Appl. No.:

15/332426

Inventors:

- Redmond WA, US
Yuriy Labunets - Redmond WA, US

International Classification:

G06F 9/44

Abstract:

Various methods and systems for generating an idempotent workflow are described herein. In one example, a method includes detecting distributed code and identifying a boundary function in the distributed code. The method can also include separating the boundary function into a transition function, a non-idempotent function, and a reversion function. Additionally, the method can include transforming the non-idempotent function into an idempotent function by generating a flag corresponding to the non-idempotent function, wherein the flag indicates if the non-idempotent function has been executed. Furthermore, the method can include combining the transition function, the idempotent function, and the reversion function to form the idempotent workflow.
