The topic of this paper is the persistence of the NewWave tool for managing business processes into a relational database. Given that the Pharo programming language was used to implement the NewWave system, persistence is implemented with the help of the Pharo object-relational mapper called GLORP (Generic Lightweight Object Relational Persistence), in combination with the PostgreSQL database. The implementation of the solution itself can be divided into two parts. The first refers to the persistence of business process models, while the second focuses on the persistence of individual instances of business process execution.
