Techniques are disclosed for consuming and integrating with representational state transfer (REST) based services. In one embodiment, a multiple-step extract, transform, load (ETL) job includes one or more REST steps. Each step in the ETL job performs a particular well-defined task, and the REST step in particular constructs REST requests, invokes REST services, and retrieves REST responses. The REST step may be mapped to a vector of inputs such that multiple REST service calls are made for each of the inputs. Further, a reusable connection may be employed so that one connection can be used to make multiple REST service calls. URLs used to make REST service calls may be dynamically constructed based on input data parameters and ETL job parameters. Additionally, a graphical user interface (GUI) allows users to configure aspects of a REST step.

An application performs a regression test by the application processing a use case. Actual output data generated by the application processing the use case can be compared to expected output data and whether the actual output data matches the expected output data can be determined. Responsive to determining that the actual output data does not match the expected output data, the actual output data can be compared to refreshed source data and whether the actual output data matches the refreshed source data can be determined. Responsive to determining that the actual output data matches the refreshed source data, an automated remedy action can be automatically selected, and the expected output data can be updated with the refreshed source data by implementing the automated remedy action.

Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for generating a view for a schema. A schema provides a definition of elements, wherein at least one of the elements comprises a recursive element of a recursive data type, wherein the recursive data type allows for instances of the recursive element to include instances of that same recursive data type at different levels in a hierarchy. Indication is received to transform the recursive types to non-recursive structures. A view for the schema is generated including information on the indication to transform the recursive types to non-recursive structure, wherein the processing of the data defined by the view causes a parser to generate a structured element for each instance of the recursive element in schema data being parsed, wherein the generated structured element includes a unique identifier of the instance of the recursive element.

Provided are techniques for social media bot to Representational State Transfer (REST) proxy for data systems. An adapter for a social media application and message to Representational State Transfer (REST) mappings are provided. A social media bot is created to represent a data system component. The social media bot and the adapter are used to enable the data system component to interact with the social media application by using the message to REST mappings to map social media messages for the social media application and REST calls that are used to access the data system component.

Provided are techniques for interactive social media access to data systems. A social media gateway interface with adapters for each of multiple social media applications is provided. An event is published from a data system to at least one of the multiple social media applications. A social media bot is created to represent the data system. The social media bot and one of the adapters are used to enable the data system to interact with at least one of the multiple social media applications.

Provided are techniques for personalizing data system components and data sources as chatbots in a group chat session. A social media gateway interface with a chat adapter for a chat application is provided. One or more chatbots that each represent a corresponding component of a data system are created. The one or more chatbots and the chatbot adapter are used to manage each corresponding component of the data system.

Techniques describe generating an end-to-end web application. A user interface (UI) design tool generates a first application that includes a UI having one or more UI elements. One or more classifications of server properties (e.g., REST resource names, JSON names, CRUD actions, etc.) are mapped to each of the UI elements. A data schema is generated from the classifications. A machine-readable description of the data schema and mapped classifications is generated. The UI design tool generates a second application from the machine-readable description. The second application is an implementation of the UI of the first application and the machine-readable description.

Method of generating end-to-end web application from tooling

A computational device receives a plurality of versions of an input data schema. At least one element is selected from the plurality of versions of the input data schema based on an expected result. A combined schema is generated based on the at least one selected element. The input data is processed according to the combined schema.

Provided are techniques for auto-generating Representational State Transfer (REST) services for quality assurance. One or more test cases and artifacts are received for a project. A test Representational State Transfer (REST) service is generated for the project using the one or more test cases and the artifacts. The test REST service is deployed on an application server for use in testing features of a REST service client application.
