Integration integrity manager
First Claim
1. A computerized method of managing an integrity of an integrated applications environment where data is extracted from and transferred among often disparate applications via integration components, comprising the steps of:
- detecting a change in said integrated applications environment, said integrated applications environment including a plurality of software applications and integration components, said software applications running on a plurality of systems and said integration components facilitating transfer of data among said software applications, said data having one or more of different usages, different data formats, and different data types among said software applications;
identifying substantially all integration components and software applications of said integrated applications environment for which said transfer of data would be affected by said change; and
notifying one or more responsible parties for each identified software application and integration component.

Abstract
Computerized method and system of managing the integrity of an integrated applications environment are disclosed. An integration integrity manager detects changes in the components of the interface between the applications. The integration integrity manager identifies components of other interfaces 208 that may be affected by the change, and notifies the owners or responsible parties of the applications that use the affected interfaces 208. The owners or responsible parties are given an opportunity to resolve any conflicts via the recursive operation of the integration integrity manager. Once the conflicts have been resolved, all changes are implemented together.
