[0022] The embodiment of the present application provides a Camunda process engine access method, which is illustrated by the following embodiment.

[0023] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for accessing a Camunda process engine according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, a Camunda process engine access method of an embodiment of the present application includes the following steps: Step S1: By embedding the Camunda process engine front end into the business system front end, a process configuration module front end is constructed, and a process configuration interface is created and provided through the constructed process configuration module front end.

[0024] As an optional example, in this embodiment, the process configuration interface includes process query, process drawing, process role configuration and process personnel configuration interfaces.

[0025] Step S2: By pointing the data interface required for process configuration to the business system backend, a process configuration module backend is constructed, and process configuration basic data is accessed through the constructed process configuration module backend.

[0026] As an optional example, in this embodiment, the process configuration basic data includes process personnel data and process role data.

[0027] Step S3: Use the process configuration interface to configure the flow process of the Camunda process engine according to the process configuration basic data.

[0028] In this embodiment, the flow process of the Camunda process engine is used for task processing of the business system.

[0029] Step S4: By connecting the business system backend with the Camunda process engine backend, the Camunda process engine is connected to the business process, and the Camunda process engine connected to the business process is used to perform task processing.

[0030] As an optional example, in this embodiment, a standard API interface is set for the Camunda process engine backend, and the Camunda process engine backend is connected to the business system backend through the set standard API interface. The Camunda process engine connected to the business process is used to perform task processing, task completion, task rejection and task transfer.

[0031] Step S5: Acquire the process role data of task processing from the business system backend through the Camunda process engine backend.

[0032] As an optional example, in this embodiment, a process role data query request for task processing is sent to the business system backend through the Camunda process engine backend, and after receiving the process role data query request, the business system backend sends the corresponding process role data to the Camunda process engine backend. For example, in this embodiment, by modifying the process role configuration method for task processing of the Camunda process engine backend, the Camunda process engine backend is pointed to the interface of the business system backend, and the business system backend sends the process role data to the Camunda process engine backend through the interface.

[0033] Step S6: The Camunda process engine backend writes the data of the current task to the business system backend, and the business system frontend queries the process and tasks based on the written task data.

[0034] As an optional example, this embodiment monitors the events of task processing through the Camunda process engine backend, writes the data of the current task to the business system backend after each step of task processing, and the business system queries the process and task based on the written task data. The data of the current task includes the processor of the current task and the flow event data.

[0035] The following is a further detailed description of the Camunda process engine access method of this embodiment in a specific scenario. The embodiment of this application aims to provide a standard and fast method to quickly and securely access the Camunda process engine on the basis of improving efficiency and reducing workload, thereby realizing automated management and optimization of contract processes. Figure 2 This is an example diagram of accessing the Camunda process engine according to the method of an embodiment of the present application.

[0036] like Figure 2As shown, in this scenario example, the Camunda process engine and business system are started separately.

[0037] This embodiment first integrates the assembly process configuration module, so that the assembled process configuration module has the functions of configuring processes, configuring approval roles, modifying approval nodes, viewing historical process versions, etc. By integrating the assembly process configuration module, this embodiment can simplify the writing of basic data for docking with the backend of the Camunda process engine, and also avoids the need to develop a process configuration interface for the business system, and integrates the Camunda process engine and the business system into a new module.

[0038] Specifically, this embodiment embeds the interface of the Camunda process engine for drawing flowcharts into the business system through the front-end forwarding method, which becomes the front-end of the process configuration module. The main interfaces include: process query, process drawing, process role configuration, process personnel configuration and other key interfaces of the process configuration module. This embodiment also configures the basic data interface required by the process to point to the back-end interface of the business system, which becomes the back-end of the process configuration module. The main back-end interfaces include interfaces such as personnel query and role query.

[0039] The process engine flow diagram configured by the process configuration module of this embodiment is used to provide basic data for subsequent process processing. Specifically, the business system backend completes the docking of process business, such as task completion, task rejection, task transfer, etc., through the standard API interface provided by the Camunda process engine. In actual applications, a role method for rewriting the task processing of the Camunda process engine backend is provided to point to the corresponding interface provided by the business system backend. The business system backend returns the account number of the person who needs to approve, so that the process task can flow normally. In addition, in this embodiment, the Camunda process engine backend monitors the events of task processing, and writes the data of the current task to the business system backend after each step of task processing, including the current processor, flow time, etc., so that the business system can query its own database to complete the query of processes and tasks.

[0040] The process configuration module of the method in this embodiment provides process processing configuration, which can minimize the transformation and development of the Camunda process engine. The business system can normally process its own business database to realize the flow of the process without cross-database query of process data, thereby realizing data decoupling between systems.

[0041] The Camunda process engine access method according to the embodiment of the present application has the following beneficial technical effects: 1. The integration of process configuration components is realized through forwarding and interface nesting, which significantly reduces the integration workload and improves the integration efficiency; 2. Focusing on the business system, there is no need to maintain various basic data of the Camunda process engine. You only need to use the process configured by the Camunda process engine for circulation; 3. Through process configuration, you can easily add or adjust the existing functions of the process configuration to meet the ever-changing business needs, and it has the characteristics of easy scalability.

[0042] This application Camunda process engine access method provides a free, efficient, flexible and secure solution, which is suitable for various business system access scenarios.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, the present application also provides a device, including a processor 310, a communication interface 320, a memory 330 for storing a processor executable computer program, and a communication bus 340. The processor 310, the communication interface 320, and the memory 330 communicate with each other through the communication bus 340. The processor 310 implements the above-mentioned Camunda process engine access method by running the executable computer program.

[0044] Among them, the computer program in the memory 330 can be implemented in the form of a software functional unit and can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium when it is sold or used as an independent product. Based on this understanding, the technical solution of the present application can be essentially or partly embodied in the form of a software product that contributes to the prior art.

The aforementioned storage medium includes: U disk, mobile hard disk, read-only memory (ROM, Read-Only Memory), random access memory (RAM, Random Access Memory), disk or optical disk, etc. Various media that can store program codes.

[0045] The system embodiments described above are merely illustrative, wherein the units described as separate components may or may not be physically separated, and the components shown as units may or may not be physical units, i.e., they may be located in one place, or they may be distributed on multiple network units. Some or all of the modules may be selected based on actual needs to achieve the purpose of the solution of this embodiment. Those of ordinary skill in the art may understand and implement it without creative effort.

[0046] Through the description of the above implementation modes, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that each implementation mode can be implemented by means of software plus a necessary general hardware platform, or of course by hardware. Based on such an understanding, the above technical solution can essentially or in other words be embodied in the form of a software product that contributes to the prior art. The computer software product can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium, such as ROM / RAM, a magnetic disk, an optical disk, etc., and includes a number of instructions for a computer device (which can be a personal computer, a server, or a network device, etc.) to execute the methods of each embodiment or some parts of the embodiment.
