Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products detect and manage changes in business data integration (BDI) solutions. BDI solutions include extracting, mapping, or loading source information from disparate sources as targets presented to business applications that consume targets. A method involves detecting changes in a BDI solution, classifying each of the changes based on change severity, analyzing what objects would be impacted by the changes, determining whether the objects impacted by the changes can be change handled without user intervention, and change handling without user intervention all the objects impacted by changes that are not severe. Still further, the method involves committing changes to a metadata repository and creating a deployable checkpoint of the metadata repository where the deployable checkpoint is consistent for all the changes handled in the BDI solution.

Abstract: A source multidimensional data model is associated with a target multidimensional data model, for purposes of, for example, copying or linking data between the source and the target. Individual dimensions are mapped from the source to the target. Within each mapped dimension, individual dimension members are mapped from the source to the target. The resulting association may be stored and utilized to generate executable statements for copying or linking data between the source and the target.
