1. A method of updating objects in an object-based computerized system, comprising:

  • providing a related environment within the system comprising operative versions of computer objects, where at least some of the objects are used for control of real world objects in the process;

    providing at least one engineering environment within the system, the engineering environment being isolated from the related environment;

    receiving a request from a system-modifying user in a group of system-modifying users associated with the at least one engineering environment, to import selected versions of at least some objects to the at least one engineering environment from the related environment;

    importing the selected versions to the at least one engineering environment;

    allowing the group to modify the imported objects for creating modified versions of these objects and barring other users from modifying the imported objects;

    receiving a request from a system-modifying user of the group to export objects of the at least one engineering environment to the related environment after modification of the imported objects is finished; and

    exporting objects to the related environment responsive to the request, wherein the exporting the objects includes replacing current versions of objects in the related environment with modified versions from the at least one engineering environment, for making the modified versions the current versions.
