Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, and specifically provides a swimlane mode-based visualized process arrangement method and device. Background Art

[0002] With the development of communication technology, there are more and more communication network devices, and the networking methods between devices are becoming increasingly complex, and the requirements for the intelligent communication network fault management system are also getting higher and higher. The fault management system must not only collect and present equipment faults, but also have the design and management capabilities of the automatic fault handling process, and arrange some node tasks such as fault preprocessing, fault demarcation and positioning, fault handling and recovery provided by the system to complete automatic fault handling. In the communication equipment fault management system, the arrangement of related node tasks in the automatic fault handling process is a key task, which involves the sorting of node tasks, priority division, and dependencies between node tasks.

[0003] Traditional process arrangement methods usually use tables or lists to display, which lacks intuitiveness and flexibility. Therefore, a new process arrangement method is needed to solve these problems. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention aims at solving the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art and provides a highly practical visual process arrangement method based on the swimlane mode.

[0005] A further technical task of the present invention is to provide a visual process orchestration system based on the lane mode that is reasonably designed, safe and applicable.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is:

[0007] A visual process orchestration method based on the lane mode first defines the lane type, divides the node tasks into the lanes, establishes the node task dependency, then configures the node task attributes, and finally monitors and adjusts.

[0008] Furthermore, when defining the lane type, first, clarify each link in the automatic fault handling process and assign a lane to each link. The lane appears as a physical dividing line on the flowchart.

[0009] Furthermore, node tasks are divided into lanes, and each node task in the process is divided into corresponding lanes according to the link it belongs to by dragging the node into the lane. In this way, the node tasks in each lane will output the execution results according to the link to which the lane belongs.

[0010] Furthermore, node task dependencies are established, and dependencies between tasks of each node are analyzed to ensure that tasks can be executed in the correct order.

[0011] Further, configure the node task attributes and configure the corresponding attributes for each task;

[0012] In monitoring and adjustment, during the execution of business processes, task scheduling is monitored and adjusted in real time. When problems or abnormal situations arise, task scheduling is adjusted in a timely manner to ensure the smooth progress of business processes.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the swimlane-based visualized process arrangement method and system of the present invention have the following outstanding beneficial effects:

[0020] The present invention uses the swimlane mode to make the process link arrangement results intuitive and visible, which is easy to understand and share, and greatly reduces the difficulty of configuration.

[0021] Flexible adjustment: Through simple drag and drop operations, you can quickly adjust the task attribution link, clearly display the allocation and dependency relationship of task nodes between each link, and improve the efficiency of process configuration.

[0022] Optimize process execution efficiency: By analyzing and configuring the dependencies of task nodes, the correct execution of tasks can be ensured, and execution exceptions caused by process confusion can be avoided, thereby improving the execution efficiency of the process.

[0026] Among them, the swimlane model is a flowchart representation method that clarifies the responsibilities and collaborative relationships of each node in the business process by dividing different node tasks into different swimlanes.

[0027] Define lane types: First, clarify each link in the automatic fault handling process and assign a lane to each link. The lane can be represented as a physical dividing line on the flowchart.

[0028] Divide node tasks into lanes: Divide each node task in the process into corresponding lanes according to the link to which it belongs by dragging the node into the lane. In this way, the node tasks in each lane will output the execution results according to the link to which the lane belongs.

[0029] Establish node task dependencies: Analyze the dependencies between tasks at each node to ensure that tasks can be executed in the correct order, including predecessor tasks, successor tasks, and parallel methods between tasks (sequential, exclusive, parallel), etc.

[0030] Configure node task properties: Configure corresponding properties for each task, such as task name, task description, task input parameters, task output parameters, etc. These properties help participants better understand and execute tasks.

[0031] Monitoring and adjustment: During the execution of business processes, real-time monitoring and adjustment of task scheduling are carried out. When problems or abnormal situations occur, task scheduling can be adjusted in time to ensure the smooth progress of business processes.
