Business process federated repository

摘要

Methods and apparatuses provide for a meta-repository to store business processes from different backend systems and make the business processes available to the different backend systems. In one embodiment, the backend systems execute incompatible software, but the business processes are standardized and can be instantiated in each of the backend systems.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
providing a business process meta-repository that stores an original business process, the meta-repository aggregating business processes from multiple backend systems to make the business processes available to multiple backend systems; receiving, at a business process modification module in an enterprise server, a suggested modification to a component of a phase of the original business process; analyzing the suggested modification prior to deployment of a modified business process, including to determine whether the suggested modification produces an expected result; generating via the enterprise server, the modified business process by applying the suggested modification to the original business process including modifying a process object of the original business process with business process application logic based on an analysis of the suggested modification; and storing the modified business process and the suggested modification in the meta-repository with the original business process, the suggested modification, the modified business process and the original business process being available to the multiple backend systems independently, the modified business process available to be instantiated from the meta-repository into any of the multiple backend systems including instantiating any business process application logic to enable functioning of the modified business process on any of the multiple backend systems.
