    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for workflow data redistribution in a hybrid computing environment comprising a private portion and a public portion of the hybrid computing environment. A received user request, that is serviced by a workflow executed by one or more computing devices of the hybrid computing environment, is parsed to extract criteria of the workflow for servicing the user request. It is determined whether a catalog data structure exists in a public catalog data store of the public portion that satisfies the criteria of the workflow and if not, the user request is processed in a workflow manager computing system of the private portion to generate a catalog that satisfies the criteria of the workflow and generate a result. A portion of the catalog is redistributed by storing the portion of the catalog in the public catalog data store of the public portion.
