A version control system integrated within a business intelligence environment includes a version control server configured for network communication with a business intelligence server and a client of a business intelligence network, and a version control repository in communication with the version control server and configured for storage of multiple versions of a definition of an object of the business intelligence environment developed via a browser interface of the client. The browser interface is created in accordance with a first textual instruction set and configured with a save operation to store a current version of the object definition in the metadata repository. The browser interface is configured by the version control server with a second textual instruction set called by the first textual instruction set such that implementation of the save operation stores the current version of the object definition in the version control repository.

Integrated version control in a business intelligence environment

A business intelligence system includes a business intelligence server configured to support generation of a report user interface for presentation of enterprise data to end users of the business intelligence system and an authoring user interface for development of a report definition of the report user interface. The business intelligence system further includes a metadata repository in which metadata indicative of the report definition is stored, a client having a browser for communication with the business intelligence server and for rendering of the authoring user interface, and a change management server configured for communication with the business intelligence server to manage the development of the report definition via the authoring user interface. The business intelligence server is configured with first textual instructions to direct the browser in the rendering of the authoring user interface, and the browser is further directed by second textual instructions referenced by the first textual instructions and configured to modify the authoring user interface to allow the change management server to manage storage of the metadata indicative of the report definition.
