摘要
Distributed data processing systems with replication of data across the system are required to provide data access and availability performance approaching that of a stand-alone system with its own data, but reductions in network traffic gained by replication must be balanced against the additional network traffic required to update multiple copies of the data. Apparatus and a method of operating a distributed data processing system is provided in which a currency period is associated with each copy of a data object and the data object is assumed to be valid during the currency period. The apparatus has means for checking (500) whether the currency period has expired and means for updating (570, 580) the copies. A validity indicator is set on determination of expiry of the currency period and when updates are applied to the primary copy, and is checked to determine validity of a copy. IMAGE
