Process definition templating?

[smeder]

I'm looking for some advice on how to deal with a case where the process definition is essentially the same for all instances, with the variation (in my case) being different start/end times for one of the task nodes. I can see multiple ways to go about this and am wondering what the prefered approach is (maybe I've missed something). Here's what I've been thinking:

* Create a differently parametarized process definition every time the parameters change.

* Create a process instance of a generic process definition and modify the process definition associated with the service. Does this even work? Is there a process instance specific process definition persisted with the process instance?

* Do something with RuntimeActions (not clear on if/how this would work)

* Others?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

If there are not too many veriations I would create a 'generic' process definition and some variables for all the possible variations. Use these variables to set the variations upon process instance creation.
