Abstract

An efficient reusable, extensible light weight framework statelessly orchestrates system activities in any application which involves a series of sequential or parallel set of activities involving computational logic, data retrieval and persistence services. Actual orchestration steps and activities and computational logic are specified into configuration files, separate from the orchestration engine itself, thereby eliminating the need to code for such logic and activities. The framework can eliminate the need to code business logic and orchestration of data retrieval services by externalizing them into configuration files, resulting in lower costs to implement, test and maintain such system during its lifespan.

Claims16

Dependent claims

An order management system comprising:

a middle tier that comprises one or more servers, wherein the one or more servers of the middle tier execute an orchestration engine that orchestrates calls to one or more back-end systems for implementing trade orders for financial products;
and
a computer-based artifact translation hardware system that is configured, through programming, to:
receive a configuration file that specifies a sequence of activities to be performed by the orchestration engine, wherein the configuration file comprises an activity table that specifies the sequence of activities to be performed by the orchestration engine;
and
generate, at compile time, metadata code artifacts from the configuration file, wherein the metadata code artifacts capture the sequence of activities to be performed by the orchestration engine, and wherein the orchestration engine manages the calls to the back-end systems to obtain data and execute a business logic to implement the trade orders, utilizing the metadata code artifacts at runtime, wherein the activity table lists a plurality of activities to be performed by the orchestration engine;
and each of the plurality of activities is assigned a step sequence identifier that identifies when the activity is to be performed in the sequence, such that multiple activities listed in the activity table are permitted to have a common step sequence identifier;
and the metadata code artifacts generated by the artifact translation system specifies the sequence of activities to be performed by the orchestration engine, such that the activities with the common step sequence identifier are to be performed synchronously by the orchestration engine.

A method of configuring a computer-implemented order management system, wherein the order management system comprises a middle tier that comprises one or more servers, wherein the one or more servers of the middle tier execute an orchestration engine, the method comprising:

receiving, by a computer-based artifact translation system, a configuration file that specifies a sequence of activities to be performed by the orchestration engine, wherein the configuration file comprises an activity table that specifies the sequence of activities to be performed by the orchestration engine;
generating, at compile time, by the computer-based artifact translation system, metadata code artifacts from the configuration file, wherein the metadata code artifacts capture the sequence of activities to be performed by the orchestration engine, and wherein the orchestration engine uses the metadata code artifacts at runtime to manage the calls to the back-end systems;
and
orchestrating calls to one or more back-end systems of the order management system, utilizing, at run time, by the orchestration engine of the middle tier, the metadata code artifacts for implementing trade orders for financial products to obtain data and execute a business logic to implement the trade orders, wherein the activity table lists a plurality of activities to be performed by the orchestration engine;
and each of the plurality of activities is assigned a step sequence identifier that identifies when the activity is to be performed in the sequence, such that multiple activities listed in the activity table are permitted to have a common step sequence identifier;
and the metadata code artifacts generated by the artifact translation system specifies the sequence of activities to be performed by the orchestration engine, such that the activities with the common step sequence identifier are to be performed synchronously by the orchestration engine.
