Abstract
Automatic parameter value generation is disclosed. It is determined that a parameter value generation trigger associated with a parameter has occurred. A parameter value in accordance with a format of the parameter value is obtained. At least one location associated with a first component to which the parameter value is to be communicated is determined. The parameter value is communicated to the at least one location, and a parameter value refresh policy associated with the first component is determined.
Claims21
A method of automatic parameter value generation, comprising:
- determining, by a computing device comprising a processor device, that a parameter value generation trigger associated with a parameter has occurred;
- accessing configuration information comprising a plurality of parameter records, each parameter record identifying:
- a set of components, and a parameter format that identifies a format of a parameter value to be generated for the set of components, each set of components comprising at least one component;
- selecting a particular parameter record in response to the occurrence of the parameter value generation trigger;
- obtaining a parameter value in accordance with the format of the parameter value;
- determining at least one location associated with a first component of the set of components identified in the particular parameter record to which the parameter value is to be communicated;
- communicating the parameter value to the at least one location;
- and
- based on the particular parameter record, determining a parameter value refresh policy associated with the first component.
A computing device for automatic parameter value generation, comprising:
- a memory;
- a processor device coupled to the memory to:
- determine that a parameter value generation trigger associated with a parameter has occurred;
- access configuration data comprising a plurality of parameter records, each parameter record identifying:
- a set of components, and a parameter format that identifies a format of a parameter value to be generated for the set of components, each set of components comprising at least one component;
- select a particular parameter record in response to the occurrence of the parameter value generation trigger;
- obtain a parameter value in accordance with the format of the parameter value;
- determine at least one location associated with a first component of the set of components identified in the particular parameter record to which the parameter value is to be communicated;
- communicate the parameter value to the at least one location;
- and
- based on the particular parameter record, determine a parameter value refresh policy associated with the first component.
A non-transitory computer program product for automatic parameter value generation, the computer program product stored on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and including instructions configured to cause a processor device to:
- determine that a parameter value generation trigger associated with a parameter has occurred;
- access configuration data comprising a plurality of parameter records, each parameter record identifying:
- a set of components, and a parameter format that identifies a format of a parameter value to be generated for the set of components, each set of components comprising at least one component;
- select a particular parameter record in response to the occurrence of the parameter value generation trigger;
- obtain a parameter value in accordance with the format of the parameter value;
- determine at least one location associated with a first component of the set of components identified in the particular parameter record to which the parameter value is to be communicated;
- communicate the parameter value to the at least one location;
- and
- based on the particular parameter record, determine a parameter value refresh policy associated with the first component.
