Abstract
Methods and systems for identifying groups of related nodes in an integration flow are disclosed. A method includes: receiving, by a computing device, an integration flow document including information indicative of: (i) a plurality of nodes, with each node representing a processing step in an integration flow, (ii) a plurality of input parameters, and (iii) a plurality of input sources; determining, by the computing device, a plurality of mappings, with each mapping representing an association between an input parameter and an input source; determining, by the computing device, a plurality of grouped nodes of the plurality of nodes based upon the plurality of mappings; receiving, by the computing device, a request to perform a first operation on a first target node of the plurality of nodes; determining, by the computing device, that the first target node is included in the plurality of grouped nodes; and in response to determining that the first target node is included in the plurality of grouped nodes, performing, by the computing device, the first operation on each grouped node of the plurality of grouped nodes.
