Abstract

Described herein is a system and method for dependency version conflict auto-resolution for executing job(s). During execution of a particular version of a workflow comprising tasks, information regarding a particular task to be executed is received. The particular task is dependent on another task. Information regarding the dependency is retrieved from a global dependency data structure (e.g., graph) that stores current dependency information regarding the tasks. When it is determined that the conflict exists with respect to the dependency of the particular task on the another task, information regarding the dependency and workflows is retrieved, information regarding a dependency change history regarding at least one of the plurality of tasks, information regarding the particular version of the workflow and a different version of the workflow. A resolution to the conflict can be identified based, at least in part, upon the retrieved information, and, a correct action performed.
