AUTO-RECOVERY OF KNOWN APPLICATION/WORKFLOW FAILURES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240338278 titled 'AUTO-RECOVERY OF KNOWN APPLICATION/WORKFLOW FAILURES
The abstract of the patent application describes a methodology where a computing device monitors the status of a workflow execution and, in case of a failure, determines if the error is a known error. If it is a known error, the device compares the audit trail of the workflow execution with a documented failure scenario and performs recovery actions accordingly. If the error is not known, the device determines recovery actions and updates a record of known failures.
- Monitoring workflow execution status
- Determining if error is a known error
- Comparing audit trail with documented failure scenario for known errors
- Performing recovery actions for known errors
- Determining recovery actions for unknown errors
- Updating record of known failures
Potential Applications: - Automated workflow management systems - Error detection and recovery in complex processes - Enhancing efficiency in business operations
Problems Solved: - Streamlining error recovery processes - Improving workflow execution reliability - Reducing downtime in operations
Benefits: - Minimizing disruptions in workflow - Enhancing productivity and efficiency - Facilitating quick error resolution
Commercial Applications: Title: "Automated Workflow Error Recovery System" This technology can be utilized in industries such as manufacturing, finance, and healthcare to optimize workflow processes, reduce operational costs, and improve overall performance.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the methodology determine if an error is a known error? The methodology compares the audit trail of the workflow execution with documented failure scenarios for known errors to make this determination.
2. What are the potential benefits of using this methodology in a business setting? Using this methodology can lead to reduced downtime, improved efficiency, and enhanced productivity in business operations.
Original Abstract Submitted
an example methodology includes, by a computing device, monitoring a status of a workflow execution and, responsive to a determination of a failure of the workflow execution, determining whether an error associated with the failure is a known error. the method also includes, responsive to a determination that the error is a known error, comparing an audit trail of the workflow execution with a failure scenario documented for the known error and, responsive to validating that the audit trail is the documented failure scenario, performing one or more recovery actions documented for the known error. the method may also include, responsive to a determination that the error is not a known error, determining one or more recovery actions for the error and the audit trail, and updating a record of known failures with the error, the audit trail, and the one or more recovery actions.
