When arranging the network service, firstly, the data model included in the network service is obtained, and the network service is arranged according to the data model included in the network service. Specific examples may include, but are not limited to, example 1 or example 2 described below.

Example 1

The network service includes a plurality of data models, and embodiment 1 provides a method for assisting orchestration of a network service, for assisting orchestration of the network service according to a plurality of data models included in the network service, as shown in fig. 5, the method mainly includes:

s501, adding a control of the network service by the first device.

Implementations of S501 may include, but are not limited to: a control mode is added independently; searching for a control adding mode; and recommending a control adding mode by the path.

It should be noted that, in the process of arranging the web service, any one of the three manners or a combination of the three manners may be selected according to actual situations to complete addition of all the controls of the web service, which is not specifically limited in this application.

For example, when the first data model and the last data model of the web service are known to the user, the path recommendation addition control mode can be directly adopted to complete the addition of all the controls of the web service.

For another example, when the user knows the first data model and the last data model of the web service, the node control corresponding to the first data model of the web service may be added by using a separate control adding manner, and then the node controls corresponding to other data models included in the web service and the relationship control corresponding to the relationship between the data models may be added by using a search control adding manner.

For another example, when the user knows all data models of the network service and the relationship between the data models, the node controls corresponding to all data models of the network service and the relationship controls corresponding to the relationship between the data models may be added one by one in a single control adding manner.

For another example, when the user knows the first data model and the last data model of the web service, the node control corresponding to the first data model of the web service may be added by using a separate adding control mode, then the control corresponding to one or more data models in the web service and the relationship control corresponding to the relationship between the data models are added by using a search adding control mode, and then the control corresponding to other data models of the web service and the relationship control corresponding to the relationship between the data models are added by using a path recommendation adding control mode.

For another example, when the user knows the first data model, the middle one or more data models, and the last data model of the web service, the user may also acquire a control of a certain section of path (the path between the first data model and the middle known data model) by using a path recommendation control adding manner, and then add a control corresponding to another data model of the web service and a relationship control corresponding to the relationship between the data models by using a separate control adding manner or a control searching and adding manner.

It will be appreciated that the process of adding a control to a web service may also include other implementations, which are not listed here.

Taking the example of adding the first node control by the first device, the description of the manner of adding the control separately may specifically include, but is not limited to, the following S5011 and S5012.

The first node control may be any node control included in the network service. The adding process of other node controls or relationship controls is similar to the adding process of the first node control, and is not repeated one by one.

S5011, adding a first node control on a display interface of the first device.

In one possible implementation, S5011 may be implemented as: the first device may receive the first instruction, create a new node control according to the instruction of the first instruction, use the new node control as the first node control, and configure attribute information for the created node control.

In another possible implementation manner, a plurality of controls are pre-configured in an application program of the first device for orchestrating the web service. Such as node controls, relationship controls, and the like. S5011 may be implemented as: the first device may receive a selection operation, respond to the selection operation and directly acquire a required node control, use the acquired node control as a first node control, and then configure attribute information for the node control.

Illustratively, the selection operation may include clicking (e.g., clicking a left mouse button, double clicking a left mouse button, clicking a right mouse button, double clicking a right mouse button), dragging, and the like.

Wherein, the attribute information of the node control may include an identifier of the node control.

Optionally, the attribute information of the node control may further include a name, a function, a shape, a position, and the like of the node control. The name of the node control can be used for representing the content, the action and other information of the node control. The functionality of the node control may include the function functionality, associated functionality, etc. of the node control. And the shape and the position of the node control are used for indicating the node control to be displayed in the shape and the position in the attribute information.

The attribute information of the node control can be configured according to actual requirements, which is not limited in the present application. The attribute information of the node control can be statically configured in the design stage of the network service arrangement, or the attribute information of the node control can be set as configurable content, and the configuration is modified by a user, an administrator or other personnel in the use stage of the network service.

Specifically, configuring the attribute information of the node control may be implemented as:

and the first equipment configures the attribute information of the node control according to the input of the user.

Or the first device automatically configures the attribute information of the node control according to the system.

Or, the first device configures attribute information of the node control in other ways, which is not specifically limited in this application.

For example, a user may click an "add node control" on a display interface of the first device, and the first device receives and responds to the click operation of the user to create and display a node control. Then, the first device may configure the attribute information of the node control according to the identifier (for example, JD001) of the node control and the name (for example, employee) of the node control input by the user.

Illustratively, the first device has a node control preconfigured in an application program that orchestrates the web services. The user can select and display the node control needing to be acquired by clicking and dragging. And then the first device can configure the identifier of the node control according to the adding sequence of the node control, and configure information such as the name of the node control according to the default name of the system.

S5012, the first device associates the first node control with the first data model.

Wherein the first data model is any data model included in the network service.

Implementations of S5012 can include, but are not limited to, method 1 or method 2 described below.

The method 1, the first device establishes association between the first node control and all data in a first data model included in the network service.

The implementation of the method 1 may include: the first equipment acquires an identifier of the first node control and an identifier of the first data model; the first device receives a third operation of the user, and the first device associates the identification of the first node control with the identification of the first data model included by the network service in response to the third operation.

When the first device obtains the identifier of the first node control and the identifier of the first data model, in a possible implementation manner, the first device may receive the identifier of the first node control and the identifier of the first data model included in the network service, which are input by a user. In another possible implementation manner, the first device may automatically assign the identifier of the first node control to the first node control, and then receive the identifier of the first data model input by the user.

And when the first equipment receives the third operation of the user, and determines that the first node control needs to be associated with the first data model included by the network service by analyzing information such as the click position or the click button of the third operation.

The third operation may be clicking (for example, clicking a left mouse button, double clicking a left mouse button, clicking a right mouse button, double clicking a right mouse button, and the like) a certain position in the display interface or clicking a certain button in the display interface. The present application contrast is not particularly limited.

When the first device responds to the third operation and associates the identifier of the first node control with the identifier of the first data model included in the network service, in a possible implementation manner, the association information may be stored in the attribute information of each control. Specifically, the first device, in response to the third operation, saves the identifier of the first node control and the identifier of the first data model included in the network service in the attribute information of the first node control.

Wherein, a group of associated information may include an identifier of a node control and an identifier of a corresponding data model; or a relationship between the identity of one relationship control and the corresponding data model.

In another possible implementation, the association information is stored in a fixed location of the server in the form of an association table. Specifically, the first device stores, in response to the third operation, the identifier of the first node control and the identifier of the first data model included in the network service in the association table.

Specifically, the present application does not limit the execution order of each step in the implementation of S5012.

Illustratively, the application program of the first device for arranging the network service is pre-configured with an associated attribute item of the node control, and the associated attribute item is used for establishing the association between the node control and the data model. When a user needs to establish association between a first node control and a first data model of a network service, the user may click an associated attribute of the first node control, the first device displays an information box for inputting an associated object in response to the operation of clicking the associated attribute of the first node control, and the user inputs "an identifier of the first node control (for example, JD029) and an identifier of the first data model included in the network service (for example, SJ 042)" in the information box. Then, the user clicks "complete", the first device responds to the "complete" click operation, JD029 and SJ042 are used as attribute information of the first node control to be stored, and then various instructions for the first node control can directly instruct the first data model included in the network service to perform related operations through the related information, so that the first node control is related to the first data model included in the network service.

Illustratively, as shown in table 2, an association table is pre-configured in the application program of the first device for organizing the web service, and the association table includes control items and entity items (data models or relationships between data models). Controls in the same column are associated with entities.

TABLE 2

Control item	JD001	GXK001	……	JD022
					Entity item	SJ004	GX007	……	SJ035

It should be noted that table 2 only shows an example of a storage form of the association table, and should not be used to specifically limit the content and the storage form of the association table.

When a user needs to associate a first node control with a first data model included in a network service, the user may click "add association" on a display interface of a first device, the first device displays an information box for inputting an associated object in response to the click "add association", and the user inputs "an identifier of the first node control (for example, JD029) and an identifier of the first data model included in the network service (for example, SJ 042)" in the information box. The first device then updates the association table according to JD029, SJ 042.

And 2, the first equipment establishes association between the first node control and data meeting the filtering condition in a first data model included in the network service.

Illustratively, the filtering condition may be an inequality with respect to time; alternatively, the filter condition may be an inequality with respect to certain attribute parameters in the data model.

In the implementation of the method 2, the first device obtains the identifier of the first node control, the identifier of the first data model, and the filtering condition, receives a third operation of the user, and associates the first node control with data meeting the filtering condition in the first data model included in the network service according to an instruction of the third operation.

Illustratively, as shown in table 3, an association table is pre-configured in the application program of the first device for orchestrating the network services, and the association table further includes a filter condition.

TABLE 3

Control item	JD001	GXK001	……	JD022
					Entity item	SJ004	GX007	……	SJ035
Filtration conditions				Storage time>10 months and 1 day

It should be noted that table 3 only shows another storage form of the association table by way of example, and should not be construed as a specific limitation on the content and the storage form of the association table.

When the user needs to associate the first node control with the first data model included in the network service, on the basis of method 1, the user may further click "add filter condition" on a display interface of the first device, the first device displays an information box for inputting an associated object in response to the click "add filter condition" operation, and the user inputs "an identifier of the first node control (for example, JD029) and a filter condition (for example, storage time >10 month 1 day)" or "an identifier of the first data model included in the network service (for example, SJ042) and a filter condition (for example, storage time >10 month 1 day)" in the information box. Then, the first device updates the association table according to 'JD 029, storage time >10 month and 1 day'; or the first device updates the association table according to "SJ 042, storage time >10 months and 1 day".

Now, a process of adding the second node control and the first relationship control by adding the controls separately will be described. This process may include, but is not limited to, S5013 and S5014 described below.

The first node control and the second node control are connected through the first relation control.

S5013, adding a second node control and a first relation control on the display interface of the first device.

The specific implementation in S5013 may refer to S5011, and is not described herein again.

It should be noted that, in S5013, the order of adding the second node control and the first relationship control is not limited.

S5014, the first device associates the second node control with the second data model according to the identifier of the second data model and the identifier of the second node control of the at least two node controls.

Wherein the first data model and the second data model have a first relationship therebetween; the second node control is any one of the node controls in the logic diagram except the first node control; the first relationship is used to represent that the first data model is related to the second data model.

Specifically, the implementation process of S5014 may refer to S5012, and is not described in detail here.

S5014a, the first device associates the first relationship control with the first relationship according to the identifier of the first relationship control and the identifier of the first relationship.

The first node control and the second node control are connected through a first relation control.

Specifically, the implementation process of S5014a may refer to S5012, and is not described in detail here.

In the present application, the order of executing S5014 and S5014a is not particularly limited, and may be configured according to actual circumstances. For example, S5014 may be performed first, the first device first associates the second node control with the second data model, and then S5014a is performed, the first device then associates the first relationship control with the first relationship. Alternatively, S5014a may be performed first, the first device associating the first relationship control with the first relationship; then, the process proceeds to S5014, where the first device associates the second node control with the second data model.

Taking the first device adding the second node control and the first relationship as an example, the method for searching for the added control may specifically include, but is not limited to, the following S5015 to S5017.

And the second node control is connected with the first node control through the first relation control.

S5015, the first device obtains a candidate relation related to the first data model and/or a candidate data model having a relation with the first data model according to the search instruction.

Wherein the search instruction includes an identification of the first data model.

Wherein the candidate relationship comprises a first relationship and the candidate data model comprises a second data model. The first data model and the second data model have a first relationship therebetween, and the first relationship is used for representing that the first data model is related to the second data model.

In one possible implementation, the first device searches the database of the first device for one or more candidate relationships related to the first data model and/or one or more candidate data models having a relationship with the first data model according to the identification of the first data model included in the search instruction.

In another possible implementation, the first device sends the search instruction to the second device. The first device receives the candidate relations related to the first data model and/or the candidate data models with relations to the first data model sent by the second device.

Wherein the second device has stored therein a plurality of data models and relationships between the data models. Illustratively, the second device may be a server that includes the graph database module 2014 of FIG. 3.

It is to be understood that, in another possible implementation manner, the second device searches the database of the first device for one or more candidate relations related to the first data model and/or one or more candidate data models having relations with the first data model according to the identification of the first data model in the search instruction; one or more candidate relationships associated with the first data model, and/or one or more candidate data models having a relationship with the first data model, are then sent to the first device.

It should be noted that the first device may obtain one or more candidate relationships related to the first data model and/or one or more candidate data models having a relationship with the first data model, and may obtain the one or more candidate data models through one search instruction or may obtain the one or more candidate data models through two search instructions, which is not specifically limited in this application.

Then, the first device determines a second data model according to the acquired one or more candidate relations related to the first data model and/or one or more candidate data models having relations with the first data model and/or determines the first relation.

When the first device determines the second data model and/or determines the first relationship from the candidate data models, in one possible implementation, the first device determines the second data model and/or the first relationship from the candidate data models according to a first rule.

The first rule may include: the storage time of the data model or relationship is up to date.

Alternatively, the most relationships are associated with the data model, or the most relationships are associated with the data model.

When the first device determines the second data model from the candidate data models and/or determines the first relationship, in another possible implementation, the first device may determine the second data model according to an operation of a user.

Illustratively, the first device displays the candidate data model and the related information (storage time, related relation, name of the data model and the like) of the candidate data model on a display interface of the first device, the first device receives the selection operation of a user on the display interface, and determines a second data model; the first device displays the candidate relation and the related information (storage time, related data model, name of the relation and the like) of the candidate relation on a display interface of the first device, receives selection operation of a user on the display interface, and determines the first relation.

If the search result of the search instruction is null, the first prompt information "no relevant data model has been searched for" is output to the user.

S5016, the first device obtains the second node control and the first relation control.

The implementation process of S5016 is similar to that of S5011, and for specific implementation, reference is made to S5011, and details are not repeated.

S5017, the first equipment associates the second node control with the second data model; a first relationship control is associated with the first relationship.

The implementation process of S5017 is similar to that of S5012, and for specific implementation, reference is made to S5012, and details are not repeated.

It should be noted that, through one search, the first device obtains a first relationship related to the first data model and a second data model having a relationship with the first data model, then adds a second node control to the second data model, adds a first relationship control to the first relationship, associates the second data model with the second node control, and associates the first relationship control with the first relationship.

Or, first, through one search, the first device obtains a first relationship related to the first data model, adds a first relationship control to the first relationship, and associates the first relationship control with the first relationship; and then, through another search, the first equipment acquires a second data model which has a relation with the first data model, adds a second node control to the second data model, and associates the second data model with the second node control.

Or, through another search, the first device obtains a second data model having a relationship with the first data model, adds a second node control to the second data model, and associates the second data model with the second node control; and then, through one search, the first equipment acquires a first relation related to the first data model, adds a first relation control to the first relation, and associates the first relation control with the first relation.

Taking the example of adding the third node control and the fourth node control by the first device, the way of adding the control for the path recommendation will be described, which may specifically include, but is not limited to, the following S5018 to S5019 a. The adding processes of other path recommendation controls are similar and are not described in detail.

Wherein the third node control is associated with the third data model and the fourth node control is associated with the fourth data model. The third data model is the first data model in the first path included by the network service, and the fourth data model is the last data model in the first path included by the network service; the first path is any path included by the network service; the path may include multiple data models and relationships between the data models.

The way of adding the control by the path recommendation may include, but is not limited to: scheme a or scheme B.

And according to the scheme A, a recommended path is obtained according to the starting data model and the end point data model.

And B, acquiring a recommended path according to the initial data model, the end data model and the intermediate path data model.

S5018, the first device receives the path recommendation instruction.

For scenario a, the path recommendation instruction includes an identification of the third data model and an identification of the fourth data model; and the path recommending instruction is used for indicating that one or more candidate paths with the third data model as a starting point and the fourth data model as an end point are recommended.

Further, for the solution B, the path recommendation instruction may further include an identifier of the fifth data model. And the path recommending instruction is used for indicating that one or more candidate paths which take the third data model as a starting point, take the fourth data model as an end point and pass through the fifth data model are recommended.

And the fifth data model is a data model which is included by the network service and is except for the third data model and the fourth data model.

Specifically, the number of the fifth data models may be one or more, and the present application is not limited to this.

S5019, the first device acquires one or more candidate paths according to the path recommendation instruction.

In a possible implementation manner for the scheme a, the first device may obtain, in the database of the first device, one or more candidate paths using the third data model as a starting point and the fourth data model as an ending point by using an association path recommendation algorithm.

The associated path recommendation algorithm is based on shortest path algorithm expansion of a database, the algorithm logic specifies model nodes for recommendation paths for users, and paths with the minimum number of path nodes are provided. When the algorithm is processed, the shortest path from the initial node to the path node is firstly obtained, then the shortest path from the path node to the target node is obtained, and the results of the two steps are combined into a final result. For example, as shown in fig. 6, a path diagram stored in the database is obtained by searching a path from data model a (referred to as a) to path B to path F, and the result is: A-B-C-F or, A-B-D-F.

In another possible implementation manner for scheme a, the first device sends the identifier of the third data model and the identifier of the fourth data model to the second device. The first device receives one or more candidate paths sent by the second device.

It can be understood that, after the second device receives the identifier of the third data model and the identifier of the fourth data model, the second device obtains one or more candidate paths in the database by using the associated path recommendation algorithm, where the candidate paths use the third data model as a starting point and the fourth data model as an ending point.

For the solution B, in the implementation process of S5019, the first device obtains one or more candidate paths that use the third data model as a starting point and the fourth data model as an end point and pass through the fifth data model.

The specific acquisition process is similar to that of the scheme a and is not repeated.

And if the result of the path recommending instruction is null, outputting second prompt information 'no matching path found' to the user. And the first device no longer performs S5019 a.

S5019a, the first device obtains a path in the logic diagram.

And one path in the logic diagram comprises a node control corresponding to the data model in the target path and a relation control corresponding to the relation between the data models in the target path.

Wherein the one or more candidate paths include a target path.

If the number of candidate routes acquired in S5019 is 1, the candidate route is the target route.

If the number of the candidate paths obtained in S5019 is greater than 1, the first device first determines a target path in the candidate paths, and then obtains a relationship between the data model and the data model included in the target path, and the first device establishes a corresponding node control for each data model in the target path and associates the node control with the corresponding data model; and the first equipment establishes a corresponding relation control for each relation in the target path and associates the relation control with the corresponding relation.

Specifically, the addition of the control and the associated process may be similar to S5011 and S5012, and reference may be made to specific implementations of S5011 and S5012, which are not described one by one here.

In one possible implementation, the first device may determine the target path according to a second rule.

The second rule may be configured according to actual requirements, which is not specifically limited in this application.

Illustratively, the second rule may include: including the path with the least number of data models; or otherwise.

In another possible implementation manner, the first device may determine the target path according to an operation of a user.

Illustratively, the first device displays the candidate route on a display interface of the first device, and the first device receives a selection operation of a user on the display interface and determines the target route.

After S501, the first device adds node controls corresponding to all data models included in the network service and relationship controls corresponding to relationships between the data models, so as to obtain a logic diagram of the network service.

As shown in fig. 5 or fig. 5a, embodiment 1 of the present application provides a method for assisting in orchestrating a network service, which may further include S502.

And S502, displaying a logic diagram of the network service on a display interface of the first device.

The logic diagram of the web service includes the node control and the relationship control acquired in S501. A node control is associated with a data model included in the web service and a relationship control is associated with a relationship included in the web service.

Different network services comprise different data models and relations among the data models, and logic diagrams of different forms of network services can be obtained.

By way of example, a possible form of a logical diagram of a variety of network services is illustrated in FIG. 7. A in fig. 7 illustrates a simple network logic diagram with a single relationship (one node control to one connected relationship control) path; b or c in fig. 7 illustrates a one-to-many network logic diagram, that is, the logic diagram of the network service includes a plurality of first node controls (node controls corresponding to a first data model included in the network service) or a plurality of second node controls (node controls corresponding to a last data model included in the network service); a many-to-many network logic diagram is illustrated by d in fig. 7. I.e., the logical graph of the web service includes a plurality of first node controls and a plurality of second node controls.

It is to be understood that fig. 7 is merely an exemplary manner of enumerating several possible logical views of network services and should not constitute a specific limitation of the logical views of network services. The logic diagram of the network service may also be in other forms, which are not listed here.

S503, the first device assists in arranging the network service according to the logic diagram.

S503 may be implemented to add, by the first device, the input parameter of the network service and the output parameter of the network service to the node control in the logic diagram.

Specifically, the first device adds input parameters of the network service to a node control associated with a first data model included in the network service in the logic diagram to determine that first attribute information of the first data model included in the network service is used as the input parameters of the network service. The first device adds the output parameter of the network service to a node control associated with the last data model included in the network service in the logic diagram to determine second attribute information of the last data model included in the network service as the output parameter of the network service.

The number of the first data models included in the network service and the number of the last data models included in the network service are not specifically limited in the present application.

In one possible implementation, the number of the first data models that the network service may include may be one, or may also be multiple. Correspondingly, the number of node controls in the logic diagram associated with the first data model included in the network service may be one, or may be multiple.

In another possible implementation, the number of the last data model that the network service may include may be one, or may be multiple. Correspondingly, the number of node controls in the logic diagram associated with the last data model included in the network service may be one, or may be multiple.

Specifically, the input parameter of the web service and the output parameter of the web service may be one or more attribute items in the data model. For example, as shown in the data model of Table 1, the input parameters of the web service may be set to one or more of employee number, employee name, and employee address.

For example, an implementation example of step 1 may include: the user can click the 'adding input parameter' on the display interface of the first device, the first device receives the click operation, responds to the click 'adding input parameter' operation, and enters a waiting state of adding the input parameter. Then, the user selects a node control associated with the first data model included in the network service in the logic diagram of the network service, and clicks the node control associated with the first data model included in the network service in the logic diagram. And the first device receives the clicking operation, identifies a node control associated with a first data model included in the network service according to the clicking position, and pops up an adding interface of the input parameters. And inputting the input parameters corresponding to the node control in the adding interface of the input parameters by the user.

For an implementation example of step 2, reference may be made to the implementation example of step 1, and details are not described here.

It should be noted that, when the number of the node controls associated with the first data model included in the network service and/or the number of the node controls associated with the last data model included in the network service is multiple, the input parameters and/or the output parameters of the network service are multiple parameters, and step 1 and step 2 in the above mode 1 are respectively executed for the adding process of each input parameter or output parameter, which is not described in detail herein.

The method for assisting the arranging of the network service provided by the application is described in detail below by taking the arrangement of a web service for inquiring the wages of the employees as an example. The web service at least comprises a data model employee and a data model Pay. The data model employee includes employee name and employee job number, and the data model Pay includes employee job number and employee payroll. A web service is now orchestrated that can query the employee's salary by employee name.

First, the server responds to a user instruction and opens a service orchestration interface to conduct orchestration of the web services. As shown in fig. 9, the orchestration of web services mainly includes: service design, service development, service testing, and service publishing. Wherein, the service design phase can include: setting basic information, editing a logic diagram, setting input parameters, setting output parameters and setting filter conditions.

The user then enters basic information for the desired orchestrated web service in the service orchestration interface. Specifically, as shown in fig. 9, the horizontal line under "service design" indicates that the service design stage is currently in progress. The circle above the basic information is used for indicating that the web service layout is in the basic information setting stage of the service design at the moment. The basic information setting of the web service may include filling of information such as a code, a chinese and english name, a chinese and english description, a responsible person, and an indicated service domain of the web service. As shown in fig. 9, the user inputs "z 001" in the code of the web service, "acquire employee's wages" at the chinese name of the web service, "Get Employees' Pay" at the english name of the web service, "xxxxxx 1" at the english description of the web service, "xxxxxx 2" at the chinese description of the web service, "wangsi" at the responsible person of the web service, and "AAAAA" at the service domain to which the web service belongs.

The user may save the basic information of the currently filled-in web service by clicking "save" as shown in fig. 9. Clicking on "Next", the web service orchestration proceeds to the next step of "basic information", the "edit logic diagram" phase.

Example a, a logic diagram is edited by clicking by a user to add node controls individually.

As shown in fig. 10, "", is used to indicate that the web service layout is in the "edit logic diagram" phase at this time. The "edit logic diagram" phase may include "add node control", "add relationship control", "search", "path recommendation", "move", and "delete" functions. If the user clicks the 'add node control', a part for adding the node control is displayed in the interface as 1001, and the user inputs 'SJ 005' according to the prompt message 'data model identifier'; inputting JD001 according to the prompt message 'node control mark', and inputting employees according to the prompt message 'node control name'; clicking "done" creates a first node control as shown in fig. 11.

Clicking on 'search' in fig. 12, a part for searching as shown in 1201 is displayed in the interface, the user inputs 'SJ 005' according to the prompt information 'data model identifier' and then clicks 'ok', and the server performs searching according to the data model identifier 'SJ 005', and inquires about the data model related to the data model SJ005 and the relationship related to the data model SJ 005. Among them, the data models related to data model SJ005 include "data model SJ 008" and "data model SJ 009". As shown in part 1301 of fig. 13, data model SJ008 is named pay, and data model SJ009 is named abc. The relationships associated with the data model SJ005 include "relationship a" and "relationship b". Here, the name of the relationship between SJ005 and SJ008 is a, and the name of the relationship between SJ005 and SJ009 is b. The user clicks and clicks on the box before SJ008, and determines to select SJ008 and relation a as the relation and data model connected with SJ 005. Click on "ok" then generates the second node control and the first relationship control shown in fig. 14. The name of the second node control is "pay", and the identifier of the second node control is "JD 002"; the name of the first relationship control is "a" and the identification of the first relationship control is "GXK 001". The first node control and the second node control are connected through a first relation control.

Example B, automatically editing the logic diagram by recommending a path.

As shown in fig. 15, the user clicks "path recommendation", the interface of the server is displayed as shown in 1501 in fig. 15, and then "SJ 005" is input according to the prompt information "start data model", and "SJ 008" is input according to the prompt information "end data model", and "search" is clicked to obtain two candidate recommended paths, which are path 1 (emergyes-pay) and path 2 (emergyes-abc-pay), respectively. As shown in fig. 1501, after the user clicks "select" on the path 1, the server automatically generates a node control and a relationship control according to the data model employee, and the relationship a in the path 1, as shown in fig. 14.

Optionally, in the stage of editing the logic diagram, the user may also select an object (node control and/or relationship control) to be deleted by clicking "delete" in the interface, and delete the selected object. The user can also select an object (node control and/or relationship control) to be moved by clicking on "move" in the interface, and move the selected object. For example, after the node "employees" is selected by clicking "delete", the node "employees" is deleted. Likewise, the user may save the logical view of the current web service by clicking save ". The user clicks on "next" on the interface and the web service orchestration proceeds to "set input parameters".

Optionally, if the user clicks "last step", the web service layout returns "basic information", and the user may further modify the basic information of the web service.

After entering the stage of setting input parameters, the user clicks the node of employee and inputs the name of employee according to the prompt information. Then click the next step and enter the stage of setting output parameters. And after entering the stage of setting input parameters, clicking the "pay" node by the user, and inputting the "employee wages" according to the prompt information. Then click on 'next' and enter the 'set filter condition' phase. The user can click on the data model "Pay" and enter the filter term "date >10 months and 1 days" according to the prompt. That is, only employee payroll stored in the data model "pay" after 10 months and 1 day is determined as queryable data in the web service.

The user can click the next step, the arrangement of the web service enters a service development stage, and in the service development stage, the structure diagram of the web service displayed on the service arrangement interface is converted into a script program of the web service by clicking a script program generation server through the user. And clicking the next step, and entering a service testing stage by arranging the web service, wherein the service testing stage is mainly used for performing functional verification on the web service. When performing function verification, as shown in fig. 16, after "zhang san" is input in the input parameter value, and "run" is clicked, the output parameter value obtained according to the web service script to which the input parameter value is added is obtained, and the running result is: a wage of 11 months 8000, a wage of 12 months 8000. And manually verifying that the output result obtained after the script program runs is correct. Then clicking the publishing interface, jumping to a service publishing interface, and publishing the web service. So that the user can access the web service through any one of the clients to obtain the required employee wages.
