Description

Automatic log generation method and system for business flow development tool

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of computer technologies, and in particular, to a method and a system for automatically generating a log for a service flow development tool.

Background

With the development of IT information-based business, a large amount of data needs to be processed in daily business of a company, and a large amount of manpower is occupied for processing simple and repeated operations. The concept of business flow is originated from the field of production organization and office automation, and is a concept provided for activities with fixed programs in daily work, and the purpose is to decompose work into well-defined tasks or roles, execute the tasks according to certain rules and processes and monitor the tasks, so that the purposes of improving work efficiency, better controlling the process, enhancing the service to customers, effectively managing business processes and the like are achieved.

Among them, RPA is a typical technology using a service flow development tool. The RPA can quickly generate executable robot scripts by editing the model through a visual integrated development tool (IDE). To help non-technicians configure and develop business processes quickly and reduce development costs, integrated development tools often employ models for robot Business Process Diagram (BPD) definition. Developers can quickly modify and adjust business logic through a model editing tool. However, RPA flow robots often encounter unexpected problems while in operation, or unexpected events cause the flow to fail or crash. Because the executable script is dynamically generated by the visual development tool, the developer cannot quickly locate the cause of the problem and improve the problem if the executable script is not manually configured or set. This is also a typical problem encountered by all traffic flow development tools.

Currently, the industry has related customized log output specifications, but an automatic log output method aiming at a service flow development tool is lacked, each log output in a service flow design process needs to be manually set, the development cost is high, and the method is difficult to maintain, wastes time and labor.
