Abstract
An apparatus includes a processor to: receive a job flow definition; retrieve the most recent versions of a set of task routines for the defined job flow; translate, into an intermediate representation, executable instructions of each task routine implementing an interface for data input and/or output during execution; translate executable instructions of the job flow definition that defines the interface for each task routine into an intermediate representation; compare each intermediate representation from a task routine to the corresponding intermediate representation from the job flow definition to determine if there is a match; and in response to there being a match for each comparison and to the executable instructions of the job flow definition being written in a secondary programming language, translate the executable instructions of the job flow definition into a primary programming language, and store the resulting translated form of the job flow definition in a federated area.
