Abstract

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for providing value help. In one aspect, there is provided a computer-implemented method. The method may include receiving, at a code list provider, a request from a user interface for code list value help; accessing, by the code list provider, a cache including at least one code list, the cache implemented in memory; and sending, by the code list provider, the at least one code list accessed from cache to a user interface to enable the user interface to provide code list value help based on at least one code list. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.

Claims (35)

1 . A computer-readable medium containing instructions to configure a processor to perform a method, the method comprising:

receiving, at a code list provider, a request from a user interface for code list value help;

accessing, by the code list provider, a cache including at least one code list, the cache implemented in memory; and

sending, by the code list provider, the at least one code list accessed from cache to a user interface to enable the user interface to provide code list value help based on at least one code list.

2 . The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the cache is implemented in memory rather than in a persistent repository, and wherein the code list provider comprises at least one processor.

3 . The computer-readable medium of claim 2 , wherein the code list value help comprises a code header, a code value, and a code description.

4 . The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the code list value help comprises a list of codes each representing value help for an item at the user interface, and wherein the cache includes a plurality of code lists each including a code header, a code value, and a code description.

5 . The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , further comprising:

replicating a plurality of code lists from a persistent repository into the cache to enable access to the plurality of code lists by the code list provider accessing the cache.

6 . The computer-readable medium of claim 5 , further comprising:

selecting at least one of the code lists based on a switch table.

7 . A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving, at a code list provider, a request from a user interface for code list value help;

accessing, by the code list provider, a cache including at least one code list, the cache implemented in memory; and

sending, by the code list provider, the at least one code list accessed from cache to a user interface to enable the user interface to provide code list value help based on at least one code list.

8 . The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , wherein the code list value help comprises a list of codes each representing value help for an item at the user interface, and wherein the code list provider comprises at least one processor.

9 . The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , wherein the code list value help comprises a code header, a code value, and a code description.

10 . The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , wherein the cache is implemented in memory rather than in a persistent repository, and wherein the cache includes a plurality of code lists each including a code header, a code value, and a code description.

11 . The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , further comprising:

replicating a plurality of code lists from a persistent repository into the cache to enable access to the plurality of code lists by the code list provider accessing the cache.

12 . The computer-implemented method of claim 11 , further comprising:

selecting at least one of the code lists based on a switch table.

13 . A system comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory configured to provide operations comprising:

receiving, at a code list provider, a request from a user interface for code list value help;

accessing, by the code list provider, a cache including at least one code list, the cache implemented in memory; and

sending, by the code list provider, the at least one code list accessed from cache to a user interface to enable the user interface to provide code list value help based on at least one code list.

14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the code list value help comprises a list of codes each representing value help for an item at the user interface.

15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the code list value help comprises a code header, a code value, and a code description.

16 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the cache is implemented in memory rather than in a persistent repository, and wherein the cache includes a plurality of code lists each including a code header, a code value, and a code description.

17 . The system of claim 13 , further comprising:

replicating a plurality of code lists from a persistent repository into the cache to enable access to the plurality of code lists by the code list provider accessing the cache.

18 . The system of claim 14 , further comprising:

selecting at least one of the code lists based on a switch table.
