  • Patent number: 12050907
    Abstract: An apparatus, and a method, performed by one or more processors are disclosed. The method receives a build request associated with performing an external data processing task on a first data set, the first data set being stored in memory associated with a data processing platform to be performed at a system external to the data processing platform. The method generates a task identifier for the data processing task, and provides, in association with the task identifier, the first data set to an agent associated with the external system with an indication of the data processing task, the agent being arranged to cause performance of the task at the external system, to receive a second data set resulting from performance of the task, and to provide the second data set and associated metadata indicative of the transformation. The method receives the second data set and metadata from the agent associated with the external system and stores the second data set and associated metadata.
