1. A method for detecting and managing changes in a business data integration (BDI) solution, comprising:

  • detecting one or more changes in a BDI solution wherein the BDI solution comprises extracting, mapping, or loading source information from disparate sources as one or more targets presented to one or more source-independent business applications that consume the targets;

    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;

    change handling without user intervention all the objects impacted by changes that are not severe;

    committing the changes to a metadata repository; and

    creating a deployable checkpoint of the metadata repository wherein the deployable checkpoint is consistent for all the changes handled in the BDI solution;

    wherein modularized metadata stored in the metadata repository describes an end to end information flow and underlying dependencies between the source information, mappings, the targets and the source-independent business applications.
