First, terms related to one or more embodiments of the present specification will be explained.

Credit service: the credit business is an important asset business of commercial banks, and benefits are obtained by paying money to withdraw principal and interest and deducting cost, so that the credit is a main profit means of the commercial banks. Including credit services, loan services, guarantee services, etc.

BPMN (business process modeling and labeling): an open standard symbology based on flow chart technology can use a series of business components defined by the open standard symbology to form a business flow chart. The criteria are used to model business processes and are widely used for business process management because they are easily understood by business users while also providing technical users with the ability to represent and implement complex processes.

BPMN2.0: BPMN version 2.0 BPMN2.0 is used to build business process model flow diagrams that are easy to follow, as with other business process modeling tools, BPMN2.0 helps stakeholders understand the process better through a commonly understood language. Visual representation of the steps involved in a business process allows business users to easily understand the manner in which the process works. At the technical level, BPMN2.0 provides enough detail to implement a flow.

Service identity: business products, also called business scenarios, such as 3C leases, monthly payments in credit business.

Functional node: abstract concepts in business such as payouts, etc. in credit business.

Expansion node: the concept of finer functionality, such as multiple extension nodes under the credit service's payoff function, such as application, audit, subscription payoff, notification mechanism, blockchain uplink, etc. In addition, the expansion node can be concrete or abstract, and the concrete expansion node is applied for and audited by standard business logic; abstract extension nodes such as subscription funding.

Extending node type: different business strategies under the expansion node, such as signing and paying in the credit field, can be bill core, loan core and direct property exchange, which correspond to a plurality of expansion point types. One functional node may comprise a plurality of extension nodes and one extension node may comprise at least one extension node type, i.e. service policy point.

The process is defined as follows: the specific executable flow, the service identity + the function node + the flow version number can determine a function flow, which is equivalent to a flow "class", following the BPMN specification.

The flow node: each load-bearing function node, or extension node, in the flow performs a logical node.

It should be noted that, taking credit service as an example, it is taken as a main profit means of online banking, including credit service, loan service, and guarantee service. For the implementation of credit business flow needs to be designed based on BPMN2.0 specification, the embodiment of the specification provides a platform credit business flow arrangement scheme based on BPMN2.0, a platform product is created, node expansion points and expansion point types of the credit business flow can be displayed for different business identities, a flow chart can be dynamically assembled and arranged and generated, the flow chart is called through a platform interface, customization processing is carried out, and the credit business flow obtained through customization complies with the BPMN2.0 specification.

In the present specification, a method for generating a business process is provided, and the present specification relates to a device for generating a business process, a computing device, and a computer-readable storage medium, which are described in detail in the following embodiments one by one.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 shows a flowchart of a method for generating a business process according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, which specifically includes the following steps 102-108.

Step 102: and receiving a creation request of the business process, wherein the creation request carries the business identity.

Specifically, the business process refers to a process that a business can execute to implement corresponding business processing. The service identity is a service function scenario, and is used for indicating in which service scenario a service flow is applied, such as a service scenario of leasing and paying in a month in the credit field.

It should be noted that, the method for generating a business process provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure may be applied to a process scheduling platform, where the process scheduling platform may be a terminal or a server. The process arranging platform can provide a process creating interface for a user, a plurality of service identities to be selected are displayed in the process creating interface, the service identities are provided with corresponding process nodes, the user can select a required service identity from the plurality of service identities provided by the process creating interface, after the selection is finished, a creating request of a service process corresponding to the service identity can be initiated, the creating request carries a service identity mark, and the service identity mark is used for indicating a service scene selected by the user.

Of course, in practical application, the user can also input the service identity by himself, the process arrangement platform queries whether the service identity input by the user is compliant or not from the server, that is, whether the corresponding process node is preconfigured or not, and if not, the user can be prompted to input again.

For example, fig. 2a is a schematic diagram of a process creation interface of a process arrangement platform according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 2a, where a process selection box is shown in a process creation interface provided by a process arrangement platform for a user, after the user clicks a drop-down button beside the process selection box, a plurality of service identities that can be selected, such as service identity 1, service identity 2, service identity 3, service identity 4, service identity 5, etc., are shown, the user can select a required service identity, and assume service identity 1, and then click a confirmation control, and initiate a creation request of a service process, where the creation request carries service identity 1.

When creating the business process, the user can select the needed business identity based on the actual requirement, and then initiate the corresponding creation request, and then create the business process corresponding to the business identity, and associate the business identity with the business process, so that the corresponding business process can be dynamically customized according to different business identities.

In an optional implementation manner of this embodiment, before the user creates the corresponding service flow through the flow arrangement platform, each flow node possibly involved may be written in the flow arrangement platform in advance, where the flow node may include a function node, an extension node, a service policy point, and the like, that is, before receiving a request for creating the service flow, the method further includes:

Creating at least one functional node;

Specifically, the functional node is an abstract concept in a service, and a node involved in implementing service processing, such as a paying function, a repayment function and the like in a credit service, and one functional node may include a plurality of extension nodes. The extended node is a more refined concept under the functional node, that is, the sub-node under the functional node, such as a plurality of extended nodes under the function of paying in the credit service, such as application, audit, subscription paying, notification mechanism, blockchain uplink, etc. The expansion node can be concrete or abstract, and the concrete expansion node is applied for and audited by standard business logic; abstract extension nodes such as subscription funding.

In addition, the service policy point refers to an execution policy of the extension node, and the execution policy may be expressed as an extension node type: different service policy points can be included under one extension node, such as subscription payment under credit service-payment functions, the service policy point can be a billing core or a loan core, and the service policy point can also be a direct property exchange, i.e. one extension node can correspond to a plurality of service policy points.

Note that, the annotation tag is used to identify that the annotation tag is an extension node in the frame, and the annotation tag has the attribute of the extension node, and the annotation tag is executed in the frame after the analysis processing. The attributes of the extended node may include service function, extended node identification, service policy point (i.e., extended node type), service identity, etc.

In addition, some types of expansion nodes may correspond to a plurality of service policy points for users to select according to requirements, while some expansion nodes correspond to default service execution policies, and the corresponding service policy points may not be set under the expansion nodes. That is, for the extension node of the set type, when the annotation label is added, the corresponding service policy point can be configured in the attribute information of the annotation label; for the non-setting type expansion node, when the annotation label is added, the corresponding service policy point can not be configured in the attribute information of the annotation label, namely, the attribute of the expansion node can comprise service functions, expansion node identifiers, service identities and the like. The setting type is a preset type of an expansion node corresponding to various business execution policies, for example, the setting type is an abstract type, and the expansion node aiming at the abstract type is a subscription and paying, and the corresponding business policy point is a bill core, a loan core, a property exchange and the like.

In practical application, a plurality of functional nodes can be created first, then expansion nodes under each functional node are written, annotation labels are added for the expansion nodes, and service strategy points corresponding to the expansion nodes are indicated through the annotation labels. In specific implementation, each expansion point on the code layer needs to provide a corresponding implementation interface, and annotation labels of the provided expansion nodes are marked on the specific expansion nodes. In addition, after the extension nodes under each function node are compiled and annotation labels are added for each extension node, the extension points can be scanned, namely jar (Java archive) packages of the compiled extension nodes are uploaded to a server, byte codes are dynamically updated, the extension nodes are brushed to container memories corresponding to the industry functions, and a follow-up user can conveniently inquire each flow node corresponding to the required service identity from the server through a flow arrangement platform.

Fig. 2b is a schematic container diagram of a functional node according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, where, as shown in fig. 2b, one functional node includes an extension node, and a service policy point is included under the extension node.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, a plurality of functional nodes, extension nodes, service policy points, and the like related to a service flow may be pre-written, an application scans the extension nodes, mounts the service flow on a server, and refreshes a corresponding functional container, and when a subsequent request for creating a service flow initiated by a user is received, each node corresponding to the service identity may be queried from the server and rendered to the user based on the service identity carried in the creation request, so that the user may customize a service flow corresponding to the service identity, and associate the service identity with the service flow.

Step 104: and determining and rendering the function node corresponding to the service identity and the extension node under the function node.

In one possible implementation manner, the service identity identifier carried in the creation request may be reported to the server, the server traverses each expansion node to find out the expansion node corresponding to the service identity identifier and the function node to which the expansion node belongs, and then the server may feed back the found function node and expansion node to the flow arrangement platform. The process arrangement platform can generate a corresponding service function diagram according to the function nodes and the form of the expansion nodes included under the function nodes, render the service function diagram, enable a user to edit the nodes on the displayed service function diagram later to generate a corresponding service process, and achieve the editability of the pre-configured service function diagram, namely the nodes on the pre-configured service function diagram can be hot plugged.

Of course, in specific implementation, the server may generate a corresponding service function diagram according to the function node and the form of the extension node included under the function node, and directly feed back the service function diagram to the flow arrangement platform for rendering and displaying, which is not limited in the present specification.

In another possible implementation manner, after each function node and each extension node are configured in advance based on the process arrangement platform, the configured function node and extension node may not be reported to the server, but may be stored in the local end, and may be traversed in the local end later, so as to query and determine the function node corresponding to the service identity and the extension node under the function node.

In addition, in addition to the above-mentioned configuration of the service identities corresponding to the extended nodes by adding the annotation tags to the extended nodes, the corresponding service identities may also be configured for the functional nodes, in this case, if a creation request of a service flow is received, the service identities carried in the creation request may be reported to the server first, the server first traverses each functional node based on the service identities to find out the functional node corresponding to the service identities, then traverses each extended node under the functional node to find out the extended node corresponding to the service identities, and then the server may feed back the functional node corresponding to the service identities and the extended node under the functional node to the flow arrangement platform.

It should be noted that, the annotation labels of the preconfigured expansion nodes are marked with corresponding identification marks, so that the functional nodes corresponding to the service identification marks and the expansion nodes under the functional nodes can be determined and rendered, and the subsequent user can select the required nodes from the displayed functional nodes and expansion nodes to customize the corresponding service flow.

In one implementation manner of this embodiment, for an extension node of a set type, the extension node may further include at least two service policy points; therefore, the function node corresponding to the service identity mark and the expansion node under the function node are determined and rendered, and the specific implementation can be as follows:

Specifically, the set type is a preset type of an expansion node corresponding to various service execution policies, for example, the set type is an abstract type, and the corresponding service policy point of the expansion node aiming at the abstract type is a bill core, a loan core, a property exchange and the like.

In practical application, the function node corresponding to the service identity identifier and each extension node under the function node are determined to be the same as the above process, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not repeated here.

In addition, after each expansion node corresponding to the service identity is determined, at least two service policy points corresponding to the expansion node of the set type in each expansion node can be further determined, and then corresponding service function diagrams are rendered and generated according to the function node corresponding to the service identity, each expansion node under the function node and each service policy point corresponding to the expansion node of the set type, so that a subsequent user can select a node required by the user from the displayed function node and expansion node, and a corresponding service flow is customized. And rendering and generating a corresponding service function diagram according to the function node corresponding to the service identity, each expansion node under the function node and each service strategy point corresponding to the expansion node of the set type, wherein the expansion node is an atomic component of the bottom layer.

Fig. 2c is a schematic diagram of a service function diagram provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, where, as shown in fig. 2c, taking a credit service as an example, assume that a service identity is financing lease, and include a function node that is a function node 1-credit, a function node 2-refund, and a function node 3-repayment. The function node 2 comprises an expansion node 1-payment application, an expansion node 2-payment audit, an expansion node 3-subscription payment, an expansion node 4-upper blockchain of a payment result and an expansion node 5-notification mechanism of the payment result. The type of the extension node 3 is an abstract type, and the abstract type comprises a business strategy point 1-property exchange, a business strategy point 2-loan core and a business strategy point 3-bill core.

After determining the function node corresponding to the service identity, the extension node under the function node and the service policy point under the extension node, the process arrangement platform can generate a corresponding service function diagram based on the logic sequence of the function node, the extension node under the function node and the service policy point under the extension node, and perform front-end rendering. Each node in the business function graph can be edited so that the user can customize the desired business process.

Step 106: and receiving node editing operation, and determining the updated target function node and the target expansion node corresponding to the target function node according to the node editing operation.

Specifically, the node editing operation is an operation of editing each node in the displayed service function diagram by a pointer, and the editing operation may include a selection operation, an addition operation, a deletion operation, and the like.

It should be noted that after the process orchestration platform renders the function node corresponding to the service identity identifier and the expansion node under the function node, that is, after the service function diagram is rendered and displayed, each node is a hot plug node, that is, each node can be edited, the user can select the node required by himself according to the actual service requirement, and the node selected by the user is the target function node and the target expansion node. That is, the user can select the function node and the extension node by means of the service identity through the service function diagram displayed by the flow arranging platform. The service function diagram can be a tree diagram, can also be in other forms, such as a table-form image, or can also be directly displayed in a table or text form without being displayed in the form of an image.

In an optional implementation manner of this embodiment, the node editing operation may include a selection operation, and at this time, according to the node editing operation, the updated target function node and the target extension node corresponding to the target function node are determined, and the specific implementation process may be as follows:

In practical application, the number of the functional nodes corresponding to the service identity is possibly multiple, and the user can select a required target functional node from the functional nodes corresponding to the service identity based on the practical service requirement, and the number of the target functional nodes can be one or multiple.

It should be noted that, the user may click on a desired function node from the displayed function nodes, where the function node clicked by the user is the function node indicated by the selection operation, that is, the target function node selected by the user, and then determine the target expansion node according to each expansion node under the target function node. Therefore, each displayed functional node is optional, and a user can freely select and match according to actual requirements, so that the corresponding business process is customized, and the user only needs to select and match the functional nodes without writing codes one by one, thereby simplifying the generation operation of the business process and improving the generation efficiency of the business process.

In an optional implementation manner of this embodiment, the node editing operation may further include an increase/decrease operation, where the target extension node is determined according to each extension node under the target function node, and the specific implementation process may be as follows:

It should be noted that, besides the target function node required by the selection in each displayed function node, the expansion node under the target function node can be increased or decreased, so that different service flows can be customized for the same function node, and the flexibility and applicability of the service flows are improved.

In practical application, if the node editing operation is an adding operation, it is indicated that the user wants to add a corresponding expansion node again on the basis of the currently displayed expansion node, and at this time, the newly added expansion node and each expansion node originally included can be used as a target expansion node selected by the user. If the node editing operation is the deleting operation, it is indicated that some expansion nodes are not needed under the current service identity, so that the expansion nodes to be deleted by the user can be deleted from the expansion nodes currently displayed, and the nodes except the deletion expansion nodes in the expansion nodes currently displayed are used as target expansion nodes selected by the user.

Of course, in practical application, after the user selects the target function node, the user may directly use each expansion node under the selected target function node as the selected target expansion node without editing the expansion node under the selected target function node.

For example, assume that the service identity is product a, select the function of paying for product a, assume that the currently displayed expansion node of the function of paying is expansion node 1-application for paying, expansion node 2-audit of paying, expansion node 3-sign-up paying, expansion node 4-upper blockchain of paying result, and expansion node 5-notifying mechanism of paying result. For the payout function, the user selects the expansion node 1-5 as the selected target expansion node. Assuming that the service identity is a product B, selecting a cash-out function for the product B, deleting the block chain on the 4-cash-out result of the expansion node by a user, and at the moment, enabling the 1-cash-out application of the expansion node, the 2-cash-out audit of the expansion node, the 3-subscription cash-out of the expansion node and the 5-cash-out result notification mechanism of the expansion node to be target expansion nodes selected by the user.

In an optional implementation manner of this embodiment, if a plurality of service policy points are configured for the set type of expansion node, then the user may further select a service policy point under the expansion point, that is, determine, according to the node editing operation, an updated target function node and a target expansion node corresponding to the target function node, where a specific implementation process may be as follows:

And determining the target function node, the target expansion node corresponding to the target function node and the target service policy point corresponding to the target expansion node according to the node editing operation.

In practical application, after the user selects the target function node, the user can further select the target service policy point required by the user if the target expansion node displays a plurality of service policy points aiming at the target expansion node selected by the user except for the expansion node under the target function node.

It should be noted that, if the determined expansion node corresponding to the service identity identifier has the expansion node of the set type, and the expansion node is preconfigured with a plurality of service policy points, the process arrangement platform displays the expansion node of the set type in the rendered service function diagram with a plurality of service policy points for the user to select, and the user can select the target service policy point corresponding to the service requirement from the displayed plurality of service policy points, so that the corresponding function node, the expansion node and the execution policy of the expansion node are customized based on the actual service requirement, thereby improving the flexibility and applicability of the service process.

Step 108: and generating a service flow corresponding to the service identity according to the target function node and the target extension node.

After the user selects the corresponding target function node and the corresponding target expansion node by means of the identity, the user can customize and generate a corresponding business process according to business execution logic of the target function node and the target expansion node, and the business process accords with the specification of BPMN 2.0. The version number can be set for each generated business process, so that a business process can be determined directly based on the business identity, the functional node and the process version number, and re-matching is not needed each time, thereby improving efficiency.

In an optional implementation manner of this embodiment, if a corresponding target service policy point is selected from a plurality of selectable service policy points for an extension node of a set type, then the selected target service policy point may be further combined to customize a corresponding service flow, that is, a service flow corresponding to a service identity identifier is generated according to a target function node and a target extension node, and a specific implementation process may be as follows:

After the user selects the corresponding target function node, the target expansion node and the target service policy point by means of the identity, the corresponding service flow can be customized according to service execution logic of the target function node, the target expansion node and the target service policy point, so that the corresponding service flow can be dynamically customized according to different service identities, the service identities are associated with the service flow, the user can customize and generate the corresponding service flow only by editing the displayed node, the operation process is simple, the required service flow can be quickly customized and generated in the service activities with high updating speed and frequent change, one-to-one code writing is not needed, the generation period of the service flow is shortened, and the development efficiency and the online efficiency of the service flow are improved.

By way of example, taking a credit service as an example, a flow of a payment function may include a plurality of nodes, such as signing payment, waiting for a payment result, a data upper blockchain, sending a short message to an organization, and the like, where the specific implementation of the nodes is to be carried on corresponding expansion nodes, where signing payment also has sub-types, such as bill core payment and loan core payment, and the two are service policies under the expansion nodes, that is, expansion point types, and the service party can select, according to own needs, service policies of expansion points and expansion points that are needed by the service party in the flow in a plug-in manner, where context information is transferred according to the needs of each node, and each node is independent of each other.

In an optional implementation manner of this embodiment, after the service flow corresponding to the service identity is generated, the service flow may be persistent, that is, according to the target function node and the target extension node, the service flow corresponding to the service identity is generated, and the specific implementation process may be as follows:

In practical application, the corresponding business process can be generated according to the business logic according to the target function node and the target extension node, and the generated business process is stored in the database so as to perform persistent storage on the generated business process. In addition, if the target service policy is determined for the target extension node, a corresponding service flow is generated according to the service logic of the target function node, the target extension node and the target service policy, and the service flow is stored in the database.

It should be noted that, the generated business process is stored in the database in a lasting manner, so that the subsequent query and management of the business process can be facilitated. After the generated business processes are stored in the database in a lasting manner, a process engine of the server can be triggered to load, namely the server can poll the database, the newly written business process BPMN is refreshed into the memory and is analyzed into a process definition through the process engine, a subsequent business process arrangement platform is convenient to acquire the corresponding business process from the server to test online, the correctness of the execution logic of the business process is ensured, and the online efficiency of the business process is ensured.

In an optional implementation manner of this embodiment, the process arrangement platform may obtain the service process from the server for test release, that is, after storing the service process diagram in the database, the method may further include:

and under the condition that the test passes, issuing a target business flow.

It should be noted that, the server may analyze the service flow in the database through the flow engine, analyze the service flow into a specific executable flow specification, and determine a functional flow by using the service identity, the functional node and the flow version number, which is equivalent to a flow "class", and follow the BPMN specification. Thus, the process orchestration platform may obtain a target business process from the server and render the target business process, where the target business process is any business process loaded by the server.

In practical application, after the process arrangement platform renders the target service process, test data can be acquired, the test data is input to each node corresponding to the target service process, the target service process provides a top layer API (Application ProgrammingInterface, application program interface) interface, and remote call is performed by introducing a jar packet so as to perform service processing on the test data, and a test result is determined based on the processing result, so that smoke test is performed. If the test result is normal, the logic operation of the target business process is normal in the test process, the test is passed, and the target business process can be issued at the moment so as to perform corresponding business processing through the target business process; if the test result is abnormal, the logic operation of the target business process is abnormal in the test process, the test is failed, the user is reminded to modify the target business process, and the target business process is not released. The test data may be the test data of the own service or may be randomly generated within a correct range of values.

In the embodiment of the specification, the process arrangement platform can acquire the target business process from the server, render the target business process, acquire test data to test the rendered target business process, and reissue the target business process. Therefore, the business process which passes the test is issued, and the accuracy of the business process is ensured.

In an optional implementation manner of this embodiment, after the target business process is published, the execution condition of the target business process may be further monitored, that is, after the target business process is published, the method may further include:

The execution progress may be node information currently executed.

It should be noted that, each step of the target business process is persisted into the database, the process arrangement platform can determine the execution progress of the target business process by querying the database, and render the execution progress of the target business process into the target business process displayed at the front end.

The embodiment of the specification provides a method for generating a service flow, when a creation request of the service flow is received, a functional node corresponding to the service identity and an expansion node under the functional node can be rendered according to the service identity carried in the creation request, a user can perform custom editing operation on each displayed node, an updated target functional node and a target expansion node corresponding to the target functional node can be determined according to the node editing operation, and then the service flow corresponding to the service identity is automatically generated based on the target functional node and the target expansion node. Therefore, the corresponding functional nodes and the expansion nodes under the functional nodes can be automatically displayed to the user according to the service identity carried in the creation request, so that the corresponding service flow can be dynamically customized according to different service identities, the service identity is associated with the service flow, the user can customize and generate the corresponding service flow only by editing the displayed nodes, the operation process is simple, the required service flow can be quickly customized and generated in the service activities with high updating speed and frequent change, the code writing is not needed one by one, the generation period of the service flow is shortened, and the development efficiency and the online efficiency of the service flow are improved.
