Detailed Description

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Example 1

A code-free cross-system interface development method based on RPA software comprises the following steps:

step one, adding an HTTP universal capability external interface in RPA software;

secondly, completing service logic of a cross-system interface by RPA software in a codeless manner;

and step three, triggering the RPA software to appoint and run the defined service logic in the step two by calling the interface in the step one, so as to achieve the purpose of acquiring data in each system required by the service, thereby realizing the development of a codeless cross-system interface and reducing the development cost.

Example 2

The RPA software has the characteristics of visual configuration, automatic execution, no intrusion, cross-platform and the like, the compilation of the business flow logic can be completed in a page dragging mode, the flow is realized by simulating the operation of a person, and the related system or software is completely and zero-intruding. However, the software is used in a timing manner or a manual manner, and the internal operation of the software has no open interface, so that the software cannot directly exchange data with an external system. Therefore, the problem of capability extension, i.e. data exchange with an external system, must be solved to achieve the technical effect of the present embodiment. The HTTP protocol has the characteristics of simplicity, rapidness, flexibility, system collapse and the like, and becomes a different choice for realizing data exchange in the patent, and the specific implementation scheme of the HTTP protocol encapsulation interface is as follows:

as shown in fig. 1, an http universal interface is added to the RPA software executor to receive the caller call request data and return the execution result. The interface request adopts a POST mode, the request parameter is a json character string and comprises data required by process operation, the interface returns to the json character string, and the content comprises data, error codes and error description after the process is executed.

The interface method has the following internal logic:

1. request data is obtained from a flash object, and is solidified into a global variable in a mode of assigning values to the global object, so that any node can use the parameter value at will when the RPA software flow is compiled, and normal circulation of the flow is realized.

2. And calling an execution method of the RPA software executor, and triggering the RPA software to execute the programmed flow through the method.

3. And after an execution result of the execution method of the RPA software executor is obtained, the execution result is packaged into a json format through character string format processing, and the json format is returned to a calling party through a flash.

The method for realizing the code-free cross-system interface development based on the modified RPA software comprises the following steps:

step one, defining a data capturing process in an RPA software designer in a visual interface dragging control mode.

And step two, the caller system calls a general interface http:// domain name/rpa/executeToRpa, transmits data required by the defined flow in the step one, and processes returned result data of the defined flow in the step one.

By means of the advantages of unique code-free compilation, cross-system non-invasion and the like of RPA software, cross-system interface development is enabled to be simple and rapid, and the technical effect of the embodiment is achieved.
