INTER-APPLICATION TRANSFORM BUILDER FOR CLOUD APPLICATIONS

摘要

A method, system, and computer program product for customization of flows between software applications. A system implementation commences by associating a first application with a first graphical object descriptor, and by associating a second application with a second graphical object descriptor. A graphical user interface such as an integrated development environment is used to drag/drop the graphical object descriptors and other graphical objects to form logical connections between the first graphical object descriptor and the second graphical object descriptor. The installation of an application is modified (e.g., using a patch), which modification is performed based at least in part on the logical connections. The logical connections between the applications handles inter-application communication such that upon executing the modified first application at least some outputs from the modified first application are processed using the logical connection to produce modified first application results which are in turn received by the second application.

主权项

1. A computer implemented method comprising:
associating a first application with a first graphical object descriptor; associating a second application with a second graphical object descriptor; forming a logical connection between the first graphical object descriptor and the second graphical object descriptor; modifying a behavior of the first application, the modification based at least in part on the logical connection; and executing, in a processor, the modified first application wherein at least some outputs from the modified first application are processed using the logical connection to produce modified first application results.
