Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional orchestration techniques for landscape management services have limitations due to their non-custom, static, and predefined nature, leading to complexity and difficulties in managing system landscapes effectively across multiple components.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method and system for orchestrating custom processes across system landscapes, using a dynamic and extensible framework that determines implicated entities and subsets based on operations graphs and constraints, allowing for the creation and execution of custom processes tailored to specific system landscapes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional predefined orchestration techniques are used, then system stability is maintained, but adaptability to custom processes deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the static, predefined orchestration system into a dynamic one by introducing runtime process models that can be customized and adapted to specific landscape management needs. The system allows processes to be defined dynamically based on operational requirements rather than being constrained to fixed predefined sequences, enabling flexibility while maintaining manageability through structured process definitions.
2Adaptability or versatility
If traditional static orchestration is used, then system simplicity is maintained, but process customization capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs lightweight, parameter-driven process definitions that can be quickly created, modified, and discarded based on specific landscape management requirements. Instead of building complex permanent customization frameworks, the system uses simple process models with configurable parameters that can be adapted rapidly without requiring substantial system changes or maintenance overhead.
3Adaptability or versatility
If predefined atomic operations are used, then system reliability is maintained, but scope of operations deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the orchestration system into hierarchical layers: reliable predefined atomic operations form the foundation, while customizable process models built upon them extend operational scope. This segmentation allows the system to maintain reliability through proven atomic operations while achieving versatility through composable process definitions that can be validated against the stable atomic operation layer.
4Productivity
If complex predefined operations are used, then operational scope is increased, but system complexity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a nested structure where simple atomic operations are contained within composite operations, which are in turn nested within customizable process models. This nesting allows complex landscape management scenarios to be built by composing simpler validated components, increasing productivity while managing complexity through hierarchical organization and reuse of proven operation patterns.
