Dataflow life cycles

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a plurality of instructions, which when executed, cause the one or more processors of a first server computing system to:
• form a dataflow life cycle by connecting a dataflow with customized code using connectors, the dataflow being a set of data transformation instructions, the customized code including one or more of pre-processing customized code and post-processing customized code;
• associate the customized code of the dataflow life cycle with context information prior to executing the dataflow life cycle, wherein the context information comprises contact information for a developer of the customized code and is stored in a configuration information field included in the dataflow life cycle;
• schedule the dataflow of the dataflow life cycle to be executed by a second server computing system when the customized code includes the pre-processing customized code that is successfully executed by the first server computing system;
• execute the post-processing customized code when the customized code includes the post-processing customized code and the dataflow of the dataflow life cycle is successfully executed by the second server computing system;
• use, by the first server computing system, the context information to notify the developer of the error in response to detecting an error during the execution of either the pre-processing or post-processing customized code by the first server computing system;
• generate, by the first server computing system, a pre-processing error notification using the context information, and preventing the dataflow of the dataflow life cycle from being executed by the second server computing system in response to failed execution of the pre-processing code by the first server computing system;
• and
• generate, by the first server computing system, a pre-processing successful notification using the context information in response to successful execution of the pre-processing code by the first server computing system.

A computer program product comprising computer-readable program code to be executed by one or more processors of a first server computing system when retrieved from a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the program code including instructions to:

• form a dataflow life cycle by connecting a dataflow with customized code using connectors, the dataflow being a set of data transformation instructions, the customized code including one or more of pre-processing customized code and post-processing customized code;
• associate the customized code of the dataflow life cycle with context information prior to executing the dataflow life cycle, wherein the context information comprises contact information for a developer of the customized code and is stored in a configuration information field included in the dataflow life cycle;
• schedule the dataflow of the dataflow life cycle to be executed by a second server computing system when the customized code includes the pre-processing customized code that is successfully executed by the first server computing system;
• execute the post-processing customized code when the customized code includes the post-processing customized code and the dataflow of the dataflow life cycle is successfully executed by the second server computing system;
• use, by the first computing system, the context information to notify the developer of the error in response to detecting an error during the execution of either the pre-processing or post-processing customized code by the first server computing system;
• generate a pre-processing error notification using the context information, and preventing the dataflow of the dataflow life cycle from being executed by the second server computing system in response to failed execution of the pre-processing code by the first server computing system;
• and
• generate a pre-processing successful notification using the context information in response to successful execution of the pre-processing code by the first server computing system.
