Title:
DYNAMIC PRELOADING OF INSURANCE PRODUCT DATA IN INSURANCE POLICY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004088466
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An apparatus, program product and method dynamically preload product information from an external database (90) into the working memory of a policy management system (10) to facilitate efficient, high volume access to the product information during runtime of the policy management system (10). Typically, the dynamic preloading is performed during the initialization or boot-up of an application server (14) in the policy management system (10), and the working memory is resident in a computer upon which the application server (14) is also resident such that high speed access to the preloaded product information is available. Moreover, accesses to the external database (90) during post-initialization runtime of the application server (14) are typically avoided, thus eliminating the overhead associated with accessing the external database (90).
