Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of optimizing the performance of a workflow management system (WFMS). SOLUTION: The method can be executed by at least one computer system using the WFMS, with the WFMS accessing a database including at least one process model and instance generation (process instance) of the process model. The method proposes the transfer of an object of the database to an archive database (archive function). Preferably, the object transferred to the archive database is a process instance, which is preferably selected from all of the instances of a certain process model according to a certain characteristic value of the process model.
