previous function node and/or the subsequent function node, the connection line connecting the function node corresponding to the first function with the previous function node and/or the subsequent function node may be displayed in the task canvas area, representing the logical relationship.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a user may perform a first configuration operation of configuring operation information of an online task flow corresponding to an online task flow diagram in a task configuration area. For example, before creating an online task flow for user orchestration according to an online task flow graph, the orchestration unit 1302 may detect a first configuration operation input by a user in a task configuration area for configuring running information of the online task flow. In response to the first configuration operation, the orchestration unit 1302 may obtain running information of the online task flow input by the user. The running information of the online task flow may include, but is not limited to, at least one of a running configuration, a life cycle, and an execution condition of the online task flow. Here, the run configuration may include trace forward and timeout configurations. The lifecycle may include function before execution (onStart), function complete, function failed execution (oneerror), function timeout, and onTimeout, which may be in the online task flow. The execution condition means that when the execution condition is satisfied by receiving the upstream operation result, the downstream function is executed. For example, the execution conditions may include receiving a runtime input parameter, a condition (onStart) under which the pre-processing logic may be executed, receiving a result of the function execution, a runtime input parameter, a condition (onComplete) under which the post-processing logic is executed, executing when there is an error, receiving a runtime input parameter, returning a function bottom entry result (oneerror), executing when there is a timeout, receiving a runtime input parameter, and returning a function bottom entry result (onetimeout).

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the user may further perform a second configuration operation of configuring the execution information of the function in the online task flow in the task configuration area. For example, the arranging unit 1302 may detect a selection operation of a user on a function node in the online task flow graph, display a configuration interface of a function corresponding to the selected function node in the task configuration area in response to the selection operation, detect a second configuration operation input by the user on the configuration interface and used for configuring the running information of the function corresponding to the function node, and obtain the running information of the function corresponding to the function node input by the user in response to the second configuration operation. The operation information of the function in the online task flow may include, but is not limited to, at least one of an argument, a dependency relationship, an initial parameter, an operation parameter, a life cycle, an execution condition, and the like of the function. Here, the reference indicates the parameter received by the function. The dependency represents the dependency of the function with other functions. The initial parameters refer to the initial parameters required before the function runs. The run parameters refer to the parameter lifecycle required by the function run, which may include function execution before (onStart), function execution complete (onComplete), function execution failure (oneerror), and function execution timeout (onTimeout) of the function. The execution condition means that when the execution condition is satisfied after receiving the upstream operation result, the downstream function will be executed. For example, the execution conditions may include receiving a runtime input parameter, a condition (onStart) under which the pre-processing logic may be executed, receiving a result of the function execution, a runtime input parameter, a condition (onComplete) under which the post-processing logic is executed, executing when there is an error, receiving a runtime input parameter, returning a function bottom entry result (oneerror), executing when there is a timeout, receiving a runtime input parameter, and returning a function bottom entry result (onetimeout).

According to an example embodiment of the present disclosure, the orchestration unit 1302 may display the running information of the online task flow by default in the task orchestration interface. The user can view and edit the running information of the online task flow. The task orchestration operation may also include an operation to click on a certain function node in the online task flow graph of the task canvas area. When the task orchestration operation is detected, the orchestration unit 1302 may switch to display the running information of the function corresponding to the function node in the task orchestration interface. The user can view and edit the operation information of the function corresponding to the function node.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the orchestration unit 1302 may form an online task flow graph of orchestration completion according to at least one task editing operation. After the online task flow graph is arranged, the arranging unit 1302 may configure the running information of the online task flow in the task arranging interface.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the creating unit 1303 may create a task flow arranged by a user according to the online task flow diagram, and the operation information of the online task flow and/or the operation information of a function corresponding to a function node.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the creating unit 1303 may obtain a function corresponding to a function node according to the function node in the online task flow diagram. The creating unit 1303 may determine a logical relationship between the functions corresponding to the function nodes according to the logical relationship between the function nodes. The operation logic of the online task flow can be determined according to the operation information of the online task flow. The creating unit 1303 may determine the operation logic of the function in the online task flow according to the operation information of the function in the online task flow. The creating unit 1303 may create an online task flow programmed by a user based on the obtained functions, the determined logical relationship between the functions, the determined operation logic of the online task flow, and the operation logic of the functions in the online task flow.

In addition, according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a user can reasonably split and abstract the online scene task into reusable functional units. Therefore, the user can freely create (or define) functions, and the created functions can be displayed in the function list area. Therefore, the online task orchestration device according to the present disclosure may further include: a function creation unit (not shown). The display unit 1301 may display a function creation interface; the function creation unit may detect a function creation operation input in the function creation interface by a user, and create a function in response to the function creation operation. For example, the function creation operation includes an operation of selecting a predetermined function package, wherein the predetermined function package includes one or more function units programmed in advance. For example, one or more functional units may be written for an online task flow (e.g., random number online task-random), and these functional units may be packaged into a predetermined functional package and uploaded to a file management module within the schema. A file management interface according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in fig. 4. For example, the predetermined function package may be a function package that is uploaded to the file management module and includes a plurality of pre-programmed arbitrary function units, instead of being packaged for a certain online task flow. Here, the function unit may be a function written without defining a task parameter. Creating a function is to perform a defined operation on a functional unit, and the defined functional unit can become a created function. Accordingly, the task creation operation may further include an operation of defining at least one of basic information, a function class name, an in-argument, an out-argument, an initial parameter, and an execution parameter of the function unit.

In addition, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a user may first create an online task flow to be scheduled, and after the online task flow to be scheduled is created, a task scheduling interface may be entered. Therefore, the online task orchestration device according to the present disclosure may further include: a task flow creation unit (not shown). The display unit 1301 may display a task flow creation interface; the task flow creating unit can detect task flow creating operation input by a user in the task flow creating interface and create the task flow to be scheduled in response to the task flow creating operation. The task flow creation operation may include an operation of inputting basic information of an online task flow to be scheduled. The basic information may include, but is not limited to, the name, unique identification (key), version, and description information of the online task flow to be scheduled. After the basic information of the online task flow to be scheduled is input, the task flow creating unit may create the online task flow to be scheduled based on the basic information of the online task flow to be scheduled.

In addition, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the functions created by the user and the online task flows to be scheduled may be displayed in the scheduling management interface, so that the user can view, create, and edit the functions and the online task flows. Accordingly, the display unit 1301 may also display an arrangement management interface. For example, an orchestration management interface according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. 6.

Further, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, when the user completes the layout of the online task flow diagram (e.g., completes the layout of the online task flow diagram through the task editing interface), the online task flow programmed by the user may be successfully created, and the display unit 1301 may display an online task list interface, wherein the created and completed online task flow may be displayed in the online task list. Further, the orchestration device of online tasks according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure may further include a publishing unit (not shown) and a running unit (not shown). The publishing unit may publish the online task flow in response to an operation of a user selecting the online task flow to be published on the online task list interface. The running unit may run the online task flow in response to a user calling the published online task flow at the publishing platform or calling the published online task flow through the API. For example, an online task list interface according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. 7.

In addition, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, when a user selects to publish an online task flow on an online task list interface, a publication interface may be displayed, and the user may select a version of the online task flow desired to be published in the publication interface and publish the version. For example, when a user clicks a publish button in an online task list interface, a jump may be made to the publish interface. For example, a publishing interface according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. 8.

In addition, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, when an operation of debugging an online task flow is selected on the online task list interface by a user, the display unit 1301 may display a debugging interface; in response to the user selecting the operation of starting debugging on the debugging interface, the running unit can run the online task flow and display the running result on the debugging interface. For example, when a user clicks a debug button in an online task list interface, a jump may be made to the debug interface. For example, a debug interface according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. 9.

In addition, according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a record is left for each editing of the online task flow, and the modification situation of each task can be known through comparison. Therefore, the orchestration device of online tasks according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure may further include a version comparison unit (not shown). When a user selects an operation of viewing the historical versions of the online task flows on the task list interface, the version comparison unit can display one or more historical versions related to the online task flows; in response to a user selecting an operation to view the first historical version from the one or more historical versions, the version comparison unit may display comparison information of the current version and the first historical version of the online task flow.
