Narrative:
While working east departure on plan 28/27L simultaneous approachs; ord arrs started going from pappi 180 degree heading to pappi direct ord. This is a direct conflict with ord eastbound departures heading 040 degrees. I was never told when the arrival pattern changed. This put me in a very difficult position by surprise! Solution: require arrival (either the handoff or vector controller or supervisor) to advise departure any time they delay vector direct ord on any confign. I have been at C90 and was taught to advise departure of this type of change to the pattern. It is not required anymore.
