Abstract
A data processing system and method is present which can be used to configure or develop software. The present invention finds particular application in the design of scalable business systems in which a plurality of program code entities or objects are progressively constructed to computerise a business process. A problem associated with current object-oriented programming technologies is the inflexibility of the interface between objects. This inflexibility arises from the direct parameter or message passing paradigms upon which such languages use in order to produce re-usable software. However, this approach presents problems which software has to be re-developed, in particular, when the order of execution of objects implementing various functions has to be changed. Such a change to the order of execution invariably requires modification to the code and parameter or message passing interfaces implementing the objects or program entities. Those changes will also require recompilation and relinking before the overall business process can be implemented. Accordingly, the present invention provides a data processing system or method comprising memory for storing a plurality of executable entities, means for establishing an order of execution of selectable ones of the executable entities, and means for executing the selected executable entities according to said order without modification of said selected executable entities.

With reference to Fig. 2 a, this figure schematically shows the structure and the working condition of traditional computer software.Comprise a plurality of executable entities 202 to 208 such as business procedures 200 such as remote sale processes, each can carry out the specific function that entity is carried out remote sale business procedure 200.For example, first can carry out entity 202 permission software users selections or input customer information.Second can carry out entity 204 allows the article of users' input and customer requirement or serves relevant circuit or the purchase order information ordered.Order circuit and can comprise item code, the item description that is used to discern the forward purchasing project and the number of entry that will assign or order.The 3rd can carry out entity 206 is used to import the cost information relevant with various orders, and the last entity carried out 208 is finished and ordered operation.
In order to interact with the adjacent entity carried out, each can be carried out entity and transmit parameter P1 to P6 each other.Therefore, mother can carry out entity, for example can carry out entity 202, must know that son can carry out entity 204 and need which parameter, so that the latter carries out correct execution.
Should be appreciated that, revise the processing order of remote sale process if desired, so will be to software, particularly to carrying out the parameter or the bigger change of interface do of transmitting between the entity.For example, if when carrying out business procedure, comprise that following two can be carried out entity, an entity requires the information relevant with the Shipping Address of order item, another entity requires the information relevant with corresponding fare, and business procedure is carried out by this order, must or wish change processing order then,, must guarantee so that the entity carried out such as " selection fare " sends parameter to can carry out entity " selection Shipping Address " so that before the input Shipping Address, determine fare.For example, can the indication of Shipping Address be sent to the function of needs or definite fare with existing system.
Can also require to change the method that to carry out entity.
Generally, in OO environment to software rearrangement or re-construct and have special difficulty.With reference to Fig. 2 b, this figure schematically shows subclass 210 and 212 inheritance and derivations for female class 214.Must determine the interface I between each object
12And I
23, so that pass through interface I
12And I
23Data are sent to each layer of object.Can not rearrange object according to Fig. 2 c, in Fig. 2 c, female object 216 is objects 2, and deriving from object 218 and 220 is respectively object 3 and object 1, but the interface I between class definition and these objects
32And I
13Do not change, not that is to say, do not change and do not recompilate foundation code.
With reference to Fig. 3, this figure schematically shows according to remote sale business procedure 300 of the present invention, it comprises a plurality of 302 to 308 and parameter regions of entity or objects 310 carried out, and wherein parameter region or object 310 are used to store by carrying out the data that entity 302 to 308 produces and/or operates.The execution order that can carry out entity 302 to 308 has constituted remote sale business procedure 300, can be easy to change this order, and not need to change concomitantly and can carry out entity 302 to 308.
It is self-contained can carrying out entity, and comprises easy operation and do not need the further method of compiling, and perhaps another kind of situation is if used a kind of interpretative code, then to comprise the method for explaining immediately easily.Can carry out entity can be, but is not limited to an object, function, another kind of self-contained program or a DLL task.
Object maybe can be carried out entity and comprise a plurality of unit.Each unit has unique, relative authentication code.
Below, table 2 shows the pseudo-code that can carry out physical embodiment.
The DLL name:: class name; Unique identifier
Carry out; Be used to call the manner of execution of entity
Preview; The method for previewing that is used to test
Additive method; The method of calling from " execution " is used for determining the behavior of each entity.
Table 2
The DLL name is represented dynamic link library, and it comprises the class definition that object maybe can be carried out entity." execution " expression and the interface that can carry out entity.Can carry out entity for all, the interface has common form, so that the consistent mode that can carry out entity is called or carried out in expression." preview " allows to utilize carefree test data and is independent of any other entity and carry out an entity isolatedly." execution " calls " other method ", and further defines the behavior of object.
Should be appreciated that in distributed system, can carry out entity can all not reside on individual server or the machine.Therefore, can realize a kind of like this embodiment, in this embodiment, the unique identifier that can carry out entity class definition also comprises the indication of server, resident the DLL that comprises class definition on this server.
Each object returns in many final state at least when carrying out.Final state is represented the execution result of related object, and determines to carry out after this can carry out entity which execution route.This can carry out in the whole business procedure of entity in arrangement, has managed control stream.
For example, can present a dialog box to the user, this dialog box comprises many options, and invites and select an option.Final state is by being determined by option, and therefore determines the entity carried out that the next one will be carried out.
In addition, each can be carried out entity and has a relevant connection array.Each final state exists one to connect or link.
The execution that great majority can be carried out entity can be independent of any remaining can carry out entity.
Each can carry out entity by the required data of parameter region 310 visit proper operations.Parameter region is extendible data structure, can increase, upgrade or delete the data or the object of all size and type to this data structure.Utilization is called the Visual Basic order of New Collection and dynamically creates parameter region 310.The operation of this order is well known in the art, and in the 4th edition online reference manual of MicroSoft Visual Basic further detailed description is arranged, and its whole contents is by being included in this with reference to quoting.
Can carry out entity and pass through with Visual Basic function G et Parameter call parameters district, the value of a visit and a parameter correlation, wherein Get Parameter function is used as a key with parameter identifier.Get Parameter function returns the value relevant with this parameter or key.
For example, if can carry out entity O
3Require visit and parameter P
4Relevant value D, calling so to parameter region 310 with regulation " P
4" be parameter.Parameter region 310 is parameter P
4Correlation D return to the entity the carried out O that calls
3
Such as the business procedure by 300 definition of remote sale process, it can carry out entity 302 to 308 can visit this parameter region usually.As can be seen, can carry out entity and not according to the programmed method of routine or according to the OO technology of routine, directly swap data.But according to the parameter region of entity by the universal access swap data indirectly of carrying out of the present invention.Therefore, no longer require to transmit parameter between the entity can carrying out.
As in the result that can carry out indirect exchange data between the entity, change can be carried out the execution order or the order of entity not necessarily can carry out entity corresponding to changing.This with prior art in used direct interface and parameter to transmit technology opposite.
In one embodiment, preferably provide one to carry out engine, this execution engine activates according to the execution order by each link regulation and carries out a plurality of entities of carrying out.
Carrying out engine can carry out entity for each request or every example and set up an identifier or handle.Be used to visit and activate the method that execution can be carried out entity with this handle or identifier.
Can carry out entity carries out as " Visual Basic object ".Carry out the method that engine " ExecuteElemen.Execute " calls all objects, suppose that here a routine object is called " ExecuteElement ", and the method for object is called " execution ".
" the Visual Basic intelligence-collecting object " equipment of utilization is carried out a business procedure." intelligence-collecting object " can carry out the entity that entity produces a complexity from better simply.Those skilled in the art will readily understand the working condition of " VisualBasic intelligence-collecting object ", and the 4th edition online reference manual of Visual Basic there is further description to this.Also can utilize one " intelligence-collecting object " to realize parameter region.Another kind method is, utilizes a simple two-dimensional array and is used to search for this array so that the device of retrieve data is therefrom realized parameter region.
Each can be carried out " executions " method in the entity and activate and carry out this object, and permission can be carried out entity public interfacial structure is offered the execution engine.
Because each object of business procedure provides public interfacial structure, can activate and carry out all or any object that is independent of the performed function of this object so carry out engine.
In addition, because parameter region stored and can carry out entity or the required data of its method, do not need these data or parameter passed to and to carry out entity so carry out engine.
In addition, owing to use outside or discrete data or parameter region (that is, the intelligence-collecting object of Visual Basic) can be exempted between all objects and transmit parameter, so needn't be directly transmit parameter between the entity can carrying out.
Can carry out entity with one and link to each other, or logically follow by them with other a plurality of entities of carrying out.Determine the entity that the next one will be carried out according to the current execution result of carrying out entity.Each can be carried out entity and produce a final state when finishing, and which the expression next one should carry out can be carried out entity, that is to say link of this final state sign, the next entity carried out that will be performed of guiding.Final state can be a simple numerical, and is perhaps more common, can be the unit of an enumeration.
Every link has a relative identifier, and each can carry out entity and comprise a data structure, and such as chained list or chain type array, this data structure comprises the link identifier of therefrom deriving.Carry out engine and come control and treatment stream according to the final state of returning or being produced.In some cases, can carry out entity one dialog box can be provided for the user of data handling system, this dialog box requires the user to select a process at least from a plurality of preferable processes.Then, the input content determined followed by link, and determine the entity carried out that the next one will be performed thus.
Be appreciated that a business procedure comprises a plurality of entities of carrying out, all can be carried out entity and interconnect, and formation can be carried out the complex figure or the network of entity.Carrying out business procedure preferably should begin by first entity from figure.Initial entity is represented relevant with its type.Entity type comprises " initial " and " end " type, and they represent that respectively the entity of being correlated with is first or an initial entity of business procedure, or the end of business procedure or termination entity.
Be positioned on start node or the entity in case carry out engine, just can begin to carry out this initial entity, and whole business procedure.
Equally, in a possible execution route that runs through the figure that is connected entity, the last entity carried out is loaded with an identifier, and this identifier specifies this can carry out entity for finishing or the termination entity.Should be appreciated that the figure that can carry out entity will have a termination node at least, and in many cases, can have a plurality of terminations or finish entity.
The handle that the execution engine utilizes an example can carry out entity identifies or visits can carry out entity, and as mentioned above, utilizes this handle to activate the method for carrying out this entity.When this entity is carried out end, determine final state, determine the link relevant, and also determine the entity carried out that the next one will be carried out thus with this final state.
To the processing of the figure that can carry out entity or traverse and continue,, at this moment handle stopping until the entity of finishing " end " type.
Selectively, each can be carried out entity and comprise another kind of type, is called the connection mode type, and the type is further managed the behavior of this entity.The connection mode type can be got in two values " immediately " or " being scheduled to ".The purpose of these types is to determine will begin in a minute when an entity is carried out termination and carry out next entity, or carry out next entity after one period schedule time or in a predetermined point of time.If the connection mode type is " immediately ", the processing next one that will begin in a minute so can be carried out entity.But, if the connection mode type is " being scheduled to ", so the next one can be carried out entity and be added to by other and can carry out in the table that entity forms, the entity carried out in the table is predefined in one period schedule time and carries out later or after satisfying a predetermined condition at least.
With reference to Fig. 4, this figure schematically shows the structure according to all elements of data handling system of an embodiment.System 405 has a graphic user interface (GUI) 400, and this interface can show a plurality of alternative self-contained, precompiler entities of carrying out.Also show the current entity of carrying out carried out 212 among the figure.Each entity is represented the part of business procedure or self-contained business procedure.With a plurality of entity stores of carrying out on a suitable medium, hard disk drive device 34 and 32 for example.Graphic user interface 400 is connected with execution engine 410.The function of execution engine as mentioned above.Equally, the function that can carry out entity basically as mentioned above.
The user of data handling system with in Genius mouse and the options button one can carry out between the entity at each and to set up link.By on female entity, clicking, on fructification, click then, between these two entities, set up link.
All link definition carry out the order that those can carry out entity, and defined the whole working condition that the businessman wants to come according to its business procedure the used software of deal with data thus.
During the software that designs a calculating machine for business procedure, all processes, method and link therebetween are stored in the software library, and available graphic presentation.
When the good business procedure of a structure is carried out in hope, carry out engine 210 and explain that this can carry out entity and relevant link information.Fetch all entities of execution with intersecting chain during, to carry out engine 210 and create parameter regions 310, " intelligence-collecting object " that it utilizes simple two-dimensional array or Visual Basic to provide finished.Store by the data that can carry out entities access and operation with parameter region 310.
At last, operating system and network work software 420 coordinate to use a computer system resource by various functional entitys, and such as graphic user interface 400 and execution engine 410, and coordinated management is used for the storer in stored parameter district.
Selectively, the link entity is realized as a kind of common more specifically form of carrying out entity.In this select to be implemented, the link entity comprised such method and/or data, they defined with any behavior of carrying out the link that entity links to each other or with the interaction of this link.Carry out engine and determine that with being stored in data in the link another can carry out entity or the coupled entity carried out.Every link all has a link identifier, and a mother can carry out entity identifier, a son can be carried out entity identifier, and be used for the definition or the link management behavior and and mothers and sons can carry out interactional timing information and method between the entity.
With reference to Fig. 5, this figure schematically shows a workflow scheduler program 502, and it comprises one by carrying out entity O
1, O
3, O
2And O
4The table of forming 504.The entity carried out in the table is predefined in stipulated time T respectively
1, T
2, T
3And T
4Carry out.502 management of workflow scheduler program are to carrying out the operation dispatching of entity.Institute's canned data comprises the handle that can carry out entity, and the indication of predetermined execution time or the begin condition that must satisfy before carrying out.(Entity ConnectionInfo) provides scheduling can carry out the required information of entity by interface RegisterScheduledExecution to carry out engine 410.The representative of this interface can carry out by each that entity provides and by carrying out the public interface that engine 410 uses.
Another kind method is that each parameter state has adopted predetermined value in table, just can begin to carry out to carry out entity.
If data handling system comprises an operating system of supporting a plurality of threads, so can be for each entity carry out a timed task, begin to handle after being predefined in an official hour section or preset time section.Then, this tasks interrupt is carried out engine 410, the entity handle is offered carry out engine 410, then carries out engine 410 and can call the manner of execution that this can carry out entity.Equally, if must satisfy a predetermined condition, variable/the sign of predetermined number perhaps must be set before beginning to carry out, can utilize each thread creation process or task separately so, the conditioned disjunction state of described thread checkmark also correspondingly interrupts carrying out engine.
On the other hand, workflow scheduler program 502 can periodically scan the whole table of being made up of predetermined entity 504, carries out above-mentioned inspection, and activates and carry out each entity according to whether having satisfied above-mentioned condition.
In another embodiment, can arrange periodically to carry out one and can carry out entity, thereby carry out an entity in for example per 5 minutes.Utilize the variable that can openly visit " IncTime " of ConnectionInfo need to indicate whether periodic the execution.If variable " IncTime " comprises null value, do not need periodic execution so.But,, will set up periodic the execution according to the time period of this other value defined so if " IncTime " comprises other a value.In case finish the execution to this entity, the workflow scheduler program automatically reschedules the execution of future to this entity according to the indicated time period.
Can be with departing from or come the regulation execution time with respect to now with absolute time.Time format can be year, month, day, hour and minute.
False code shown in the following table 1 is represented the control stream according to the execution engine of an embodiment.Line number only for ease of reference.

Table 1
" DataObject " is an object, is used for temporary transient storage and can carries out the relevant information of entity with one, can carry out the final state of entity such as this.This final state is stored in the variable " Terminate " that can openly visit.
" ElementInfo=FindStartElement (Entity) " definition can be carried out the handle of entity, and the described entity of carrying out is an initial entity in the solid pattern.Selectively comprise a plurality of public variables by the ElementInfo canned data.Each variable comprises whether about carrying out entity be the indication of " end " type, and is used to identify the class definition of object or " class name " of structure.Other public variable has " NodeConnections AsCollection ", and it is collection or the array that connects or link to other output that can carry out entity from this entity; " Parms as Objects ", being used to identify one can carry out the data parameters of sharing between all methods of entity; " ConditionString " is used to be identified at the inventory that begins to carry out the condition that should satisfy before the method for entity; And " DLLFUNCTION ", being used to store can be from carrying out the title of the external program of visiting in the entity and carrying out.
Selectively, other public variable comprises screen coordinate, and they can define the figured position that can carry out entity.Below narration is about other information of graphic user interface.
" ConnectionInfo " comprises a public variable " Mode ", and it is used for expression is carry out immediately to carry out entity, still should be predefined in a special time and carry out and can carry out entity.As can be seen, the 7th row is determined to begin to carry out entity immediately, still is predefined in a special time and carries out entity.
Dispatch if desired, call the method " RegisterScheduledExecution " of workflow scheduler program 502 so, transmission is used to identify the parameter and relevant link information that can carry out entity.
Continue to carry out when type circulation (while-loop), can carry out entity until being scheduled to carry out one, perhaps up to executed one END entity.
With reference to Fig. 6, this figure schematically shows the screen layout with GUI 400 performances.GUI 400 carries out work according to well known in the art, defined MicroSoft Windows Standard.
Screen 600 is divided into two parts, and left side 601 is by tree-shaped description one inventory, and this inventory comprises available business object class or process, activity and constitutes the method (can carry out entity) of business procedure.The entity carried out that constitutes business procedure is described on the right side 602 of screen 600.
As seen, business procedure comprises ten entities of selecting carried out from the tree construction in screen left side.
Entity " Cash Sale Entry " the 604th can be carried out, the start node of solid pattern can be carried out.Not shown in this embodiment end node.As mentioned above, can carry out entity and link by link basically, these link definitions can carry out the execution stream of entity.
Be positioned on the start node 604 in case carry out engine, just can begin to carry out this process.Execution is called the entity 606 of " Select Customer ", so that select one from a plurality of users that may wait for.The user can line up by phone, perhaps can store details in advance in document, and when calling this entity 606 or business procedure, the document shows.
After having selected to handle the client of its order, execution passes to the next one and can carry out entity 608.In this case, the next one can be carried out entity 608 and requires to import from the user of computer system." user-selected path " entity 608 allows the user of data handling system to select a paths at least from a plurality of possible execution route of entity.In this case, provide two kinds of possible execution routes or link.Article one, link is directed to the entity that is called " Shipping Address displacement " 610, and this entity allows to replace the default address relevant with selected client usually with different Shipping Addresses.The second link is directed to entity " Order Header 1 " 612, and this entity asks typically to order header message (order header information) to the user.
Processing proceeds to the entity that is called " order line input " 614, the actual command information that this entity allows user's input of data handling system to obtain from selected client there.Behind the input command, carry out proceeding to next entity " type is transported in selection " 616, this entity allows the transfer mode of user's select command.Transfer mode comprises vehicle and various types of conventional mailing service.
Then, calculate by the entity carried out that is called " order expense " 618 and order relevant article expense." order expense " can carry out entity 618 can visit outside price software, and this software calculates according to different and selectable pricing method and orders relevant cost.Equally, various price formality it is also conceivable that the currency that defrayment is used.
Then, " order is finished " 620 can be carried out entity and allowed the user to confirm that order finishes." next of scheduler program called " entity 622 allows for another selected user and repeats said process.
Business procedure is constructed in the following manner, promptly selects one can carry out entity from the left side of screen, and is dragged and dropped into the right side of screen with Genius mouse.Set up link between the entity can carrying out once more with Genius mouse and " rubberbanding section method " technology.Between two entities, set up a link in the following manner, promptly select an entity, according to mouse button cursor is moved on to another entity that first entity will be linked then with the Genius mouse left button.After decontroling mouse button, can carry out demonstration one link between the entity at two.As mentioned above, can carry out entity and comprise an array, be used to store identifier with its entity carried out that links.Therefore, in rubberbanding section method operating period, second identifier that can carry out entity is stored in this array.
The pattern description that can carry out entity comprises a painted arcuate section 624, and this part represents that can carry out one that entity is connected with another links or connect.By " Shipping Address displacement " 610 entities as seen, last arcuate section has arrow points left side.If the user selects this input to connect, repeat so and can carry out the relevant processing of entity accordingly.
The downward arrow of arcuate section represents to cancel option under the cut section, and this option interrupts carrying out the execution of entity and reformed any data value recover the term of execution.
As mentioned above, about " condition " variable that can openly visit of ElementInfo elephant, each can be carried out entity and interrelate with the indication of global data, and this global data must exist before can operating conscientiously can carrying out entity.By carrying out entity service condition information for each during the course, can define the business procedure of having finished or having constructed and whether have a significant execution stream.Carry out the engine inspection and can carry out all initial conditions of entity, and be defined in normal the term of execution and these conditions be met the execution of parts formerly.This can be evaluated the control stream of business procedure, and needn't the complete business procedure of actual motion,, needn't carry out all entities that constitute business procedure that is.
Refer again to Figure 60 0, can selectively show the information relevant with the schedule information that can carry out entity.For example, with Genius mouse left button " click " on shown link, produce dialog box as shown in Figure 7.Dialog box 700 shows that one can carry out the schedule information of entity.As seen, can use various types of scheduling, for example carry out immediately, carry out in batches or periodically carry out by time, date or both.
With reference to Figure 70 0, particularly, as seen from the figure, four kinds of scheduling types or pattern are provided, i.e. " user's control " 704, " automatically immediately " 706, " automatic batch " 708 and " in batches predetermined " 710 with reference to " scheduling type " zone 720.
When the entity carried out that is run into was defined as scheduling " user's control " 704, system user can be seen the dialog box shown in Figure 70 0, required or wished that the user finishes the screen area of " scheduling frequency " 712.The behavior is provided with scheduling time, and each execution time that can carry out entity of management.
