Detailed Description
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the description is only exemplary and is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. In the following detailed description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure. It may be evident, however, that one or more embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. In addition, in the following description, descriptions of well-known structures and techniques are omitted so as not to unnecessarily obscure the concepts of the present disclosure.
The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the disclosure. The terms "comprises," "comprising," and/or the like, as used herein, specify the presence of stated features, steps, operations, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, or components.
All terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art unless otherwise defined. It should be noted that the terms used herein should be construed to have meanings consistent with the context of the present specification and should not be construed in an idealized or overly formal manner.
Where expressions like at least one of "A, B and C, etc. are used, the expressions should generally be interpreted in accordance with the meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art (e.g.," a system having at least one of A, B and C "shall include, but not be limited to, a system having a alone, B alone, C alone, a and B together, a and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, C together, etc.).
In the context of an automated process, process instances are typically executed according to a predefined process. However, during execution of the flow instance, there often occurs a need for temporary modification of the flow definition.
For example, in the existing business approval process, when a manager approves nodes, special reasons may need to be introduced into other nodes (such as a president approval node) for approval, and at this time, the current flow needs to be modified by using a dynamic modification flow definition function, namely: after the manager approves the nodes, a president approval node is temporarily added.
And then, if the approval result is not passed, submitting a new approval request through the submitting application node, and returning to the manager approval node again. At this time, if the president approval node is not deleted, the president approval task will always exist, and each time the loop of the flow instance is executed, the error in the flow is caused.
In order to solve such a problem, the related art is generally implemented by adding an exclusive gateway or the like.
In the process of implementing the disclosed concept, the inventor finds that at least the following problems exist in the related art: at present, when a temporary modification is needed to the flow definition in the execution process of the flow instance, the temporary modification is generally avoided by adding a gateway with an auxiliary function (such as an exclusive gateway) and other modes, but the complexity of the flow definition is increased by the method, so that the maintenance difficulty of the flow definition file is increased.

The flow dynamic modification method comprises the steps of responding to a flow modification request generated by a first processing node under the condition that a first flow instance is executed according to an initial definition flow, and suspending execution of the first flow instance, wherein the initial definition flow comprises the first processing node and a second processing node, the second processing node is a downstream node of the first processing node, and the flow modification request comprises attribute information of a target temporary processing node; and generating a target definition flow according to the attribute information and the initial definition flow, so that the target temporary processing node corresponding to the attribute information executes the first flow instance according to the target definition flow, wherein the target definition flow comprises a target temporary processing node and a second processing node, and the second processing node is a downstream node of the target temporary processing node.

If the approval is not passed, the data such as the approval material is returned to the filing application node 302 to be resubmitted.
Fig. 4 schematically illustrates a schematic diagram of modification of an initial definition flow according to an embodiment of the disclosure.
As shown in fig. 4, the initial definition flow includes a start node 401, a submit application node 402, an approval node 403, a gateway node 404, and an end node 405.
