Detailed Description

In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more comprehensible, the present application is described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and the detailed description.

Referring to fig. 1, a flow diagram of a method for processing a workflow according to the present application is shown, where the method is applied to an electronic device, a control interface is displayed on a screen of the electronic device, a workflow is displayed on the control interface in a mesh structure, and the workflow includes a plurality of work nodes in a cascade relationship. The method can comprise the following steps:

in step S101, a designated first work node of the plurality of work nodes is acquired.

The workflow of the mesh structure comprises a plurality of working nodes, the working nodes are divided according to a hierarchy, the execution sequence of the working nodes at an upper level is before the execution sequence of the working nodes at a lower level, and a part of the working nodes at the upper level and the adjacent working nodes at the lower level have a cascade relation, that is, after the part of the working nodes at the upper level is successfully executed, the part of the working nodes cascaded with the adjacent lower level can be executed.

Sometimes, a user may focus on a particular work node in a workflow, for example, the user may need to look at work nodes of the particular work node cascade, including work nodes upstream of the particular work node cascade and/or work nodes downstream of the particular work node cascade, to determine which work nodes the particular work node has a cascading relationship with in the workflow.

However, sometimes, there are many working nodes in the workflow, for example, there are thousands of working nodes in the workflow, and the working nodes are divided into a large number of levels, the cascade relationship between the working nodes of different levels may be complicated, if the user manually detects the working node of the specific working node cascade in the workflow, a large labor cost may be consumed, and due to the physiological characteristics of the person, the detection efficiency and the detection accuracy may be low.

Therefore, in order to reduce labor cost and improve detection efficiency and detection accuracy, in the present application, a user may designate the specific work node to the electronic device, and the electronic device receives the specific work node designated by the user and uses it as a first work node, and then executes step S102.

For example, when a certain working node in a workflow is in an abnormal state, it may be that a higher-level working node in the workflow, to which the working node is cascaded, is in the abnormal state. And the working node in the abnormal state may cause a lower working node of the working node cascade in the workflow to be in the abnormal state.

Wherein the abnormal state includes: failure to run, not running, in DQC (Data Quality Check) detection, in freeze, latency triggered, waiting for resource triggered, waiting for manual triggered, and running interrupt, etc.

In the process that the work nodes in the workflow displayed in the mesh structure are sequentially executed according to the execution sequence, if at least one work node is in an abnormal state, the electronic device may display the workflow in the mesh structure on a screen, and mark the work node in the abnormal state in the workflow, so that a user can view the work node in the abnormal state. Wherein the user may focus on the work node in the abnormal state.

In an example, a user may need to determine an upstream working node causing the working node to be abnormal in a workflow, and in a general case, the upstream working node is often in an abnormal state due to the fact that the upstream working node is in the abnormal state.

In another example, a user may need to determine a downstream work node in a workflow, where the downstream work node may cause an abnormality by the work node, and normally, the work node being in an abnormal state may cause a downstream work node of the work node cascade to be in an abnormal state, so that after determining the downstream work node that may cause an abnormality by the work node, the user may timely understand an influence that may be caused by the abnormal state by the work node, and then timely perform corresponding processing on at least the downstream work node, so as to reduce the influence to a smaller degree and avoid causing a larger loss.

In summary, the user needs to know the work node in the workflow that is related to the abnormal state of the work node.

However, sometimes, there are many working nodes in the workflow, for example, there are thousands of working nodes in the workflow, and the working nodes are divided into a large number of levels, the cascade relationship between the working nodes in different levels may be complex, if a user manually detects a working node related to an abnormal state of the working node in the workflow, a large labor cost may be consumed, and due to human physiological characteristics, detection efficiency and detection accuracy may be low.

Therefore, in order to reduce labor cost and improve detection efficiency and detection accuracy, in the present application, after a user sees a marked work node in an abnormal state in a workflow, if the user needs to process a work node related to the abnormal state of one of the work nodes in the abnormal state, the user may submit a request that the user needs to process the work node related to the abnormal state of the work node in the abnormal state to an electronic device, the electronic device may determine, according to the request, that the user needs to process the work node related to the abnormal state of the work node in the abnormal state, determine the work node as a first work node in the abnormal state in the workflow displayed in a mesh structure, and then execute step S102.

In one embodiment of the present application, the second working node associated with the abnormal state of the first working node includes: the upstream working node causing the first working node to be abnormal, the downstream working node possibly causing the abnormality by the first working node and the like.

In step S102, a detection rule is called from a preset rule base.

In the application, a preset rule base may be set in the electronic device in advance, the preset rule base may include a plurality of detection rules, and the electronic device may detect, in a workflow, other work nodes that are cascaded with one work node using the detection rules.

In different needs or scenarios, the electronic device may detect other work nodes cascaded with one work node in the workflow using different detection rules.

For example, the detection rules in the preset rule base include: a detection rule for detecting an upstream working node of a working node cascade and a detection rule for detecting a downstream working node of a working node cascade.

The detection rule for detecting an upstream working node of one working node cascade may also be multiple, and is used in different scenarios, and specifically, reference may be made to the following embodiments, which are not described in detail herein.

According to actual requirements, the detection rules in the preset rule base may also be updated later, for example, a new detection rule is added to the preset rule base, specifically, a user may input an addition request for adding the new detection rule to the preset rule base in the electronic device, and the electronic device receives the addition request for adding the new detection rule to the preset rule base; and then, adding a new detection rule in the preset rule base according to the adding request so that when the work node is detected in the workflow later, the new detection rule can be selected to detect the work node in the workflow in a proper scene so as to improve the detection efficiency, the detection accuracy and the like.

In an application scenario of the application, when a user draws a DAG graph corresponding to a workflow including a plurality of cascaded work nodes on an electronic device, the electronic device may instruct the user to draw the DAG graph based on a detection rule in a preset rule base, so that an error of the DAG graph may be avoided as much as possible, for example, an error of a cascade relationship between the work nodes in the DAG graph may be avoided, and an efficiency of drawing the DAG graph by the user may be improved as much as possible.

In step S103, a second work node cascaded with the first work node is detected in the workflow based on the detection rule.

How to detect the second working node cascaded with the first working node in the workflow based on the detection rule can be referred to the embodiments shown later, and will not be described in detail here.

In step S104, the second work node and the cascade path involving the first work node and the second work node are prompted on the control interface.

In the application, the second work node and the cascade path related to the first work node and the second work node may be directly prompted on the workflow displayed on the control interface, or a new page may be generated on the control interface, and the second work node and the cascade path related to the first work node and the second work node may be prompted on the new page.

In the present application, a designated first worker node of a plurality of worker nodes is obtained. And calling a detection rule from a preset rule base. And detecting a second working node cascaded with the first working node in the workflow based on the detection rule. And prompting the second working node and prompting a cascade path related to the first working node and the second working node on the control interface. Under the conditions that a plurality of working nodes are arranged in a workflow, the working nodes are divided into a plurality of levels, and the cascade relation among the working nodes of different levels is complex, a user can easily locate a second working node cascaded with a first working node.

Detecting a second work node in the workflow in cascade with the first work node includes detecting a second work node in the workflow in cascade upstream of the first work node and detecting a second work node in the workflow in cascade downstream of the first work node, etc.

Therefore, the preset rule base at least comprises a detection rule for detecting an upstream working node of the first working node cascade and a detection rule for detecting a downstream working node of the first working node cascade.

The control interface comprises a first preset control and a second preset control, a user triggers the first preset control to control the electronic device to detect an upstream work node of the first work node cascade in the workflow, and a user triggers the second preset control to control the electronic device to detect a downstream work node of the first work node cascade in the workflow.

Therefore, when a detection rule is called from the preset rule base in step S102, in an embodiment of the present application, a detection rule for detecting an upstream working node of the first working node cascade is called from the preset rule base when a trigger operation for the first preset control displayed on the control interface is received.

In this way, when a second working node cascaded with the first working node is detected in the workflow based on the detection rule, under the condition that the trigger operation of a first preset control displayed on the control interface is received, an upstream working node causing the abnormality of the first working node is detected in the workflow based on the detection rule for detecting the upstream working node cascaded with the first working node, and the upstream working node is used as the second working node.

In the application, at least two detection rules for detecting the upstream working node of the first working node cascade in the preset rule base may be used, and different detection rules for detecting the upstream working node of the first working node cascade may be used in different scenarios.

For example, when a detection rule for detecting an upstream working node of the first working node cascade is called from a preset rule base, the operating state of the first working node may be obtained. And then, according to the running state of the first working node, calling a detection rule for detecting an upstream working node of the first working node cascade from the at least two detection rules.

The operation state of the first working node includes a non-operation success state and a completion time overtime state, and therefore, when the operation state of the first working node is the non-operation success state, the detection rule related to the non-operation success state can be called in the preset rule base, or when the operation state of the first working node is the completion time overtime state, the detection rule related to the completion time overtime state can be called in the preset rule base.

When the operating state of the first working node is a non-operation success state, and an upstream working node causing an abnormality of the first working node is detected in a workflow based on a detection rule for detecting the upstream working node of the first working node cascade, the method may be implemented by the following steps:

11) and detecting the upper-level working node in the non-operation success state in the upper-level working node cascaded by the first working node in the workflow.

The hierarchy to which the upper-level working node of the first working node cascade belongs is different from the hierarchy to which the first working node belongs, the hierarchy to which the upper-level working node of the first working node cascade belongs is earlier than the hierarchy to which the first working node belongs, the hierarchy to which the upper-level working node of the first working node cascade belongs is adjacent to the hierarchy to which the first working node belongs, the upper-level working nodes of the first working node cascade may be multiple, some upper-level working nodes of the cascade are in a non-operation success state, some upper-level working nodes may not be in a non-operation success state, and the upper-level working node in the non-operation success state needs to be detected in the upper-level working node of the first working node cascade.

12) And detecting the next-previous-stage working node in the non-operation successful state in the next-previous-stage working node of the previous-stage working node in the non-operation successful state in the workflow, and so on until the root working node in the non-operation successful state is detected in the root working node in the workflow, and then taking the detected working node in the non-operation successful state as an upstream working node for triggering the first working node to be in the non-operation successful state.

For example, assuming that the first working node is a node a, the hierarchy to which the first working node a belongs is the nth layer, and the hierarchy to which the upper-stage working node of the cascade of the first working node a belongs is the N-1 st layer, a working node B in a non-operation success state is detected among the working nodes of the cascade of the first working node a belonging to the N-1 st layer. Assuming that the hierarchy to which the upper-stage working node of the upper-stage working node B cascade of the first working node a cascade belongs is N-2, the working node C in the non-operation success state can be detected among the working nodes of the working node B cascade belonging to the N-2 th layer. And the like until the root working node M in the non-operation success state is detected in the root working nodes in the workflow. The detected working nodes B, c.

When the operation state of the first working node is the completion time timeout state, and an upstream working node causing the first working node to be abnormal is detected in the workflow based on a detection rule for detecting the upstream working node of the first working node cascade, the method may be implemented by the following steps:

21) and determining whether the overtime state of the completion time of the first working node is caused by an upstream working node of the first working node.

The reason why the working node is in the completion time overtime state usually includes two aspects, on one hand, the reason is caused by that the upstream working node of the working node cascade is in the completion time overtime state, for example, under a normal condition, the upstream working node of the working node cascade can be operated after being operated, and on the other hand, the reason is caused by the working node itself.

In the case caused by the worker node itself, it is often the case that the worker node is involved in a larger amount of data that needs to be processed than expected and/or the worker node can use less system resources than expected.

Therefore, if the data volume of the data which needs to be processed and is related to the working node is larger than the expected data volume, and/or the system resources which can be used by the working node are less than the expected system resources, it indicates that the working node is caused by the working node itself when being in the completion time overtime state, otherwise, the working node is caused by the completion time overtime state of the upstream working node of the working node cascade.

The predicted system resources and the predicted data amount may be determined according to actual situations, and the present application is not limited thereto.

22) And under the condition of being caused by an upstream working node of the first working node, detecting the previous working node in the overtime state at the completion time in the previous working node cascaded by the first working node in the workflow.

The hierarchy of the upper-level working node of the first working node cascade is different from the hierarchy of the first working node, the hierarchy of the upper-level working node of the first working node cascade is earlier than the hierarchy of the first working node and is adjacent to the hierarchy of the first working node, the upper-level working nodes of the first working node cascade may be multiple, some of the upper-level working nodes of the cascade may be in the completion time overtime state, some of the upper-level working nodes may not be in the completion time overtime state, and the upper-level working node in the completion time overtime state needs to be detected in the upper-level working node of the first working node cascade.

23) And determining whether the completion time overtime state of the previous-stage working node in the completion time overtime state is caused by the next previous-stage working node of the previous-stage working node in the completion time overtime state.

24) And under the condition that the completion time overtime state of the previous working node in the completion time overtime state is caused by a next previous working node of the previous working node in the completion time overtime state, detecting the next previous working node in the completion time overtime state in the next previous working node of the previous working node in the completion time overtime state, and so on until a root working node in the completion time overtime state is detected in the root working node in the workflow, and then taking the detected working node in the completion time overtime state as an upstream working node for causing the first working node to be in the completion time overtime state.

For example, assuming that the first working node is a node a, the hierarchy to which the first working node a belongs is an nth layer, and the hierarchy to which the previous working node of the first working node a cascade belongs is an N-1 st layer, a working node B in a completion time timeout state is detected among the working nodes of the first working node a cascade belonging to the N-1 st layer. Assuming that the hierarchy to which the upper-level working node of the upper-level working node B cascade of the first working node a cascade belongs is N-2, the working node C in the time-out state at the completion time can be detected among the working nodes of the working node B cascade belonging to the N-2 th layer. And the like until the root working node M in the overtime state of the completion moment is detected in the root working nodes in the workflow. And then taking the detected working nodes B, C.

In addition, when the second working node and the cascade path related to the first working node and the second working node are prompted on the control interface in step S104, the reason that the state of the first working node is the timeout state at the completion time and the reason that the state of each second working node is the timeout state at the completion time can also be displayed, so that the user can check the reasons and solve the problem of timeout at the completion time as early as possible.

In the present application, sometimes, there are many working nodes in a workflow, for example, there are thousands of working nodes in the workflow, and the working nodes are further divided into a large number of levels, and the cascade relationship between the working nodes of different levels is complicated. The upstream work nodes causing the first work node exception may be many, and the upstream work nodes causing the first work node exception are distributed at multiple levels upstream, so that if all the upstream work nodes causing the first work node exception are detected in the workflow, more system resources of the electronic equipment and longer time are consumed.

Since a long time is consumed, the user may wait for a long time before seeing the prompted second work node, which may reduce the user experience.

Therefore, in order to avoid the above situation, in another embodiment of the present application, detecting an upstream work node causing an abnormality of a first work node in a workflow based on a detection rule for detecting the upstream work node of a cascade of the first work node includes:

31) the number of worker nodes upstream of the first worker node is counted in the workflow.

32) And determining the range of the hierarchy to be detected of the working nodes according to the number.

The hierarchy range to be detected may be used to indicate that a second working node of at most several hierarchies upstream of the first working node is detected.

For example, if the number is greater than 10000, the range of the hierarchy to be detected of the upstream working node may be 3 layers, that is, a second working node of at most 3 layers upstream of the first working node may be detected.

For another example, if the number is less than or equal to 10000, the range of the hierarchy to be detected of the upstream working node may be 6 layers, that is, the second working node of at most 6 levels upstream of the first working node may be detected.

In the present application, a correspondence relationship between the number of the work nodes and the detection hierarchy range of the work nodes may be set in advance, and in the correspondence relationship, a larger number corresponds to a smaller detection hierarchy range. A smaller number corresponds to a larger detection hierarchy.

In this way, in this step, the detection hierarchy range corresponding to the number of the working nodes can be searched in the correspondence relationship between the number of the working nodes and the detection hierarchy range of the working nodes, and the detection hierarchy range can be used as the detection hierarchy range to be detected.

33) And in the workflow, determining candidate working nodes which are positioned at the upstream of the first working node and are in the range of the hierarchy to be detected.

34) And detecting an upstream working node causing the abnormality of the first working node in the candidate working nodes.

By the method and the device, the hierarchy range to be detected of the upstream working nodes can be determined according to the quantity, so that when the upstream working nodes causing the first working node abnormity are detected in the workflow, all the upstream working nodes causing the first working node abnormity are prevented from being detected, the detection range can be properly reduced, and system resources of electronic equipment and time consumed by detection can be saved.

Due to the fact that the time consumed by detection is reduced, the user can see a part of the second working nodes of the prompt by waiting for less time, and therefore user experience can be improved.

Further, in the case that the upstream working nodes detected in the hierarchy range to be detected are not all the upstream working nodes causing the abnormality of the first working node, if the user needs to continuously check other upstream working nodes causing the first working node to be abnormal, the user can manually trigger the electronic device to continuously detect other working nodes causing the first working node to be abnormal in the workflow (excluding the upstream working nodes causing the first working node to be abnormal and detected in the candidate working nodes), and trigger the electronic device to prompt other working nodes causing the first working node to be abnormal, and prompting the cascade paths between the first working node and all the detected upstream working nodes, so that the user can see all the upstream working nodes causing the abnormality of the first working node and the cascade paths between the first working node and all the detected upstream working nodes.

Further, after the second working node is prompted on the control interface and the cascade path involving the first working node and the second working node is prompted, the electronic device may further determine the root working node causing the first working node to be abnormal in the second working node, and then prompt the root working node on the control interface to prompt the user of the root working node causing the first working node to be abnormal, so that the user may determine the root cause causing the first working node to be abnormal more easily, and the user may solve the abnormality.

When a detection rule is called from the preset rule base in step S102, in an embodiment of the present application, a detection rule for detecting a downstream working node of the first working node cascade is called from the preset rule base when a trigger operation for a second preset control displayed on the control interface is received.

In this way, when a second working node cascaded with the first working node is detected in the workflow based on the detection rule, under the condition that a trigger operation of a second preset control displayed on the control interface is received, a downstream working node caused by the abnormality of the first working node is detected in the workflow based on the detection rule for detecting the downstream working node cascaded with the first working node, and the downstream working node is used as the second working node.

Based on a detection rule for detecting a downstream work node of the first work node cascade, when a downstream work node caused by an abnormality by the first work node is detected in a workflow, the following process is performed, including:

41) and detecting the next-stage working node of the first working node cascade in the workflow.

The hierarchy to which the next-stage working node of the first working node cascade belongs is different from the hierarchy to which the first working node belongs, the hierarchy to which the next-stage working node of the first working node cascade belongs is earlier than the hierarchy to which the first working node belongs, the hierarchy to which the next-stage working node of the first working node cascade belongs is adjacent to the hierarchy to which the first working node belongs, the number of the next-stage working nodes of the first working node cascade may be multiple, and the first working node in an abnormal state may affect all the next-stage working nodes of the first working node cascade, so that the next-stage working node of the first working node cascade can be detected in a workflow.

42) And detecting the next working node of the next working node cascade of the first working node cascade in the workflow, and so on until the bottom working node of the cascade is detected in the workflow, and then taking the detected working node as the downstream working node which is caused by the abnormality of the first working node.

For example, if the first working node is a node a, the level to which the first working node a belongs is the nth layer, and the level to which the next working node of the first working node a cascade belongs is the N +1 th layer, the working node belonging to the N +1 th layer and the first working node a cascade is a working node H. Assuming that the hierarchy to which the next-stage working node of the next-stage working node H cascade of the first working node a cascade belongs is N +2 layers, the working node J may be detected from the working nodes of the first working node H cascade belonging to the N +2 th layer. And so on until a working node Q of the cascade (the first working node A indirectly cascades) is detected in the bottom working nodes in the workflow. And then, the detected working nodes H, J.

In the present application, sometimes, there are many working nodes in a workflow, for example, there are thousands of working nodes in the workflow, and the working nodes are further divided into a large number of levels, and the cascade relationship between the working nodes of different levels is complicated. There may be many downstream worker nodes that raise an exception by the first worker node, and the downstream worker nodes that raise an exception by the first worker node are spread across multiple levels downstream, such that if all downstream worker nodes that raise an exception by the first worker node are detected in the workflow, more system resources and longer time are consumed by the electronic device.

Therefore, in order to avoid the above situation, in another embodiment of the present application, when detecting a downstream work node causing an abnormality by a first work node in a workflow based on a detection rule for detecting the downstream work node of the first work node cascade, the following process may be implemented, including:

51) the number of work nodes downstream from the first work node is counted in the workflow.

52) And determining the range of the hierarchy to be detected of the working nodes according to the number.

The hierarchy range to be detected may be used to indicate that a second working node of at most several levels downstream of the first working node is detected.

For example, if the number is greater than 10000, the range of the hierarchy to be detected of the downstream working node may be 3 layers, that is, a second working node downstream of the first working node may be detected by at most 3 layers.

For another example, assuming that the number is less than or equal to 10000, the range of the hierarchy to be detected of the downstream working node may be 6 layers, that is, a second working node of at most 6 levels downstream of the first working node may be detected.

In this way, in this step, the detection hierarchy range corresponding to the number of the working nodes can be searched in the correspondence relationship between the number of the working nodes and the detection hierarchy range of the working nodes, and the detection hierarchy range is used as the hierarchy range to be detected.

53) And in the workflow, determining candidate working nodes which are positioned at the downstream of the first working node and are in the range of the hierarchy to be detected.

54) And detecting the downstream working node caused by the abnormality of the first working node in the candidate working nodes.

By the method and the device, the hierarchy range to be detected of the downstream working nodes can be determined according to the quantity, so that when the downstream working nodes caused by the abnormality of the first working node are detected in the workflow, all the downstream working nodes caused by the abnormality of the first working node are prevented from being detected, the detection range can be properly reduced, and system resources of electronic equipment and time consumed by detection can be saved.

Further, in the case that the downstream working nodes detected in the hierarchy range to be detected are not all the downstream working nodes for which the abnormality is caused by the first working node, if the user needs to continuously check other downstream working nodes caused by the first working node, the user can manually trigger the electronic device to continuously detect other downstream working nodes caused by the first working node in the workflow (excluding the downstream working nodes caused by the first working node and detected in the candidate working nodes), and triggers the electronic device to prompt other downstream working nodes which are caused to be abnormal by the first working node, and prompting the cascade path between the first working node and all the detected downstream working nodes, so that the user can see all downstream working nodes for which the first working node causes an exception and the cascade path between the first working node and all downstream working nodes detected.

Further, after the user views the second work node and the cascade path involving the first work node and the second work node, the user may no longer need to view the second work node and the cascade path involving the first work node and the second work node, that is, the electronic device does not need to continue to prompt the second work node and the cascade path involving the first work node and the second work node on the manipulation interface.

In this case. The user may control the electronic device to cancel the prompt for the second work node and the cascade path involving the first work node and the second work node.

Specifically, the electronic device may display a third preset control on the control interface, and the user may trigger the third preset control to control the electronic device to cancel prompting the second work node and a cascade path involving the first work node and the second work node.

Therefore, under the condition that the triggering operation of the third preset control displayed on the control interface is received, the electronic equipment cancels the prompt of the second working node and the cascade path involving the first working node and the second working node on the control interface.

In this application, when the second working node is prompted on the manipulation interface in step S104 and a cascade path involving the first working node and the second working node is prompted, at least the following embodiments may be implemented.

In an embodiment of the application, a circumscribed rectangular frame of the second working node may be constructed in the workflow displayed on the control interface, so that the user may easily locate the second working node in the workflow displayed in the mesh structure according to the circumscribed rectangular frame. And changing the display form of the connecting line between the second working nodes and the display form of the connecting line between the first working node and the second working node. The display form of the connecting line at least comprises a display color and a display size, so that a user can easily determine the cascade path involving the first working node and the second working node according to the display form of the connecting line.

In another embodiment of the present application, in the workflow displayed on the manipulation interface, the display state of the second work node may be set to be different from the display states of other work nodes in the workflow except the second work node, where the display states at least include a display size, a display color, and a display hierarchy, and by the difference in display styles, a user may easily locate the second work node in the workflow displayed in a mesh structure. And changing the display form of the connecting line between the second working nodes and the display form of the connecting line between the first working node and the second working node, so that a user can easily determine the cascade path related to the first working node and the second working node according to the display form of the connecting line.

For the display hierarchy, the second working node may be displayed in a protruding manner, or displayed in a three-dimensional manner.

In another embodiment of the present application, the second work node may be controlled to flash in the workflow displayed on the control interface, wherein the other work nodes except the second work node are continuously displayed, and the second work node is flash displayed, so that the second work node may be easily located in the workflow displayed in the mesh structure by the user through the display manner of the flash display. And changing the display form of the connecting line between the second working nodes and the display form of the connecting line between the first working node and the second working node, so that a user can easily determine the cascade path related to the first working node and the second working node according to the display form of the connecting line.

In yet another embodiment of the present application, a temporary workflow including a first work node, a second work node, and a cascade path involving the first work node and the second work node may be generated, and the temporary workflow is displayed on a control interface, where only the first work node, the second work node, and the cascade path involving the first work node and the second work node are included in the temporary workflow, so that a user is not interfered by other work nodes in the workflow, and the user may easily locate the second work node, a cascade relationship between the first work node and the second work node, and the like.

It should be noted that, in the present application, the cascade relationship between the first working node and the second working node includes: the direct cascade relationship between the first working node and the second working node of the adjacent hierarchy, the indirect cascade relationship between the first working node and the second working node of the non-adjacent hierarchy, and the like may also be included.

In one embodiment of the present application, the number of the second working nodes cascaded with the first working node is plural. And a second worker node in cascade with the first worker node is spread over multiple levels in the workflow.

Thus, when the second working nodes are prompted, in one mode, the second working nodes can be displayed on the screen of the electronic device in a tiled mode, but since the second working nodes are multiple and the size of the screen of the electronic device is often limited, all the second working nodes cannot be displayed on the screen of the electronic device at the same time, only part of the second working nodes can be displayed at a time, and if a user needs to check other second working nodes, the screen needs to be dragged, so that the electronic device displays other second working nodes on the screen, but the operation difficulty is greater for the user. In addition, in the above manner, more work nodes need to be rendered on the screen at one time, and the more work nodes are rendered on the screen at one time, which may occupy more system resources of the electronic device.

Therefore, in order to avoid the above problem, in another embodiment of the present application, when prompting the second work node and prompting a cascade path involving the first work node and the second work node on the manipulation interface, the following processes may be implemented, including:

61) and displaying options of a plurality of aggregation dimensions on the control interface.

Options for aggregating dimensions include: the dimension of the person responsible for the work node, the dimension of the project/workspace to which the work node belongs, and the dimension of the priority of the work node, etc. Of course, the dimension of the running state of the working node may also be included, and the running state includes: non-running, waiting for time triggering, waiting for resource triggering, waiting for manual triggering, running success, running failure, running, and the like.

The user may select an option to aggregate dimensions on the manipulation interface so that the electronic device may aggregate the second work nodes according to the aggregate dimensions.

62) And acquiring attribute information of each second working node in the plurality of second working nodes on one aggregation dimension under the condition of receiving a selection operation of one option of the plurality of options of the aggregation dimension.

63) And classifying the plurality of second working nodes at least according to the attribute information to obtain at least two working node sets.

In an embodiment, for any obtained attribute information, the second working nodes corresponding to the attribute information may be combined into one working node set in a plurality of second working nodes, and the same is true for each obtained other attribute information.

Or, in another embodiment, there are a plurality of second working nodes cascaded with the first working node, and the second working nodes cascaded with the first working node are distributed over a plurality of levels in the workflow, so that, in order to make it easier for a user to distinguish the second working nodes belonging to different levels, a hierarchical classification option may be displayed on the control interface, and the user may input a trigger operation of the hierarchical classification option to control the electronic device to perform hierarchical classification on the second working nodes.

For example, upon receiving a triggering operation that bisects the hierarchical classification option, the electronic device may determine a hierarchy to which each of the plurality of second work nodes belongs in the workflow.

Then, for a second working node belonging to any one hierarchy, the second working nodes belonging to the hierarchy may be classified according to attribute information of the second working node belonging to the hierarchy to obtain at least two working node sets, for example, for any one obtained attribute information, if a working node corresponding to the attribute information exists in the second working node belonging to the hierarchy, the second working nodes corresponding to the attribute information may be combined into one working node set in the second working node belonging to the hierarchy, and the same is true for each obtained other attribute information.

The same is true for the second working nodes belonging to each of the other hierarchical levels.

64) And for each working node set, generating virtual aggregation nodes of the working node set according to the attribute information of the working node set and the number of the included working nodes.

In this step, for any one working node set, a virtual aggregation node of the working node set may be generated according to the attribute information of the working node set and the number of working nodes included in the working node set, and the above operations are performed for each of the other working node sets, so as to obtain a virtual aggregation node of each working node set.

65) And acquiring the cascade path among the virtual aggregation nodes.

66) And respectively displaying each virtual aggregation node and the cascade path between each virtual aggregation node on the control interface.

Specifically, in this step, a connection line for representing the cascade relationship between the virtual aggregation node and the second working node of the next upper stage, a connection line for representing the cascade relationship between the virtual aggregation node and the second working node of the next lower stage, and the like may be drawn on the control interface.

The virtual aggregation nodes are generated according to the attribute information of the working node set and the number of the working nodes included in the working node set, so that a user can see the attribute information and the number after seeing the virtual aggregation nodes, and the attribute information of the working node set corresponding to the virtual aggregation nodes and the number of the working nodes in the working node set can be determined according to the attribute information and the number.

When the virtual aggregation nodes and the cascade paths between the virtual aggregation nodes are respectively displayed on the control interface, a temporary workflow including the virtual aggregation nodes and the cascade paths between the virtual aggregation nodes may be generated, and the temporary workflow is displayed on the control interface. The temporary workflow only includes each virtual aggregation node and the cascade path between each virtual aggregation node, so that a user is not interfered by other working nodes in the workflow, and the user can easily locate the cascade relationship between the virtual aggregation nodes and the cascade path between the virtual aggregation nodes.

Further, after each virtual aggregation node and the cascade path between each virtual aggregation node are respectively displayed on the control interface, a user can see the virtual aggregation node but cannot see each second working node included in the virtual aggregation node, if the user needs to see each second working node included in one virtual aggregation node, the user can input a trigger operation on the displayed one virtual aggregation node on the electronic device, and the trigger operation includes a click operation or a long-press operation and the like.

When the electronic device receives a trigger operation on the displayed one virtual aggregation node, it may determine a working node set corresponding to the one virtual aggregation node, and then display second working nodes included in the working node set corresponding to the one virtual aggregation node, for example, the second working nodes included in the working node set corresponding to the one virtual aggregation node may be displayed in a list form, so that a user may view each second working node included in the one virtual aggregation node.

Further, after a second working node included in the working node set corresponding to one virtual aggregation node is displayed on the control interface, if a user needs to pay attention to a certain second working node included in the working node set corresponding to the one virtual aggregation node, the user may input a trigger operation on the displayed second working node included in the working node set corresponding to the one virtual aggregation node on the electronic device, where the trigger operation includes a click operation or a long-time press operation.

When the electronic device receives a trigger operation on the second working node included in the working node set corresponding to the virtual aggregation node, the workflow can be displayed in a skipping mode on the control interface, the second working node can be prompted on the control interface, a cascade path involving the first working node and the second working node can be prompted, and therefore a user can conveniently know the position of the second working node in the workflow and the like.

The specific prompting manner for prompting the second working node and prompting the cascade path involving the first working node and the second working node on the control interface may refer to the manner described in the foregoing embodiment, which is not described in detail herein.

Or, in a case that the electronic device receives a trigger operation on the one second working node included in the working node set corresponding to the one virtual aggregation node, at least detail information of the one second working node may be displayed on the control interface, where the detail information includes: attribute information, context information, a log of operations, and computer program code of a second worker node for viewing by a user.

In the application, a work flow displayed in a mesh structure may include a card of each work node, and the card of the work node may include a status identifier of the work node and a name of the work node, for identifying the status of the work node.

The states of the working nodes include: failed run, not run, DQC detect, freeze, wait time trigger, wait resource trigger, wait manual trigger, run, and so on.

The state identities of the different states of the working node are different.

The card of the work node may further include a type of the work node (e.g., a computer program language on which the computer program code of the work node is based), a node sequence, and information indicating whether the work node spans an item.

In one embodiment of the present application, there are a plurality of downstream work nodes detected as having an abnormality caused by the first work node. And downstream worker nodes that are caused to be anomalous by the first worker node are spread out over multiple levels downstream.

Thus, when the second working node is prompted, in one mode, the downstream working nodes can be displayed on the screen of the electronic device in a tiled mode, but since the downstream working nodes are multiple and the size of the screen of the electronic device is often limited, all the downstream working nodes cannot be displayed on the screen of the electronic device at the same time, only part of the downstream working nodes can be displayed at a time, and if a user needs to check other downstream working nodes, the screen needs to be dragged to enable the electronic device to display other downstream nodes on the screen, but the operation difficulty is high for the user. In addition, in the medical science, all the work nodes need to be rendered at one time, and the system resources of the electronic equipment are occupied by the rendering of all the work nodes at one time.

Therefore, in order to avoid the above problem, in another embodiment of the present application, when the second working node is prompted, the following process may be performed, including:

in another embodiment, there are a plurality of downstream work nodes causing an exception by the first work node, and the downstream work nodes causing an exception by the first work node are distributed over a plurality of levels downstream, so that, in order to make it easier for a user to distinguish second work nodes belonging to different levels, a level to which each of the plurality of second work nodes belongs in the workflow may be determined.

Then, for the second working nodes belonging to any one hierarchy, the second working nodes belonging to the hierarchy may be grouped to obtain at least two groups of working node sets. The same is true for the second working nodes belonging to each of the other hierarchical levels.

And for each working node set, generating a virtual combined node of the working node set according to the number of the working nodes included in the working node set.

For example, for any one working node set, a virtual combination node of the working node set may be generated according to the number of working nodes included in the working node set, and for each of the other working node sets, the above operations are also performed, so as to obtain a virtual combination node of each working node set respectively.

The virtual composite nodes of the respective working node sets may then be displayed separately.

Because the virtual combination nodes are generated according to the number of the working nodes included in the working node set, after the user sees the virtual combination nodes, the user can see the number, and thus the number of the working node sets corresponding to the virtual combination nodes can be determined according to the number.

Further, a connection line for representing the cascade relationship between the virtual combination node and the second working node of the adjacent upper stage may be drawn, and a connection line for representing the cascade relationship between the virtual combination node and the second working node of the adjacent lower stage may be drawn.

In an embodiment of the present application, in a case that the number of the working nodes included in the virtual combined node is large, if a user needs to view the working nodes included in the virtual combined node, in order to simultaneously display more working nodes included in the virtual combined node on a screen of the electronic device as much as possible, so as to show more working nodes included in the virtual combined node on a screen with a limited size more comprehensively, content on cards of the working nodes included in the virtual combined node may be simplified, for example, only status identifiers on the cards of the working nodes are retained, and a size of the status identifiers may be reduced, status identifiers of the working nodes included in the virtual combined node may be sorted, for example, sorted according to a node sequence, and the like.

In an alternative embodiment, circles may be used as the status markers, and circles of different colors may correspond to different status markers. The default size of the circle may be determined in advance according to actual situations, and will not be described in detail here.

When a user needs to view the detailed information of a certain working node, the user can stop the cursor on the card of the working node, and then the electronic equipment can display the detailed information of the working node for the user to view.
