System and method of remotely managing and loading artifacts
First Claim
1. A computer program product comprising a computer useable medium having a computer readable program, wherein the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to:
- store a plurality of artifacts in a centralized location, each artifact having been previously extracted from an application during the installation of the application, the plurality of artifacts further being indexed;
receive a query from a client to locate an artifact;
locate the artifact within the central location based on criteria specified in the query; and
transmit a location of the artifact to the client.

Abstract
A system and method of remotely loading artifacts is disclosed. The method involves storing and indexing a plurality of artifacts in a centralized location. A query is received from a client to locate an artifact, and the artifact is located within the central location. A reply is then returned to the client, wherein the reply includes a location of the artifact. In one embodiment, the method of remotely loading artifacts further involves the artifacts being previously extracted from an application during the installation of the application.
