Abstract
Techniques are described to enable a user to define data-transition rules that control how a handover component of a computer application transforms business objects of one type to business objects of another type. The handover component is logically situated between a preceding business process that uses a preceding type of business object and a second business process that uses a second type of business object. Based on the user-defined data-transition rules, the handover component performs a split/merge process that determines the succeeding business objects to be generated based on the preceding business objects received from the preceding business process and then generates the succeeding business objects based on the received preceding business objects and the user-defined data-transition rules.
