Abstract:
Method of generating and using executable workflow objects in a message driven process comprising:a. interrogating a user as to information needed to define a workflow object of the message driven process;b. incorporating user interrogated information into a skeleton of source code, whereby the combined information and skeleton constitutes a complete source code list,c. compiling the source code list into executable code, andd. storing the executable code as a workflow object which can be selectively incorporated in workflows of the message driven process to satisfy a request from a client;e. incorporating the workflow object into a workflow by translating a related request message from a client process into one or more units of work, comprising one or more workflow objects, at least one of which are sent to a server process in apparatus for communicating information between one or more client processes running on respective host processors and one or moer server processes running on one or more host processors by way of message driven processor.
