Spring CData Flow not create application on PCF dashboard

Question

I'm a beginner with Spring Cloud Data Flow and I'have a strange problem with it. I create a simple "helloworld" cloud Task application and i'm trying to register it using Spring Data Flow. I pushed the spring-cloud-dataflow-server-local-1.6.3.RELEASE.jar into my PCF space setting the following env variable:

---
applications:
- name: data-flow-server-personal
  host: data-flow-server-personal
  memory: 1G
  disk_quota: 1G
  instances: 1
  path: ./spring-cloud-dataflow-server-local-1.6.3.RELEASE.jar
  env:
    SPRING_APPLICATION_NAME: data-flow-server
    SPRING_CLOUD_DEPLOYER_CLOUDFOUNDRY_URL: https://api.run.pivotal.io
    SPRING_CLOUD_DEPLOYER_CLOUDFOUNDRY_ORG: {org}
    SPRING_CLOUD_DEPLOYER_CLOUDFOUNDRY_SPACE: development
    SPRING_CLOUD_DEPLOYER_CLOUDFOUNDRY_DOMAIN: cfapps.io
    SPRING_CLOUD_DEPLOYER_CLOUDFOUNDRY_USERNAME: {myPCFUser}
    SPRING_CLOUD_DEPLOYER_CLOUDFOUNDRY_PASSWORD: {myPCFPassword}
    SPRING_CLOUD_DEPLOYER_CLOUDFOUNDRY_SKIP_SSL_VALIDATION: true
    SPRING_APPLICATION_JSON: '{"maven": { "remote-repositories": { "repo1": { "url": "https://repo.spring.io/libs-release"} } } }'

After that, using the "spring-cloud-dataflow-shell-1.6.3.RELEASE.jar" i registered the "helloWorld" task application using the following command:

dataflow:>app register --name myApplication --type task --uri https://github.com/durante-ap/test-job/raw/master/raw/batch-cloud-job-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
Successfully registered application 'task:myApplication'
dataflow:>task create helloWorld --definition myApplication
Created new task 'helloWorld'
dataflow:>task launch helloWorld
Launched task 'helloWorld'
dataflow:>task list
╔═══════════?═══════════════?═══════════╗
║Task Name  │Task Definition│Task Status║
╠═══════════?═══════════════?═══════════╣
║helloWorld │myApplication  │COMPLETE   ║
╚═══════════?═══════════════?═══════════╝

The task was sucessfully executed, but when i try to see if any application is created into PCF using the command cf apps i see only the data-flow-server-personal application

    name                      requested state   instances   memory   disk   urls
    data-flow-server-personal started           1/1         1G       1G     data-flow-server-personal.cfapps.io

What i missed into the configuration? I need to see the task application in order to inspect the log of this task using the command

cf logs helloWorld

You are using task application which is a short-lived one. That means, once the task application completes processing, it no longer exits.

You need to have the cf logs helloworld opened before you launch the task to see the logs of this.
