Abstract
Particular embodiments generally relate to the orchestration of an order fulfillment business process using effectivity dates and versioning. In one embodiment, a plurality of services in the order fulfillment business process are provided. A definition of a business process including one or more services is received from an interface. The one or more services may be defined in steps to be performed in the order fulfillment business process. An effectivity date associated with the definition is also received from the interface. For example, the effectivity date may be associated with the business process or individual steps in the business process and may specify a period of time during which the process or step can be used. The effectivity dates and versioning may then be enforced at run-time.
