Abstract

The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for providing transparent caching of configuration data in distributed landscapes. One process includes operations for receiving a read request of original configuration data stored at a second system. A first timestamp associated with local configuration data stored locally at a first system is identified. A second timestamp associated with the original configuration data is identified, and the second timestamp is determined to be later in time than the first timestamp. A copy of the original configuration data from the second system is retrieved for storage locally in place of the local configuration data at the first system based on the determination that the second timestamp is later in time than the first timestamp. The first timestamp is updated with a current timestamp associated with a time the copy of the original configuration data was retrieved from the second system.
