Abstract

A method, an apparatus, and a system for enhancing application reliability of a script-based service are disclosed. The method includes: analyzing data source information of a script-based service; obtaining current state information of the data source of the script-based service according to the analysis result; and judging the availability state of the script-based service according to the obtained current state information. With the technical solution of the present invention, a related analysis function is added to a script-based service server to analyze related data source information in the script-based service logic and mark the script-based service. In this way, a user can know the state of the script-based service when requesting a service, thus avoiding unnecessary service trials, saving system resources, and improving the user experience.

Claims

1. A method for enhancing application reliability of a script-based service comprising:

analyzing data source information of the script-based service;

obtaining current state information of a data source of the script-based service according to the analysis result;

determining an availability state of the script-based service according to the obtained current state information;

storing the availability state of the script-based service;

marking the availability state of the script-based service as available when the availability state of the script-based service is determined to be available;

marking the availability state of the script-based service as unavailable when the availability state of the script-based service is determined to be unavailable and a state information conversion rule reported by a service access management fails to be received;

performing conversion matching on the obtained current state information of the script-based service according to the state information conversion rule when the availability state of the script-based service is determined to be unavailable and the state information conversion rule reported by the service access management is received;

marking the availability state of the script-based service as available when the conversion matching succeeds; and

marking the availability state of the script-based service as unavailable when the conversion matching fails.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein analyzing the data source information of the script-based service is triggered by receiving a request for creating the script-based service from a user.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein analyzing the data source information of the script-based service is triggered by receiving a request for detecting the availability state of the script-based service.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein receiving the request for detecting the availability state of the script-based service comprises:

judging whether to detect the availability state of the script-based service when receiving a request for executing the script-based service from a user and determining that the availability state of the script-based service is unavailable; and

generating the request for detecting the availability state of the script-based service when the judgment result indicates that availability state of the script-based service is to be detected.

5. The method of claim 3, wherein receiving the request for detecting the availability state of the script-based service comprises receiving the request for detecting the availability state of the script-based service directly from a user.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein obtaining the current state information of the data source of the script-based service comprises:

sending a state information subscription request for subscribing to the state information of the data source to the service access management system according to the analysis result of the data source of the script-based service; and

receiving the current state information of the data source of the script-based service reported by the service access management system.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein before analyzing the data source information of the script-based service, the method further comprises:

receiving a service adapter registration request sent from a third party data source; and

accessing, by a script-based service server, private service data of the third party data source through the service adapter.

8. A script-based service server comprising:

a processor configured to;

analyze data source information of a script-based service;

obtain current state information of a data source of the script-based service according to the analysis result;

judge an availability state of the script-based service according to the current state information; and

perform conversion matching on the current state information of the script-based service according to a state information conversion rule when the availability state of the script-based service is determined to be unavailable and the state information conversion rule reported by a service access management system is received.

9. The server of claim 8, wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive a request for creating the script-based service from a user;

receive a request for executing the script-based service from the user;

or

receive a request for detecting the availability state of the script-based service.

10. The server of claim 9, wherein the processor is further configured to generate a request for detecting the availability state of the script-based service according to the request for executing the script-based service received from the user.

11. The server of claim 10, wherein the processor is further configured to:

identify the current availability state of the script-based service;

judge whether to detect the availability state of the script-based service when the current availability state of the script-based service is determined to be unavailable; and

generate the request for detecting the availability state of the script-based service when the judgment result indicates that the availability state of the script-based service needs to be detected.

12. The server of claim 8, wherein the processor is further configured to:

send a state information subscription request for subscribing to the state information of the data source to the service access management system according to the analysis result; and

receive the current state information of the data source of the script-based service reported by the service access management system and/or receive the information conversion rule reported by the service access management system.

13. The server of claim 8, wherein the processor is further configured to:

return a script-based service creation result to a user when a request for creating the script-based service is received from the user;

execute the script-based service when a request for executing the script-based service is received and the availability state of the script-based service is determined to be available; and

return the script-based service execution result of to the user when the request for executing the script-based service is received from the user, or return a state detection result of the script-based service to the user when the request for detecting the availability state of the script-based service is received from the user.

14. The server of claim 8, wherein the processor is further configured to:

provide a non-open data source access function; and

provide a third party service provider with a data source adapter such that the script-based service server can access a third party private data source.

15. A script-based service server comprising:

a processor configured to;

analyze data source information of a script-based service;

obtain current state information of a data source of the script-based service according to the analysis result;

judge an availability state of the script-based service according to the current state information;

receive a request for executing the script-based service from a user;

generate a request for detecting the availability state of the script-based service according to the request for executing the script-based service received from the user;

identify the availability state of the script-based service;

judge whether to detect the availability state of the script-based service when the current availability state of the script-based service is determined to be unavailable; and

generate the request for detecting the availability state of the script-based service when the judgment result indicates that the availability state of the script-based service needs to be detected.
