A METHOD AND A COMPUTER SYSTEM FOR SCHEDULING PROCESSES IN PROCESS CHAINS

摘要

A method and a computer system for automated processing of data objects, the computer system comprising a computing unit (12); and a data base (20) containing data objects forming process chains (30, 32, 34) of linked data objects; the computing unit (12) further comprising a selection module (16) allowing for selection of at least one initial data object; a preparation module (14) for identifying at least one process chain containing the initial data object to be processed and for determining all of the data objects which are linked with the selected data object in causal relation; a process module (22) for processing the determined data objects and the initial data object, the processing preferably comprising resetting the determined data objects, executing the desired processing of the initial data object and recalculating consecutively the determined data objects reset in the resetting step being in causal relation with the initial data object.
