ABSTRACT:
A method for re-executing a process on a computer system is described wherein said process includes a number of activities which are executed by said computer system according to a workflow graph. Each of said activities requires for its execution at least one work item incarnation from another one of said activities, and each of said activities creates at least one work item incarnation to be used by another one of said activities. The method comprises the steps of a) identifying by a user one of said activities to be faulty and correcting it, b) evaluating by said computer system those ones of said activities which are influenced by said faulty activity with the help of said at least one work item incarnation created by said faulty activity, and c) executing by said computer system said corrected faulty activity and said evaluated activities according to said workflow graph. The described method has the advantage that all activities being incorrect due to the faulty activity are re-executed automatically by the computer system.
