[0002] As enterprises develop, the business scenarios and types of business they face gradually increase, and the performance of process management systems also needs to be optimized. Enterprise-level process management systems generally manage and execute business with the help of process engines. Process engines (PE) are a software tool or software service, which can be understood as a software engine that executes business or processes based on rules and conditions. It is used to manage and execute business processes, realize business process automation, improve business processing efficiency, and reduce the error rate of business execution.

[0003] Generally speaking, a business includes multiple process nodes. Currently, most enterprises use a centralized process scheduling engine to manage and execute various processes of various businesses, that is, they use a traditional server architecture, pre-configure server resources and process tasks that each server resource needs to handle, and there is a fixed correspondence between tasks and server resources. The configured server resources can only execute the corresponding process tasks. The execution efficiency of the business and the utilization of resources are limited by the resource allocation strategy. If more server resources are allocated to the low-peak business, it will lead to resource waste and even affect the execution of the peak business. Summary of the invention

It can apply for processor resources for each process node according to the task details of each process node in the business, and release the processor resources of the process node after the execution of the process node is completed, so that it can execute other tasks. While ensuring the execution efficiency of the business, the utilization rate of server resources is improved and resource waste is reduced.

[0027] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", "initial", "intermediate", "candidate", "alternative", "target", etc. in the specification and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0029] At present, the process scheduling field usually adopts centralized process scheduling engines to manage and execute various business processes. These engines are usually deployed on fixed servers, responsible for receiving task requests, assigning tasks to corresponding execution nodes, and monitoring the execution status of tasks. There are the following disadvantages: 1) Low resource utilization efficiency, that is, traditional process scheduling engines usually need to pre-allocate fixed server resources. Even in the trough period of business, these resources will be occupied, resulting in resource waste; in the peak period of business, there may be insufficient resources, affecting system performance. 2) Limited scalability, that is, with the growth and change of business, traditional process scheduling engines need to upgrade hardware or reconstruct software to meet the growing business needs. Upgrading and reconstructing are not only costly, but also complicated, which may affect the stability and availability of the system. 3) Low cost-effectiveness, that is, traditional process scheduling engines need to continuously maintain server hardware and software, including but not limited to the purchase, maintenance, and upgrade of servers and software license fees, which increases the operating costs of enterprises.

[0030] The business execution method proposed in the present invention is a business implementation method of a stateless process scheduling engine based on a serverless application, which can solve the deficiencies of existing process scheduling engines in terms of resource utilization efficiency, scalability and cost-effectiveness, and has the advantages of high efficiency, flexibility and economy, and can adapt to various complex business scenarios. Stateless service means that the processing of a single request is independent and does not depend on the status of other requests before or after, so that server resources can execute tasks independently without being affected by other business processes.

[0031] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a service execution method provided by the present invention. This embodiment can be applied to improving service execution efficiency, reducing resource consumption, dynamically adjusting process tasks that need to be executed in various services, etc. The method can be executed by the service execution device provided by the present invention. The device can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software. In a specific embodiment, the device can be integrated in an electronic device. The following embodiments will be described by taking the device integrated in an electronic device as an example. Figure 1 , the method specifically comprises the following steps:

[0032] S101. Determine at least one process node of the business to be executed and an association relationship between at least one process node based on the business logic of the business to be executed.

[0033] The business to be executed can be understood as the business that needs to be processed in the enterprise, such as deploying applications, processing financial projects, deploying the application environment of financial projects, etc. The business logic of the business to be executed can be understood as the explanatory description of the business process of the business to be executed. A business may include multiple processes (i.e., process nodes). The business logic can be automatically generated according to the business characteristics, or it can be set by the user using the process definition language to determine the process relationship of the business (i.e., the association relationship between process nodes).

[0034] Specifically, the business to be executed can be a service in any one or more of the following application scenarios: cross-business system service collaboration scenario, customer journey end-to-end operation management scenario, business automation scenario, credit business processing scenario, operation intelligent scheduling scenario, task scheduling demand scenario, batch job scheduling scenario, business approval process scenario, order processing process scenario, human resources management process scenario, financial reimbursement process scenario, customer relationship management scenario and supply chain management scenario. The present invention does not limit this.

[0035] For example, assuming that the business logic of business A indicates that business A includes node tasks 1, 2, and 3 that are executed sequentially, then the process nodes of business A are considered to include node tasks 1, 2, and 3, and the association relationship between each process node is that node task 1 comes first, followed by node task 2 and 3. The flowchart of business A is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of a service provided by the present invention, and the service refers to the above-mentioned service A.

[0036] In one embodiment, S101 may specifically include: parsing the business logic of the business to be executed, obtaining at least one process node, node identification information of at least one process node, node type and node execution condition; determining the association relationship of at least one process node based on the node identification information, node type and node execution condition of at least one process node. The present invention parses the process nodes, process node details and association relationships of the business to be executed according to the business logic of the business to be executed, and then applies for server resources for each process node in a targeted manner, avoiding resource waste and improving resource utilization while ensuring smooth execution of the business.

[0037] Business logic can be used to describe the business process and logical sequence of the business to be executed. The process node is the component unit in the business process. The business process is the combination of multiple types of units. Therefore, the type information of the process node is different. The node types include start node, branch node, task node, merge node and end node. The association relationship of at least one process node is used to indicate the business process of the business to be executed, that is, the execution order of each process node.

[0038] Node identification information can be understood as the name, number and other information of the process node, which is used to distinguish each process node. Node execution conditions can be understood as the execution order of the process node, dependent nodes and other information, which is used to determine the position of the process node in the business process.

[0039] The start node can be understood as the startup task of the business to be executed, indicating the beginning of the business process; the task node can be understood as the task that needs to be executed in the business process, the branch node can be understood as a judgment node, which will determine the subsequent direction of the business process based on specific conditions, the merge node is the task node after multiple paths are merged, and the end node is used to indicate the end of the business process, that is, the business process is completed. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a business process provided by the present invention, combined with Figure 3 Explain the business process. Figure 3The starting node in is the "start" node, indicating the beginning of the process, task node 1 is the "task1" task, branch node 1 is the "branch1" node, task node 2 is the "task2" task, task node 3 is the "task3" task, branch node 2 is the "branch2" node, task node 4 is the "task4" task, the merge node is the "merge" node, and the end node is the "end" node. Figure 3 Starting from the starting node, there are two parallel paths. One path is to execute the "task1" task first, and then enter the "branch1" branch node after executing the "task1" task. The branch node determines the subsequent direction based on specific conditions. If the conditions are met, the "task2" task is executed, and finally reaches the "merge" merge node. Similarly, the other path is to execute the "task3" task directly from the starting node, then enter the "branch2" branch node, execute the "task4" task after the conditions are met, and reach the "merge" merge node. At the "merge" node, the execution results of the two paths will be merged, and the process ends at the "end" node.

[0040] S102: using a preset target process scheduling engine, determining execution resources for the to-be-executed business according to the association relationship of at least one process node and the total number of nodes.

[0041] The total number of nodes can be understood as the number of process nodes of the business to be executed, for example, Figure 2 The number of process nodes in the business is 3. Figure 3 The number of process nodes in the business is 9. The execution resources include at least one server resource. The server resources correspond to the process nodes and are used to execute the tasks on the corresponding process nodes. The target process scheduling engine is a stateless process scheduling engine. The stateless process scheduling engine can isolate the tasks of each process node and execute them independently, so that they are no longer dependent on each other, improve the flexibility, maintainability, scalability and efficiency of business execution, and reduce business risks.

[0042] Combination Figure 2 , assuming that the allocation of server resources is one-to-one, then Figure 2 The server resources applied for by the business are server resource 1, server resource 2 and server resource 3, among which server resource 1 is used to execute node task 1, server resource 2 is used to execute node task 2, and server resource 3 is used to execute node task 3.

[0043] In one embodiment, S102 may specifically include: determining resource requirement information and parallel execution information of at least one process node based on the node information, association relationship and total number of nodes of at least one process node; determining at least one server resource based on the resource requirement information and parallel execution information of at least one process node.

[0044] The resource requirement information of a process node can be understood as the size, computing power, time and other information of the server resources required by the process node. The purpose of this setting is to apply for appropriate server resources for the process node, which can not only ensure the smooth execution of the tasks of the process node, but also reduce the waste of server resources. Parallel execution information can be understood as the explanatory description of the process nodes that can be executed in parallel, for example, Figure 3 The process nodes on the two paths can be executed in parallel, that is, the tasks corresponding to task node 1 and task node 3 can be started at the same time. The purpose of this setting is to improve the efficiency of business execution.

[0045] Specifically, server resources and process nodes can be one-to-one (server resources only execute the tasks of one process node and release the server resources after execution. The server resources applied for the second time are considered as a new server resource) or one-to-many (the same server resource can execute the tasks corresponding to two process nodes that do not conflict in time). Therefore, the number of server resources is less than or equal to the number of process nodes.

[0046] The present invention provides two server resource allocation methods, that is, provides a more comprehensive server resource application solution, and the user can determine the server resource application method in a targeted manner according to the business execution logic, thereby improving the user's usage experience.

[0047] On the one hand, taking the one-to-one server resources and process nodes as an example, based on the resource demand information and parallel execution information of at least one process node, at least one server resource is determined, including: using the target process scheduling engine to apply for a first server resource for at least one process node based on the resource demand information of at least one process node.

[0048] The first server resource includes at least one first sub-server resource, and the first sub-server resource corresponds to the process node one by one. Specifically, the present invention allocates server resources of different sizes to each process node according to the resource demand information of the process node.

[0049] Exemplarily, it is assumed that the process nodes of the business to be executed include node task 1, node task 2 and node task 3, the resource requirement information of node task 1 and node task 2 is requirement 1, the resource requirement information of node task 3 is requirement 2, the type of server resource corresponding to requirement 1 is type 1, and the type of server resource corresponding to requirement 2 is type 2. Different types of server resources have different information such as size and computing power. The present invention applies to obtain that the first server resource is the first sub-server resource 1, the first sub-server resource 2 and the first sub-server resource 3. The types of the first sub-server resource 1 and the first sub-server resource 2 are type 1, and the type of the first sub-server resource 3 is type 2. The first sub-server resource 1 corresponds to node task 1, the first sub-server resource 2 corresponds to node task 2, and the first sub-server resource 3 corresponds to node task 3.

[0050] On the other hand, taking the one-to-many server resources and process nodes as an example, based on the resource demand information and parallel execution information of at least one process node, at least one server resource is determined, including: based on the parallel execution information of at least one process node, the server resource reuse information of at least one process node is determined, and using the target process scheduling engine to apply for a second server resource for at least one process node according to the server resource reuse information and resource demand information of at least one process node.

[0051] The second server resource includes at least one second sub-server resource, and the number of the second sub-server resources is less than or equal to the number of process nodes.

[0052] Specifically, the server resource reuse information is used to indicate which process nodes can reuse the same server resources. The situations of reusing the same server resources include but are not limited to two or more process nodes whose processing times do not conflict, two or more process nodes whose processing times do not conflict and whose resource requirements are similar, and two or more process nodes that are consecutive and have a dependency relationship. Figure 2 If the three node tasks of the business can be executed in parallel, in order to improve the efficiency of business execution, a one-to-one allocation of server resources can be adopted. If the three node tasks cannot be executed in parallel and there is a sequence, the same server resources can be used to execute the node tasks in sequence, reducing the number of server resource scheduling and scheduling time, and improving business execution efficiency and stability.

[0053] S103: Based on the association relationship of at least one process node, control at least one server resource to execute at least one process node to complete the business to be executed.

[0054] Specifically, controlling at least one server resource to execute at least one process node based on the association relationship of at least one process node can be understood as controlling the server resources corresponding to each process node to execute each process node according to the execution order and dependency relationship of each process node, thereby maintaining the execution effect of each process node while ensuring the smooth execution of the business.

[0055] Exemplary, combined Figure 2 , assuming that server resource 1 corresponds to node task 1, server resource 2 corresponds to node task 2, and server resource 3 corresponds to node task 3, if each node task can be executed in parallel (that is, the dependencies of each process node are independent of each other), then control the three server resources to work simultaneously, server resource 1 executes the task corresponding to node task 1, server resource 2 executes the task corresponding to node task 2, and server resource 3 executes the task corresponding to node task 3. If each node task needs to be executed in sequence (that is, node task 2 depends on the execution result of node task 1, and node task 3 depends on the execution result of node task 2), then control server resource 1 to execute the task corresponding to node task 1, control server resource 2 to execute the task corresponding to node task 2 after node task 1 is executed, and control server resource 3 to execute the task corresponding to node task 3 after node task 2 is executed.

[0056] In one embodiment, S103 may specifically include: determining the execution order and dependency relationship of at least one process node based on the association relationship of at least one process node; and controlling the server resources corresponding to each process node to execute each process node based on the execution order and dependency relationship of at least one process node.

[0057] The execution order can be understood as the order of process nodes in the business process, for example, Figure 2 The ranking of node task 1 is 1, the ranking of node task 2 is 2, and the ranking of node task 3 is 3. In general, node tasks with dependencies need to wait for the dependent node tasks to be completed before they can be executed to ensure the execution effect of the node tasks. Node tasks without dependencies can be executed in parallel, for example, Figure 3 Task node 1 and task node 2 can be started at the same time to improve the execution efficiency of the business.

[0058] It is worth noting that the process scheduling engine of the present invention can automatically execute tasks (i.e., process nodes) according to the process definition. Each task is encapsulated into a stateless function and deployed on the serverless application platform. The serverless application platform will automatically expand and shrink the number of functions according to the load of the task to ensure that the task can be executed in time. At the same time, the platform will also monitor the execution status of the function. If a function fails to execute, the corresponding processing flow can be started, for example, automatically retrying and skipping the current task.

[0059] Furthermore, for any process node, when controlling the server resources to execute the process node, it also includes: determining whether the process node meets the abnormal execution condition; when the process node meets the abnormal execution condition, determining whether the process node is a necessary process node; if the process node is not a necessary process node, stopping the execution of the process node and starting the processing task of the next process node of the process node; if the process node is a necessary process node, using the target process scheduling engine to apply for backup server resources for the process node, and controlling the backup server resources to execute the process node.

[0060] Necessary process nodes can be understood as task nodes that must be executed in the business. The lack of execution results of necessary process nodes may lead to the failure of the entire business. Abnormal execution is adjusted to the execution result of the process node not being received within the preset time or the execution result of the process node being an execution failure. The advantage of this setting is that a fault-tolerant scheme is set for process nodes that have not responded for a long time and process nodes that have failed to execute, so as to avoid suspending the entire business process due to the failure or delay of one or more process nodes. It is worth noting that the present invention will initiate a secondary execution process for the necessary process nodes and reallocate resources for them. When the resources are allocated twice, the number of functions of the task can be appropriately increased to ensure that the necessary process nodes can be executed smoothly. For non-essential process nodes, the skip process will be started and the task of the next process node will continue to be executed. Of course, the execution of the non-essential process node can also be sent to the user for review. After the review, the user can trigger the secondary execution process or start the skip process. If the user confirms to start the skip process, it proves that the non-essential process node is negligible for the business and will no longer be executed. When the termination node is executed, the business execution is considered to be completed.

[0061] In the first aspect, the present invention can adopt a serverless application architecture to decompose the functions of the process scheduling engine into multiple stateless functions and deploy them on the serverless application platform of the cloud service provider. These functions can automatically expand and shrink according to business needs without pre-allocating fixed server resources. When there is a task request, the serverless application platform will automatically trigger the execution of the corresponding function to complete the scheduling and execution of the task. This architecture can greatly improve resource utilization efficiency and reduce costs. In the second aspect, the present invention can adopt a stateless design, that is, each function does not rely on any specific state information when executing a task. Such a design allows the function to execute tasks independently without being affected by other functions. Secondly, the stateless design can also improve the scalability and reliability of the system. When the processing capacity of the system needs to be increased, the number of functions can be simply increased without considering the synchronization and migration of the state. In the third aspect, the present invention provides an intuitive process definition language, which users can use to define various complex business processes to describe the logic and sequence of the business process. When the process is triggered, the process scheduling engine will automatically execute the task according to the process definition and monitor the execution status of the task. It is worth noting that the present invention will also monitor the execution of each process. If the task execution fails, the engine will automatically retry or take other fault-tolerant measures (adjust the task, execute the next task, etc.) to ensure the smooth execution of the business. Fourthly, the present invention can also provide a complete monitoring and management tool, allowing users to monitor the execution status of each process node in the business process in real time, resource usage and other information, and can also allow users to dynamically adjust and optimize node tasks and business processes through management tools, for example, modify the execution order of each process node, add process nodes, delete process nodes, modify the execution priority of the task when the task execution time is too long, or increase the number of tasks The function (aimed at improving execution efficiency), etc. The purpose of this setting is to meet the ever-changing business needs in real time.

[0062] The beneficial effects of the technical solution of the present invention are: 1) Improving resource utilization efficiency, that is, the present invention adopts a serverless application architecture and a stateless design, and the process scheduling engine can automatically expand and shrink according to business needs, without the need to pre-allocate fixed server resources, which greatly improves resource utilization efficiency. 2) Enhanced scalability, that is, the stateless design allows the system to easily increase the number of functions to meet growing business needs; secondly, the serverless application architecture provides powerful scalability and can quickly respond to business changes. 3) Reduce costs, that is, the present invention does not require the maintenance of server hardware and software, the operating cost of the process scheduling engine is low, and the serverless application architecture is pay-as-you-go, which can also reduce unnecessary paid items and further reduce corporate costs. 4) Improve reliability, that is, the fault-tolerant mechanism of the stateless design and serverless application architecture can ensure the high reliability of the system, and even if a function fails to execute, it will not affect the operation of the entire system.

[0063] The technical solution of the above embodiment will split the business according to the business logic of the business, and then apply for processor resources for each process node according to the task details of each process node in the business, and release the processor resources of the process node after the process node is executed, so that it can execute other tasks. The use of server resources is highly flexible, and the utilization rate of server resources is improved while ensuring the execution efficiency of the business, reducing resource waste. It solves the problem of pre-configuring server resources and process tasks that each server resource needs to process. The configured server resources can only execute the corresponding process tasks. The execution efficiency of the business and the utilization rate of resources are limited by the resource allocation strategy. If more server resources are allocated to the low-peak period business, it will lead to resource waste and even affect the execution of the peak period business.

[0064] Figure 4 is a flow chart of another service execution method provided by the present invention. This embodiment provides a preferred service execution method based on the above embodiment. Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, the method specifically includes:

[0065] S201. Analyze the business logic of the business to be executed, and obtain at least one process node, node identification information of at least one process node, node type, and node execution condition.

[0066] S202: Determine an association relationship of at least one process node based on node identification information, node type, and node execution condition of at least one process node.

[0067] Among them, the node types include a start node, a branch node, a task node, a merge node and a termination node, and the association relationship of at least one process node is used to indicate the business process of the business to be executed.

[0068] S203: Determine resource requirement information and parallel execution information of at least one process node based on the node information, association relationship and total number of nodes of at least one process node.

[0069] S204: Determine at least one server resource based on the resource requirement information and parallel execution information of at least one process node.

[0070] Among them, the number of server resources is less than or equal to the number of process nodes.

[0071] Specifically, when applying for server resources for at least one process node based on resource demand information of at least one process node using the target process scheduling engine, the server resources correspond to the process nodes one by one, that is, the number of server resources is equal to the number of process nodes. Based on the parallel execution information of at least one process node, the server resource reuse information of at least one process node is determined, and when applying for server resources for at least one process node based on the server resource reuse information and resource demand information of at least one process node using the target process scheduling engine, there may be reuse of server resources, and at this time, the number of server resources is less than or equal to the number of process nodes.

[0072] S205. Based on the association relationship of at least one process node, determine the execution order and dependency relationship of at least one process node.

[0073] S206. Based on the execution order and dependency relationship of at least one process node, control the server resources corresponding to each process node to execute each process node to complete the business to be executed.

[0074] It is worth noting that when executing each process node, the execution status of each process node will also be monitored. When a process node is abnormal, corresponding measures will be taken in a timely manner to avoid meaningless resource consumption and ensure the smooth execution of the pending business.

[0075] The technical solution of the above embodiment will split the business according to the business logic of the business, and then apply for processor resources for each process node according to the task details of each process node in the business, and release the processor resources of the process node after the process node is executed, so that it can execute other tasks. The use of server resources is highly flexible, and the utilization rate of server resources is improved while ensuring the execution efficiency of the business, reducing resource waste. It solves the problem of pre-configuring server resources and process tasks that each server resource needs to process. The configured server resources can only execute the corresponding process tasks. The execution efficiency of the business and the utilization rate of resources are limited by the resource allocation strategy. If more server resources are allocated to the trough period business, it will lead to resource waste and even affect the execution of the peak period business. Secondly, in the above embodiment, multiple process nodes with no dependency and no conflict in server resources can be executed in parallel to improve the efficiency of business execution; multiple process nodes with no conflict in processing time can also be processed by the same server resource to reduce the scheduling frequency of server resources and improve the stability of business processing.

[0086] Optionally, for any process node, the execution module 303 is specifically used to determine whether the process node meets the abnormal execution condition; wherein the abnormal execution is adjusted to the failure to receive the execution result of the process node within a preset time period or the execution result of the process node is an execution failure; when the process node meets the abnormal execution condition, determine whether the process node is a necessary process node; if the process node is not a necessary process node, stop executing the process node, and start the processing task of the next process node of the process node; if the process node is a necessary process node, use the target process scheduling engine to apply for backup server resources for the process node, and control the backup server resources to execute the process node.
