APPARATUS, METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR TRACKING CHANGES TO OBJECT MODELS FOR OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS

An extensible object model system for maintaining extensible object models representing operational systems detects changes to the extensible object models generated by an enterprise management system and generates change events identifying and/or characterizing the detected changes, possibly based on publish events from the enterprise management system associated with particular operations that generated the detected changes. The extensible object model system generates notifications based on the change events and configurable notification criteria and provides a change event interface (e.g., UI, API) for providing change events to the enterprise management system in response to change event requests received via the change event interface. The extensible object model system generates change audit reports and/or recovered extensible object models based on the change events and/or causes the enterprise management system to generate updated operational data processing criteria based on the change events.
