Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for automatic workflow processing in a workflow processing computer system. A federated data management system support module receives a data management activity description, determines a set of set references associated with the data management activity, determines a set of data sources associated with the set of set references within a federated data management system, determines whether the federated data management system includes infrastructure for accessing the references and for accessing the data sources, in response to determining that the infrastructure is not included, automatically creates the infrastructure from information in a metadata repository coupled to the federated data management system, replaces in the data management activity description references to set references and references to data sources by references to the infrastructure in the federated data management system, and delivers the data management activity description for execution by the system.
