Converting data objects from single- to multi-source database environment

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium embodying a computer program for performing a method, said method comprising:

• causing an engine to receive a single-source universe database comprising a plurality of details;
• causing the engine to analyze the single-source universe database to create a XML configuration file identifying a detail to be changed;
• causing the engine to register a new multi-source connection with a repository;
• and
• causing the engine to reference the XML configuration file to create a multi-source universe database including the multi-source connection and a changed detail by re-generating a business layer including a new object definition compatible with the multi-source universe database, the business layer further comprising a file formed by adding a generated derived table query including a join updated with a new column name and a new table name, to a re-generated data foundation.

A computer system comprising:

• one or more hardware processors;
• a software program, executable on said computer system, the software program configured to:
• cause an engine to receive a single-source universe database comprising a plurality of details;
• cause the engine to analyze the single-source universe database to create a XML configuration file identifying a detail to be changed;
• cause the engine to register a new multi-source connection with a repository;
• and
• cause the engine to reference the XML configuration file to create a multi-source universe database including the multi-source connection and a changed detail by re-generating a business layer including a new object definition compatible with the multi-source universe database, the business layer further comprising a file formed by adding a generated derived table query including a join updated with a new column name and a new table name, to a re-generated data foundation.
