A method and system of change management of interfaces in a distributed computer system are provided in which there are multiple versions (303, 304, 305) of an interface describing communication between distributed client and server applications (308, 309, 302). The method and system include providing an indication with a response to an operation of an interface that an alternative interface is available. The information can include: a time interval in which a client application (308, 309) must contact a server application if it wishes to continue using the version of the interface, a reference to a succeeding version (305) of the interface; and/or an indication of an expiry date and time of an interface. The interface itself is used to communicate version and validity information and change to client applications (308, 309).
