According to one embodiment of the present invention, a system for processing a computer program for a distributed server environment executes the computer program in the distributed server environment in accordance with a configuration for the computer program. The computer program is generated within a development environment. The configuration indicates a type of server environment and is associated with one or more data sets for processing by the computer program. The system monitors execution of the computer program within the distributed server environment and provides a program status to the development environment. The system displays results produced by the computer program within the distributed server environment via the development environment. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and computer program product for processing a computer program in substantially the same manners described above.

Program development in a distributed server environment

A computer program product is provided as a system and associated method that allows the user to view a hierarchical lineage in a tree format even in the event of recursive circular relationships. The system prevents the lineage tree from being infinitely expandable truncating tree expansion when encountering a child that has previously appeared in the tree. If the user attempts to expand on an object that leads to a child already displayed in the tree, the system replaces the child's icon with one that resembles a recursive icon. The recursive icon is displayed by the system at the point of recursion, showing that an infinite, recursive relationship has occurred.
