DETERMINING CONNECTION INFORMATION TO USE TO ACCESS AN ARTIFACT FROM AN APPLICATION ON A REMOTE SERVER
First Claim
1. An article of manufacture including code executed in servers in a network, wherein a common repository is coupled to the network, wherein the code causes operations to be performed, the operations, comprising:
- receiving a request for an artifact at a target application executing on a remote server comprising one of the servers in the network;
determining whether a local repository includes connection information on the remote server, wherein the connection information is used to communicate the request for the artifact to the remote server over the network;
accessing the connection information from the local repository in response to determining that the local repository includes the connection information for the remote server;
determining whether a common repository is available to provide the connection information for the remote server in response to determining that the local repository does not include the connection information for the remote server; and
communicating with the common repository over the network to access the connection information for the remote server in response to determining that the common repository is available to provide the connection information.

Abstract
Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for determining connection information to use to access an artifact from an application on a remote server. A request is received in a local server for an artifact at a target application executing on a remote server. A determination is made as to whether a local repository includes connection information on the remote server. The connection information is used to communicate the request for the artifact to the remote server over a network. The connection information is accessed from the local repository in response to determining that the local repository includes the connection information for the remote server. A determination is made as to whether a common repository is available to provide the connection information for the remote server in response to determining that the local repository does not include the connection information for the remote server. Communication is made to the common repository over the network to access the connection information for the remote server in response to determining that the common repository is available to provide the connection information.

10. A server in communication with remote servers over a network, wherein applications execute in the remote servers, and wherein a common repository is in communication with the network, comprising:
-
a local repository; a server including an artifact loader client executed to perform operations, the operations comprising; receiving a request for an artifact at a target application executing on one of the remote servers; determining whether the local repository includes connection information on the remote server, wherein the connection information is used to communicate the request for the artifact to the remote server over the network; accessing the connection information from the local repository in response to determining that the local repository includes the connection information for the remote server; determining whether the common repository is available to provide the connection information for the remote server in response to determining that the local repository does not include the connection information for the remote server; and communicating with the common repository over the network to access the connection information for the remote server in response to determining that the common repository is available to provide the connection information. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)
