Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product is provided to create an integration process between a source system and target system. The method includes creating a mapping between one or more source objects and one or more target objects and providing a work flow as part of the integration process. A limited subset of operations is selectively included from a sequence of activities in the complete workflow that interact with the one or more source objects and one or more target objects by comparing metadata and identifying one or more customized source objects and one or more customized target objects responsive to the comparisons. The limited subset of operations is sequenced in a stepwise template that streamlines the integration process between the source system and target system, by focusing on mappings between and operations performed upon source objects and target objects associated with the limited subset of operations.
