Abstract
A data processing apparatus includes a first storage that stores information pertaining to an order in which multiple process flows are executed, the execution of the multiple process flows being started by input of data and terminated by output of the data in a format usable for a user, a reception part that receives input data with respect to one of the multiple process flows, an execution part that executes the one of the multiple process flows on the input data, and a second storage that stores information indicating the one of the multiple process flows executed by the execution part. The execution part identifies a predetermined process flow to be executed with respect to the input data by referring to the first and second storages. The predetermined process flow is a process flow to be performed earliest among the multiple process flows that are not yet executed.
