Short version: use a define. http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/language_guide.html#defined-resource-types
But did you mean to have unbalanced quotes here? There's an extra single quote. file { "/myappbase/applis/conf"': Regardless of whether you use a define or a class, you can't define the same file resource twice. In the first resource, this: /myappbase/applis/conf Will end up with the contents of: puppet:///modules/srhjboss/communs And in the second one, it will end up with these contents: puppet://puppet/srnrepo/myappname You'll have to pick one per node.
