Automatic workflow generation

A workflow system for automatically generating a workflow from one or more files containing code statements for accessing and modifying information in a destination database, the workflow system comprising:

• at least a memory and a processor to perform operations comprising:
• determining dependencies between code statements;
• building a dependency graph by arranging the code statements according to the dependencies between the code statements;
• dividing the dependency graph between code statements occurring prior to a barrier code statement and code statements occurring after the barrier code statement;
• validating, by a validator, the divided dependency graph;
• scheduling jobs based on the divided dependency graph;
• annotating the code statements according to the scheduled jobs by automatically embedding annotations into comments of the code statements, wherein the annotations include a job identifier indicating the scheduled jobs associated with a respective code statement and a dependency indicator identifying dependencies to other scheduled jobs;
• and
• automatically generating a workflow based on the annotated code statements.

One or more computer-readable storage media comprising instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution by one or more processors, perform operations comprising:

• determining dependencies between code statements;
• building a dependency graph by arranging the code statements according to the dependencies between the code statements;
• dividing the dependency graph between code statements occurring prior to a barrier code statement and code statements occurring after the barrier code statement;
• validating, by a validator, the divided dependency graph;
• scheduling jobs based on the divided dependency graph;
• annotating the code statements according to the scheduled jobs by automatically embedding annotations into comments of the code statements, wherein the annotations include a job identifier indicating the scheduled jobs associated with a respective code statement and a dependency indicator identifying dependencies to other scheduled jobs;
• and
• automatically generating a workflow based on the annotated code statements.
