Abstract

See full text

Synchronizing copies of a first document in a distributed computing environment. According to a preferred embodiment, a path to a preferred repository for the first document and a path to a master repository for the first document are embedded in a second document. A copy of the first document is retrieved from the preferred repository. The master repository is checked to determine whether the retrieved copy is a copy of a most recent version of the first document. In response to the determination that the retrieved copy is the most recent version of the first document, the second document is formatted using the retrieved copy.
