Abstract: A method for process instance migration from a former process model to a new process model comprises analysing a former process model and a new process model and their data models to extract a process change model relating to changes in the new process model on which to define migration rules, analysing one or more existing process instances and retaining process instances whose current state has passed the changes in the new process model, generating candidate activities of the retained process instances, generating a set of conditions for the candidate activities, and generating a set of actions to be taken if a condition is met. The method may also include presenting the generated set of conditions and set of actions to a user enabling the user to combine conditions and actions to produce a process instance migration program in the form of a set of rules. A system and computer program product for implementing the method are also claimed. The invention is intended to ensure consistency when migrating running process instances form an old version of a business process to a new version.

Abstract: The current invention relates to a technology for processing of compensation scopes comprised within atomic scopes of a process model by a Workflow Management System or a computer system with comparable functionality (WFMS). The method comprises a step of checking whether the atomic scope of the process instance of that process model has been aborted abnormally. If this is the case, in a further step it is analyzed if in the process model the compensation scope has been associated with a specific atomic scope behavior specification, defining a specific abort handling for the compensation scope in the particular case that the compensation scope is comprised within an atomic scope and the atomic scope has been aborted. In a final step the compensation scope is processed according to the specific atomic scope behavior specification.
