A model-driven approach is used in Business Solution Monitoring and Control environment. The solution is first described by the high level abstract Platform Independent Model (PIM), which is independent from platform and implementation technologies. This PIM is presented as a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) that is constructed by a series of models described in XML. Then the PIM is decomposed into several sub-processes that can be easily transformed into an executable representation, such as BPEL (Business Process Execution Language) or JAVA. BPEL is used as the example to show the model transformation.

A mechanism of specification of business process templates, to capture commonly performed business activities / workflows / projects within a business organization and encourage reuse of best practices. Long transaction workspaces based business process template execution mechanism are presented, which have several advantages over existing business process execution mechanisms in web collaboration frameworks. This execution approach provides support for an isolated environment for business process execution. This isolates the changes made on different resources while executing a business process from the external world until the business process completes. It enables the ability to concurrently manipulate same resources in different components of a business process, and later resolve conflicts if any and merge the different views of the same resource manipulated by different components of a business process. It also enables easy and effective mechanisms for error recovery and rollback during business process execution.

Computer implemented method, system and computer usable program code for end-to-end transaction tracking of long-running processes such as a Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) process in a data processing system, such as a data processing system implemented in a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). A computer implemented method for tracking and correlating transactions in a process in a data processing system includes gathering instance identification data and instance state data regarding a transaction and storing the instance identification data and instance state data in association with transaction data regarding the transaction. Asynchronous event data is collected, and transaction performance information for an asynchronous event within the transaction is calculated using the transaction data. A tracking report of the transaction is then generated using the calculated transaction performance information.

Signals are mapped from one protocol to another protocol. A first protocol is received, and a mapping interface is generated to a second protocol. The first protocol is then mapped to the second protocol in accordance with the mapping interface. The mapping interface may comprise a coordination map. Moreover, a state diagram may be generated that is based on the first protocol, prior to mapping the first protocol to the second protocol. The first protocol may be an abstract protocol or a web services business activity protocol, for example, and the second protocol may be another abstract protocol, a concrete interface, a web services interface, a common language runtime interface, or a business process execution language for web services, for example.
