Abstract

A system and methods providing the automated configuration management and configuration information communication/deployment for a business process server computing application operating in a distributed computing environment is provided. In an illustrative implementation, a configuration management and configuration information communication/deployment tool operating in a distributed computing environment allows cooperating parties cooperating to operate a business process server computing application to more easily and efficiently update the configuration information of one or components of the business process server computing application responsive to changes in business practice changes between the cooperating parties. In the contemplated implementation, packages are requested by the cooperating parties using the configuration tool. The packages contain information indicative of desired business practice changes and the information required to reconfigure the business application to accommodate such changes. The tool allows for closed loop and real-time testing of the configuration changes.
