SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING GUIDING MESSAGES IN CREATING AN INTEGRATION FLOW IN A CLOUD-BASED INTEGRATION PLATFORM

摘要

In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for generating messages guiding a user in creating an integration flow in a cloud-based integration service. The cloud-based integration service can include a web interface application for a current integration flow, and a runtime for executing the current integration flow. A plurality of complete integration flow definitions can be provided, each defining a plurality of integration components for a particular type of integration flow. The system can select a complete integration flow definition based on the type of the current integration flow, dynamically update the complete integration flow definition, and compare the current integration flow against the selected complete integration flow definition. Based on the comparison, the system can generate one or more messages for graphical display in the web interface application, to guide the user in creating the current integration flow.

1. A system for graphically displaying guiding messages for creating an integration flow in a cloud-based integration service, comprising:
a computer including one or more microprocessors; a cloud service, executing on the computer, wherein the cloud service includes a web interface application for creating a current integration flow, and a runtime for executing the current integration flow; a plurality of integration flow definitions, each defining a plurality of integration components for a complete integration flow of a particular type; and an integration flow analyzer that
selects a complete integration flow definition corresponding to the type of the current integration flow,compares the current integration flow against the selected complete integration flow definition, and,based on the comparison, generates messages for graphical display to guide a user in creating the current integration flow,
