A data flow design system is presented that includes support for both static elements and dynamic elements. Thus, the data flow design system provides a design environment graphical tool to users to design data flows that leverage both the repeatability of static elements and the adaptability of dynamic elements. Static elements process data that typically do not change over time, while dynamic elements process data that do change. For instance, new data fields are added to an input data source of a data flow. The dynamic elements automatically link the new data fields to mapping fragments of the data flow. Mapping fragments process data based on configuration parameters including expression and filter rules. Users use a user interface of the design environment to view and add mapping fragments, static links, and dynamic links to the data flow.

A method, and a corresponding system, provide for configuring nodes in a computer system according to a user's intent. The computer system includes one or more nodes. The method includes receiving a configuration command from a user, including an identification of one or more of the nodes to be configured; determining available programs for configuring the one or more nodes; determining requirements for applying the available programs to the one or more nodes and displaying the requirements to the user for selection; receiving user selections from the displayed requirements; and executing the requirements to configure the one or more nodes.
