Abstract: A computer-readable medium, computer-implemented method, and system are provided. In one embodiment, a compensation pattern is defined for a step of an executable process, and the step of the executable process is executed. A change request is received, and, based on the change request, the compensation pattern is applied to the step of the executable process.

Abstract: A computer-readable medium, computer-implemented method, and system are provided. In one embodiment, one or more attributes as delta attributes are defined, and a new order object is determined which references an original order object. The original order object referenced by the new order object is determined and the new order object is compared with the original order object to determine one or more delta attributes. The one or more delta attributes are then stored.

Abstract: A computerized system or method to provide business process or case modeling of business processes, wherein the method or system provides a method to reflect changes to a metamodel of activities, rules, interfaces and types within engine infrastructure components as well as physical data type systems at runtime, by the decoupling of technical instance state(s) and instance data from the physical process or workflow or case definitions and the meta-model modeling the business processes, in order to reflect changes to a metamodel of the business processes, including wherein the business model includes activities, rules, interfaces and types within engine infrastructure components and physical data type systems at runtime.

Abstract: A framework is provided for enabling and managing customizations to an application. In one embodiment, techniques are provided that enable the customizability of an application to be controlled based upon hierarchical relations between elements of the application.

Abstract: A computer-readable medium, computer-implemented method, and system are provided. In one embodiment, a compensation pattern is defined for a step of an executable process, and the step of the executable process is executed. A change request is received, and, based on the change request, the compensation pattern is applied to the step of the executable process.

Abstract: A computer-readable medium, computer-implemented method, and system are provided. In one embodiment, an original executable process is executed in a regular mode. When a change request is received, the original executable process is stopped, and a new executable process is created. The new executable process is then executed in a change mode.

Abstract: A computer-readable medium, computer-implemented method, and system are provided to save a state of an executable process. In one embodiment, an executable process is executed. At a milestone, a state of the executable process is saved. Subsequently, the executable process continues to be executed.
