Description

  The present invention relates to control of committing an electronic document to a database in a workflow system.

  In recent workflow systems, a plurality of forms are created at the same event and the same timing and circulated in the workflow system.

  For example, in the case of marriage, a company application form, address change notification, commuting route change notification, etc. may be created prior to marriage. Although there is a need to vote, in practice there was a problem that it was not possible to respond quickly because forgetting the draft after the event or being delayed in application.

  Therefore, in Patent Document 1, when a plurality of forms are created at the same event and at the same timing and circulated in the workflow system, work is performed on the person in charge after the drafter based on the relationship between the plurality of forms by the event. There has been proposed an invention for reducing the workload of a worker in charge and improving work efficiency by giving instructions.

JP 2000-251022 A

  However, in the invention disclosed in Patent Document 1, since the form is managed based on the relation of a plurality of forms, it is possible to find relevant cases from many cases. Each case is processed alone. For example, if an error occurs when writing a form to the database, there will be a difference in processing results between multiple related forms, such as what has been written normally or an error has occurred. As a result, there is a problem that a problem occurs.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems, the present invention has an object to provide a mechanism in which a problem does not occur in a processing result between a plurality of related forms when a form cannot be normally written when the form is written to a database.

[First Embodiment]
Hereinafter, details of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of a workflow system to which this embodiment is applied.

  A workflow system according to the embodiment includes a workflow and slip design computer terminal (workflow and slip design terminal) 400, and a workflow operation computer terminal (workflow operation terminal) provided corresponding to a processor (person in charge) who performs a task. Terminal) 300, various tables for executing a workflow, and a workflow server 200 for storing various programs.

  The workflow and slip design terminal 400, the workflow operation terminal 300, and the workflow server 200 are each connected to a network 500 and operated.

  The workflow and slip design terminal 400 includes a slip designer program 401 and a system management program 402, and creates a slip definition used in the workflow system and various definition information used in the workflow system. For example, the workflow and slip design terminal 400 can register an organization table, role table, user table, user role table, delivery definition information, various slip information, and the like in the workflow server 200. In order to perform these operations, the workflow and slip design terminal 400 can connect to the workflow server 200 by inputting its own identification information.

  The workflow operation terminal 300 uses the Web browser 301 executed on the workflow operation terminal 300 to transmit access information regarding the slip to the workflow server 200 by HTTP, and receives the result. At this time, the generated display / calculation processing is executed by using a Java (registered trademark) applet 302 or the like. The workflow operation terminal 300 is arranged for a person in charge (for example, a drafter, a section manager, a department manager, etc.) who performs a predetermined job specified in advance.

  The workflow server 200 includes information related to the workflow system (organization table, role table, user table, user role table, delivery definition information, delivery information table, viewing right table (former viewing right table, approver viewing right table), various types RDBMS (Relational DataBaSe Management System) 205 for storing slip information, HTTP server 201 for receiving a request from workflow operation terminal 300 and executing the request, servlet engine 202, workflow program 203, SMTP for realizing a workflow notification function The server 204 is configured.

  Hereinafter, a hardware configuration of a computer applicable to the workflow server 200, the workflow operation terminal 300, the workflow and the slip design terminal 400 illustrated in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of a hardware configuration of a computer applicable to the workflow server 200, the workflow operation terminal 300, the workflow and slip design terminal 400 shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 2, reference numeral 101 denotes a CPU, which is stored in a ROM 103 or a hard disk (HD) 104 (any other storage device such as a flexible disk, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, etc.) 104. The entire computer is controlled by loading the program onto the RAM 102 and executing it. The RAM 102 is used as a work area for the CPU 101.

  A communication interface 108 enables connection to the communication network 500. An input device 106 corresponds to a pointing device such as a keyboard or a mouse. Reference numeral 107 denotes a display device, which includes a CRT, LCD, or the like.

  Note that the RDBMS 205 of the workflow server 200 illustrated in FIG. 1 is built in the HD 104 of the workflow server 200. In addition, the HTTP server 201, the servlet engine 202, the workflow program 203, and the SMTP server 204 of the workflow server 200 are realized by the CPU 101 of the workflow server 200 loading and executing a program stored in the HD 104 on the RAM 102. The

  Further, the Web browser 301 of the workflow operation terminal 300 shown in FIG. 1 is realized by the CPU 101 of the workflow operation terminal 300 loading and executing a program stored in the HD 104 on the RAM 102.

  Further, the Java (registered trademark) applet 302 of the workflow operation terminal 300 shown in FIG. 1 is executed by the CPU 101 of the workflow operation terminal 300 executing the program downloaded from the workflow server 200 on the Web browser 301. Realized.

The slip designer program 401 and the system management program 402 of the workflow and slip design terminal 400 shown in FIG. 1 are loaded into the RAM 102 by the CPU 101 of the workflow and slip design terminal 400 by loading a program stored in the HD 104. It is realized by executing.
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing the flow of slips in the workflow system shown in FIG.

  In the workflow system according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, using the workflow operation terminal 300, the person in charge defined by an organization and a role called a node for issuing a slip and approving / rejecting the slip. Do. A business process is defined as a group of nodes to which a slip is delivered.

  A business process requires several steps from its start to its end. In each step, several procedures (draft, approval, denial, hold, etc.) can be taken.

  For example, in the case of the business process shown in FIG. 3, in order from node 0 to node 4, the steps of employee → department → department manager → department manager → president are taken, “draft” → “approval / denial” → “approval / Consists of procedures of “deny” → “approval / denial” → “approval / denial”.

The procedure can take several procedures at each step (node). It can be classified mainly into forward procedures (application, approval, etc.) and backward procedures (denial).
Information defining such a business process is called route information.
FIG. 4 is a sequence chart showing a conventional workflow sequence. Corresponds to a workflow in which another application is automatically issued for one application.
First, the user 400 presses the application button for slip A on the client 410 in step S401.

  Next, in step S402, the client 400 automatically applies for the slip B and also applies for the slip A in step S403. Here, it is assumed that the application button of the slip A is set to automatically apply for the slip B when the button is pressed (details will be described later). Upon receiving the application, the server 420 stores the slip B in the DB 430 in step S404, and if there is no problem, the server 420 commits to the DB in step S405 and reflects it in the database.

  Next, in step S406, the server 420 stores the slip A in the DB 430. If there is no problem, the server 420 commits to the DB 430 in step S407 and reflects it in the database.

  However, in the method of FIG. 4, the processing of the slip B in step S404 and the slip A in step S406 is performed in parallel, so even if a problem occurs in either one, if one side succeeds, commit to the DB There is a problem that will be done.

  FIG. 5 is a sequence chart corresponding to the first mode, and is a sequence chart showing a workflow sequence for performing transaction processing in which both slips A and B are stored and then both slips are committed. The same reference numerals are used for the same components as in FIG.

  The user 400 presses the application button for slip A in step S501. In step S <b> 502, the client 410 applies for the slip B and the slip A that are automatically applied when the application button of the slip A is pressed.

  The server 420 stores the slip B in step S503, and then stores the slip A in step S504. If there is no problem in both the slip A and the slip B, the commit to the DB 430 is performed in step S505.

  FIG. 6 is a sequence chart corresponding to the second mode. FIG. 5 illustrates the processing when the transaction processing is performed, but this sequence chart deals with a problem that occurs when the transaction processing is not performed. The problem is a case where the slip B is successfully committed and the slip A cannot be committed when the slip B is automatically applied along with the slip A application. In this case, since the slip A cannot be committed, when the user applies for the slip A again, there is a problem that even the slip B that has already been committed is applied again.

  To cope with this problem, in the second mode sequence chart of FIG. 6, it is confirmed whether or not voucher B automatically applied with voucher A application has been applied in the past. , It controls to not apply again. The same components as those in the sequence charts of FIGS. 4 and 5 are denoted by the same reference numerals.

  The user 400 presses the application button for slip A in step S601. In step S <b> 602, the client 410 confirms whether or not the automatically applied slip B has already been applied to the DB 430 by applying for the slip A. Specifically, in step S604, the server 420 confirms by searching for the slip B recorded together with the ID of the slip A in the DB 430. After that, when the voucher B has not been applied, the voucher number of the voucher A is added to apply for the voucher B. When the voucher has been applied, the voucher B is not applied. Detailed processing will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

The client 410 applies for the slip A in step S603, and the server 420 stores the slip A in step S605. If there is no problem, the server 410 commits to the DB 430 in step S606.
As an example, a system will be described in which a commuting route change notification is automatically applied when an address change notification is applied.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a slip screen of a workflow system to which the present invention can be applied. When the application button A of the address change notification 900 is pressed, when the address change notification is applied, the commuting route change notification slip 920 is automatically applied. The commuting route change notification may be applied without using the commuting route change notification slip 920 or without starting the slip screen.

First, the address notification change notification 900 will be described. The screen of this slip is displayed on the client PC, and an application is made when the user inputs. The user inputs the slip number 901, employee number 902, name 904, department 905, changed address 906, address change date 907, and the like in predetermined entry fields. These items may be automatically input to the system.
In addition, the user can input remarks in the remarks 908 as necessary. In the approval column 909, an approver's seal or signature can be input.

  In addition, an application button 910, a hold button 911, a release button 912, a print button 913, a mail button 914, and an end button 915 are set. Each button is also called an object, and processing after the button is pressed can be set.

FIG. 10 shows an object setting (editing) screen 1000 of the calculation button 910. In the slip selection column 1001, the address change notification 900 is set, and in the object column 1002, “calculation” is set as the type of this object, and “application object” is set as the name. In the slip selection field 1001, a slip registered in the system can be called and displayed by pressing a slip selection button.
In the conditional expression column 1003, it is possible to set execution conditions for objects. In this embodiment, it is shown that unconditional is set.

  In the calculation formula column 1004, a calculation formula when the button defining this object is pressed is set. This content is processed when the application button 910 in which this object is defined is pressed. In the calculation formula column 005, “commuting route change object” is first extracted as the first process, and then “address change slip” is delivered as the second process. Here, extraction refers to calling a commute route change object and applying for a commute route change notification. Delivery means applying for an address change slip. That is, when the application button 910 is pressed from the screen of the address change notification 910, an application for an address change notification is made at the same time that a commute route change notification is automatically applied.

  FIG. 12 is an image diagram in which the contents set in the application object are stored by the object editing screen 1000 in FIG. The processing order 1201 indicates the processing order when the set object is executed. The object type 1202 indicates the object type, and the processing content 1203 sets the processing content of the set object.

  First, “commuting route change object” is extracted as the first process, and then “address change slip” is set as the second process. Here, extraction refers to calling a commute route change object and applying for a commute route change notification. Delivery means applying for an address change slip.

  The commuting route change notification 920 in FIG. 9 is a slip used when the user changes the commuting route, and is displayed on the client PC. However, in the present embodiment, when the application button 910 is pressed, a commuting route change notification is automatically applied, so the screen of the commuting route change notification 920 is not displayed. The contents to be entered in the commuting route column 928 to be changed are selected from a correspondence table in which a home address (not shown) and the nearest station, and a work place and a use station are recorded in association with each other. This correspondence table is stored in the RDBMS 205 of the workflow server.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a control flow of the client 410. As a process performed before entering the process of this flowchart, when a slip A (address change notification slip) is applied as set in FIG. 10, a slip B (commuting route change notification slip) is automatically applied. Processing is performed.

  In step S701, it is determined whether or not transaction processing is performed to process a plurality of slips at a time. Specifically, it is determined whether or not to perform the first mode processing shown in the sequence chart of FIG. The setting for whether to perform transaction processing is stored in the workflow definition information.

  If it is determined in step S701 that transaction processing is to be performed, in step S709, the slip B and slip A are applied to the server as one transaction. In step S710, it is determined whether or not the application is successful. If the application is successful, OK display is performed in step S714 and the slip screen is closed. On the other hand, if it fails, an error is displayed in step S715 and the slip screen is closed. Examples of cases where the failure is determined include a communication error, a system error such as a delivery destination not found, a database system error, and other system errors (such as memory shortage).

  If it is determined in step S701 that transaction processing is not performed, it is determined in step S702 whether or not the reapplication suppression function is ON. Whether to use the re-application suppression function can be set on the object edit screen shown in FIG.

  If it is determined in step S702 that the reapplication suppression function is OFF, the process proceeds to step S703, and thereafter, the workflow processing shown in the sequence chart of FIG. 4 is performed.

  In step S703, an application for slip B is made, and in step S704, it is determined whether or not the application is successful. If successful, the process proceeds to step S705. If unsuccessful, the process proceeds to step S713, an error is displayed, the slip screen is closed, and the process is terminated.

  In step S705, an application for slip A is made. In step S706, it is determined whether the application is successful. If successful, the process ends normally in step S711, and the slip screen is closed. On the other hand, when it fails, it progresses to step S712, an error display is carried out, a slip screen is closed, and a process is complete | finished.

  If it is determined in step S702 that the re-application suppression function is ON, the processing in the second mode shown in the sequence chart of FIG. 6 is performed. Whether or not the re-application suppression function is ON is determined based on the contents set in the commuting route change object.

  As a result, when a change in commuting route is automatically applied with an address change, it becomes possible to apply transaction processing to a problem in which a malfunction occurs when one of the errors occurs. In addition, it is possible to set the address change and commute route change asynchronously. However, in that case, a voucher that is automatically applied will be applied many times. In that case, it is possible to prevent multiple applications by using the reapplication suppression function. By combining these functions, it is possible to realize an automatic application function that matches the application content.

  FIG. 11 shows an object editing screen 1100 for a commuting route change object. Address change notification is selected in the slip selection field 1101. In the object column 1102, “extraction” is set as the object type, and “commuting route object” is set as the name. “ON” or “OFF” is set in the transaction column 1105 and the reapplication suppression column 1106. When the transaction is “ON”, a transaction mode process synchronized between slips as shown in FIG. 5 is performed. The content set to “OFF” is processed asynchronously between slips as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 13, it is stored in the RDBMS 200. FIG. 13 is an image diagram of the RDBMS in which the contents set on the object editing screen of FIG. 11 are stored.

  If it is determined in step S702 that the reapplication suppression function is ON, in step S707, it is confirmed whether the slip B has been applied. Specifically, it is performed by checking the table stored in the DB.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an image of data written in the DB upon application for an address change notification. The slip number 1401, the address change date 1402, the employee number 1403, the name 1404, and the changed address 1405 are stored.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an image of data written in the DB upon application for a commuting route change notification. A slip number 1501, a route change date 1502, an employee number 1503, a name 1504, a route 1505 after change, and an address change number 1506 are stored. The address change slip number 1506 is an item given when an automatic application is made with an application for an address change notification. When the user applies manually, what is applied from the commuting route change notification slip in FIG. 9 is stored.

  In step S707, whether or not voucher B has been applied has already been applied for the commuting route change notification that has been automatically applied for by the address change notification, that is, the address change notification source that has been automatically applied to address change voucher number 1506. This is done by determining whether the slip number is listed. If the slip B has been applied (that is, reapplied), the process proceeds to step 3705.

On the other hand, if the application for the slip B has not been made (that is, the first application, not a re-application), in step S708, the original address change notification slip number is added to the address change slip number 1506 column. Thereby, even if the writing of the slip A fails, the slip B can be prevented from being reapplied.
Next, in step S704, it is determined whether the writing of the slip B has been successful. If the writing has failed, an error is displayed in step S713, the slip screen is closed, and the processing is terminated.

On the other hand, if the writing of the slip is successful, the application for slip A is applied in step S705, and if the writing is successful in step S706, if successful, the processing ends normally and closes the slip screen and fails. In that case, an error is displayed in step S712, the slip screen is closed, and the process is terminated.
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a control flow of the workflow server 200. This corresponds to the processing of the server 420 in the sequence charts of FIGS.

  First, in step S801, it is confirmed whether or not two or more slips are to be processed. This is processing of two or more slips in the case of the first mode, that is, transaction processing in step S701 in FIG.

  If it is determined in step S801 that there are two or more processes, that is, transaction processes, the process proceeds to step S806, and the repetition of the number of slips is started.

  In step S807, the delivery destination set in the route information is determined. In step S808, it is determined whether a delivery destination has been determined. If it is determined that the delivery destination has failed, the process proceeds to rollback processing in step S814. On the other hand, if the delivery destination is determined, it is stored in the database in step S809. In step S810, it is determined whether the storage is successful. Examples of cases where the failure is determined include a communication error, a system error such as a delivery destination not found, a database system error, and other system errors (such as memory shortage).

  If storage in the database fails in step S810, the process proceeds to rollback processing in step S814. On the other hand, if the storage is successful, the process proceeds to step S811, and is repeated by the number of slips. When the repetition is completed, the process proceeds to the commit process in step S812.

  If it is determined in step S801 that the processing is not for two or more slips, the delivery destination set in the route information is determined in step S802. In step S803, it is determined whether the delivery destination has been determined. If it is determined that the delivery destination has failed, the process proceeds to the rollback process in step S814. On the other hand, if the delivery destination is determined, it is stored in the database in step S804. In step S805, it is determined whether the storage is successful. Examples of cases where the failure is determined include a communication error, a system error such as a delivery destination not found, a database system error, and other system errors (such as memory shortage).

If the storage in the database fails in step S805, the process proceeds to the rollback process in step S814. On the other hand, if the storage is successful, the process proceeds to the commit process in step 812.
In step S812, commit to the DB is performed, and in step S813 a normal end status is returned to the client, and the process is terminated.
In step S813, a rollback process is performed. In step S815, an error status is returned to the client, and the process ends.

  Note that part or all of the client processing in FIG. 7 and the server processing in FIG. 8 may be performed on the client side and the server side. Therefore, according to the present invention, when reopening a voucher stored by a drafter having a plurality of authorities, it is possible to open the voucher with an appropriate authority without troublesomeness.
