Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: analyzing metadata of a first application to identify a first data object and one or more first fields of the first data object, the first data object and the first fields being part of the metadata of the first application; identifying one or more second applications having a second data object with one or more second fields; selecting, for at least one of the second applications, a supported connectivity with the first application, the selection being between central design time repository based connectivity and point-to-point connectivity, wherein the central design time repository is connected remotely to the first application and the one or more second applications; and responsive to the at least one of the second applications supporting connectivity with the first application through the central design time repository, reformatting the metadata of the first application according to a data structure of the central design time repository and transmitting the reformatted metadata of the first application, the metadata including the first data object and the first fields, to the central design time repository, the transmitted metadata being accessed at runtime to enable communication with the first application; and when the second application supports point-to-point connectivity with the first application,
