Abstract

Workflow management for maintaining consistency of persisted state across communicating components via batching of uncommitted work. A workflow component defines a workflow containing work items to be performed by service provider components. The workflow component assigns the work items to the service provider components, and the service provider components acknowledge the assigned work items. The workflow component appends the assigned work items to a work batch. The workflow component creates a transaction containing the batched work items. The workflow component commits to the workflow by requesting the service provider components to perform the work items. The workflow component checks the state of the execution of the work items and stores the state in a persistent storage.
