Transaction Integrity

FITS MR092011286

FITS Requirement Type: Product

–To ensure transaction integrity, the task submission in BPMDB should be in the same transaction with operations in application database.

•Coach submission and its follow up service can be in a global transaction
–It's common scenario that customers will use. After coach is submitted to server, customer will update business databases as well  because they want to keep a copy of the business data in business databases. So updating BPMDB and business databases must be in a global transaction to ensure the transaction integrity. If any DB operation failed, the transaction can be rolled back to previous status and the end user has to re-submit the form again.

•Human task WS-APIs can be configured to join the external global transaction
–It's very common BPM deployment architecture that most of customer want to have, or already adopt, implement UI by WAS and only use BPM as engine
–Currently our Web API does not support WS-T. so there is no guarantee of transaction integrity cross business layer and business process layer
