Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer implemented instructions for minimizing inconsistency between a set of data sources in a data processing system. A first signal is sent indicating that new content is present for the set of data sources. The new content is transmitted to the set of data sources in which the new content is unavailable for distribution by the set of data sources until a second signal is received by the set of data sources. The second signal is sent to the set of data sources if an acknowledgment is received from all of the sets of data sources.
