TASK MANAGEMENT INTEGRATED DESIGN ENVIRONMENT FOR COMPLEX DATA INTEGRATION APPLICATIONS
First Claim
1. A method for managing a design process of a data integration workflow, the method comprising:
- presenting a design representation of the data integration workflow, wherein the design representation shows each of a plurality of stages included in the data integration workflow and wherein each stage is associated with a set of tasks performed as part of the data integration workflow;
receiving a tag to associate with a first one of the stages, wherein the tag indicates that at least a first task associated with the first stage is incomplete;
updating, based on the received tag, the design representation to reflect that the first stage has at least one incomplete development task.

Abstract
Embodiments presented herein provide task management capabilities for designing a complex data integration workflow in an integrated design environment (IDE). A task management tool of the IDE allows a developer to tag various stages of a data integration workflow in a non-linear manner. When the task management tool receives a tag for a given stage, the task management tool identifies incomplete tasks associated with the stage and generates a task list that includes the incomplete tasks. The developer may return to completing any of the tasks in the workflow in any sequence as desired.
