Techniques and architectures for providing functionality to undo a metadata change

摘要

Techniques and mechanisms for providing a functionality which is selectable to undo one or more changes to metadata in a computing environment. In an embodiment, one or more source objects, stored by a version control system (VCS), represent one or more previous metadata changes. In response to a detection of the one or more metadata changes, an element of a user interface is configured to be selectable for undoing the one or more metadata changes. In another embodiment, a subsequent selection of the element invokes a retrieval of the one or more source objects from the VCS. Based on the retrieval of the one or more source objects from the VCS, a compilation is performed to generate a program which is executed to undo the one or more metadata changes.
