A method of executing plural versions of business process management software on a single integration server. A plurality of components are defined. The components can include executable process logic of a business process and at least one port defining a standard representation of an external interface of said component. Connections between ports of desired components are also defined. The components and connections are stored in a repository as a set objects and the set of objects is loadedas a first version in a first runtime environment by configuring run time properties of the set of the objects. After modification of the set of objects, the modified set can be loaded as a second version in a second runtime environment by configuring run time properties of the set of the objects as modified.

An integrated modeling environment for creating integration models of computer architecture for executing business processes. The models include components having ports defining standard interfaces. The components can represent business process models for executing business processes. Connection information is stored in a repository so that binding of communication protocols can occur during deployment after creation of the model and can be looked up during runtime.

Versioning Method for Business Process Models

A method for versioning business process models within BPM systems is provided. For this method, each version of a business process model is allowed to have an associated label. The label is defined by a user of a process modeler within a BPM system. The user can also choose the active version of each business process model. The business process server (execution engine) of the BPM system creates business process models using the active versions of the business process models. Changes in an active version (i.e., by replacement with a new active version) do not effect existing business process models. These existing business process models continue using the business process models with which they are created. In this way, the versioning method allows business process models to be changed within active BPM systems, without the need for system shutdown.
