Abstract

See full text

A computerized transaction execution with a workflow management systems (WFMS) executes a process model consisting of a network of potentially distributed activities including transactional work items. A computerized methodology defines, controls and processes a collection of a transactional work items ensuring the atomicity of the collection of transactional work items. The collection of transactional work items owns a separate commit scope not influenced by a commit scope potentially implemented within said transactional work items. The WFMS is enabled to infer details of the process model of collections of transactional work items which can be processed in the sense of global transactions with a common commit scope. Transactional work items with a common commit scope are combined into atomic spheres. The collection of transactional work items constitute a common atomic sphere in an alternative embodiment.
