A method and system of change management of interfaces in a distributed computer system ( 100 ) 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 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 ).
