[jbpm-users] modify running processes

[Abid Hussain]

Anybody out there? In my question I just wonder how the change of demands on 
already defined and running processes can be handled.

Maybe this is a stupid question but in our business scenario it is very unlikely 
to foresee all eventualities which can come up during a process execution and 
therefore it is important to somehow be able to react on changed demands.

On the other hand it is a definite requirement that the process execution can be 
controlled/observed by a software environment.

Or is it in this kind of scenario not recommended to use a process 
definition/execution environment?

Regards,

Abid
