The present disclosure provides a method for deploying a business process, which is used to enable a business architecture generated by a user to be published into different process engines, so as to implement application of multiple process engines.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a deployment method of a business process provided by an embodiment. As shown in fig. 1, the method provided in this embodiment includes steps S101 to S103.

S101: and generating initial flow format data according to the business flow architecture input by the user.

In this embodiment, the user needs to determine the business process architecture according to the actual needs of the enterprise, and input the business process architecture into the business process software, so that the business process software can generate the initial process format data according to the business process architecture input by the user.

In this embodiment, the process of inputting the business process architecture into the business process software by the user may be a process of assembling a new flow chart element based on the basic flow chart element provided by the selection process, and a process of constructing a flow chart based on the assembled new flow chart element, specifically, steps S1011 and S1012.

S1011: and setting the flow chart element according to the user selected primitive and the attribute.

In practical application, the business process software provides a plurality of attributes including icons, form attributes, participant attributes, conditional triggering attributes, and the like of the primitive elements. The user selects the elements of the flow chart element to form the flow chart element.

For example, in a specific application of the embodiment, the elements of the flowchart include elements of the primitive and elements of the attribute, the elements of the primitive include fund audit, compliance audit and budget audit, the elements of the attribute include responsible person attribute, fund audit attribute, regulation attribute, risk point attribute and budget plan attribute, and the flowchart elements can be constructed as follows: (1) The fund auditing graphic element comprises a group person attribute, a fund auditing attribute and a rule attribute; (2) The attributes of the compliance audit primitives comprise a responsible person attribute, a rule attribute and a risk point attribute; (3) Budget auditing primitives, the attributes of which include responsible person attributes and budget plan attributes.

S1012: and forming a flow chart according to the ordering of the user to the flow chart elements.

For example, in one purchasing business process, a budget auditing-compliance auditing-fund auditing process can be constructed, so that according to the process, budget auditing process primitives, compliance auditing primitives and fund auditing primitives can be sequentially connected to form a flow chart.

After forming the flow chart and determining that the flow chart is correct, the business flow software analyzes the flow chart to generate initial flow format data.

S102: and converting the initial flow format data into matched flow format data to be matched by using the flow engine.

In the embodiment of the present specification, the business process software includes a conversion interface; the conversion interface can convert the initial flow format data according to the flow engine equipped at the bottom layer to form matched flow format data; in the data conversion, the attribute part of the initial flow format data is mainly analyzed to determine the form attribute, the participant attribute and the condition triggering attribute, and the format or the representation mode of each attribute is converted again according to the format of the matched flow format data.

In a specific application, the conversion interface may use steps S1021-S1022 to form matching flow format data.

S1021: and converting the initial flow format file data into standard flow format data.

In practical applications, the standard flow format data may be industry standard flow format data, for example, may be BPMN2.0 standard format data, or may be specific format data formed on the manufacture of a plurality of flow engine software. In practical applications, the standard flow format data is preferably XML format data.

S1022: and converting the standard flow format data into matched flow format data matched with the flow engine to be used.

In step SS1022, the business process software configures the process engine and simultaneously configures an interface corresponding to the process engine, and the interface can convert standard process format data into corresponding matched process format data according to the requirement of the process engine input interface. The matching flow format data may be directly loaded by the flow engine.

S103: and publishing the matched flow format data to a flow engine to realize the deployment of the business flow.

In step S103, the business process software directly sends the matching process format data to the process engine, and at this time, the process engine can directly identify parameters in the matching process format data to realize the operation of the process; at this time, the process engine may run the process constructed by the user and generate corresponding return parameters.

In a specific application, the process business software can adopt the method to realize the release of the process and provide services such as process initiation, task inquiry, task completion and the like when in subsequent use.

In the process of executing various services, the flow engine may also generate corresponding return parameters; after receiving the return parameters generated by the flow engine, the flow business software converts the return parameters into data corresponding to the matched flow format data according to the mapping relation between the matched flow format data and the initial flow format data.
