Abstract

See full text

In a distributed processing system having a source node accessing data objects from a database and a replica node storing replicas of requested source data objects received from the source location, the impact to replicas caused by a change in a source data object is calculated by assigning a version number to the change. An identifier of the portion of the source database affected by the change is generated, as well as a list of replicas containing objects from the affected portion of the database. For a replica location communicating with the source location, a table of the replicas from the list is then recorded along with the version number for communicating to the replica location.
