A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11874847B2) outlines a method for generating process protocols from process data within an IT system. The system includes extraction, storage, and transformation nodes, with process data stored in client systems. An application catalog on a server system manages application templates, each comprising an installation program and configuration data. These templates are instantiated, configured, and run on the server system, with monitoring and management by a runtime component. Process protocols are derived from the process data based on control instructions executed on the extraction, storage, and transformation nodes, as specified in the configuration data of each application template.

The method involves client systems connected to the server system via a communications network, with process data generated by running processes in the client systems. The data, part of source data stored in the client systems, includes information on process instances and steps. Extraction, storage, and transformation nodes on the server system work together to extract, store, and generate process protocols from the data. The extraction node specifies communication protocols, optimizes data, and transfers it to storage nodes. The transformation node structures the process protocols according to a predetermined data format, with attributes like unique identifiers and process step order. Control instructions, including extraction and transformation instructions, are sent to the nodes by the runtime component, ensuring efficient data processing and protocol generation across multiple client systems utilizing the shared server system.
