Abstract

An approach is provided for synchronizing elements in files across a technical environment. In one embodiment, a processor obtains a first change to a first file. The processor also obtains data identifying a second file. The processor determines if the change is supported by a data library in a pre-defined list of data sources. The processor analyzes the data library to determine a type of the change. The processor applies the type of the change to the second file.
