Abstract

A system and method for integrating distributed business processes that govern message exchange between loosely coupled business applications. The system and method includes the use of an integration scenario. The integration scenario includes a delivery integration model that defines one or more design time business processes. The integration scenario further includes a configuration integration model that defines a runtime configuration of the one or more design time business process. Transformation modules are provided to transform the integration scenario from the delivery integration model to the configuration integration model, and vice versa.
