Systems and/or methods for automatic detection and correction of problems in a flow service for an integration platform-as-a-service integration to reduce design time issues

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that, when performed by a processor of a system, detect and correct errors in services defining an integration of disparate computing components in an integration platform-as-a-service environment by performing operations comprising:

• iterating through the services to identify reference mappings therein;
• for each identified reference mapping in each of the services, determining whether a reference corresponding to the respective identified reference mapping is valid;
• and
• for each reference determined to be not valid:
• determining an error type associated with the respective reference;
• and
• automatically and programmatically replacing an aspect of the reference, provided that the error type determined for the respective reference is of a first type.

A system for detecting and correcting errors in services defining an integration of disparate computing components in an integration platform-as-a-service environment, the system comprising:

• an interface configured to enable access to a representation of the services defining the integration;
• processing resources including at least one processor and a memory coupled thereto, the processing resources being configured to perform operations comprising:
• accessing the representation of the services via the interface;
• iterating through the services to identify reference mappings therein;
• for each identified reference mapping in each of the services, determining whether a reference corresponding to the respective identified reference mapping is valid;
• and
• for each reference determined to be not valid:
• determining an error type associated with the respective reference;
• and
• automatically and programmatically replacing an aspect of the reference, provided that the error type determined for the respective reference is of a first type.
