  • Patent number: 11893062
    Abstract: Technologies described herein can be used for the bulk lazy loading of structured data from a database. A request can be received to initialize an application data structure (such as a structured data object, a hierarchical data structure, an object graph, etc.). The data structure can be analyzed to identify a plurality of child objects of the data structure. Database records associated with the plurality of child objects can then be identified. A loaded child record table can be inspected to determine which of the identified database records are not stored in a cache. A request can be generated, comprising one or more queries to retrieve the uncached subset of database records from the database. Once the uncached subset of records are received from the database, these records can be used, along with the cached subset of the identified database records, to initialize the plurality of child objects of the application data structure.

  • Publication number: 20220058189
    Abstract: Systems and processes for recording operational activities in a traceable manner are provided herein. Event data for events associated with operational activities may be received at a system, the event data including, for each of the events, a time parameter and a subject of the respective event. The events may be grouped and processed according to the time parameter or the subject of each of the events, and one or more database tables of a model may be populated and/or updated with event entries based on the event data. The model may include a first part corresponding to processing of the operational activities, and a second part corresponding to results of the processing of the operational activities, where event entries stored in the first and second parts of the model are linked by respective process dates for the event entries. The tables may be output for presentation to a user.
