Patent abstract

A method and system for tracking data in a distributed system. A software object calculates, using first data, a location in a storage pool which includes calculating a name of a table at the location in the storage pool. The table includes data requested by a user. Calculating the name of the table includes concatenating a label that identifies a type of data, a group identifier that identifies a group of software objects that includes the software object, and time data that identifies a period of time specified by the user. The software object includes the first data. The first data includes the label, the group identifier, and the time data. The software object connects to the storage pool to retrieve the requested data from the calculated location in the storage pool. The software object sends, to the user, the retrieved requested data.
