Continuous integration of business intelligence software

摘要

A method for providing automatic version control to a business intelligence system includes receiving business metric data from a business intelligence system, creating an initial version of a business intelligence artifact derived from the received business metric data, automatically storing the initial version of the business intelligence artifact with a source control system, detecting a request to the business intelligence system to modify the initial version of the business intelligence artifact, creating a subsequent version of the business intelligence artifact that includes the requested modification, and automatically storing the subsequent version of the business intelligence artifact with the source control system.
