Hi Community,

When restarting an element we can clearly see that Single PIDs parameter get loaded during an element initialization.

What about Table Parameter Data, is this data being re-loaded as well?

If a given table is partial is there any difference, in terms of data re-loading upon restart or Element initialization?

Hi David,

When (re)starting an element, all saved element data is reloaded from the database. No other state remains from the previous element runtime.

For partial tables, all data is loaded in memory. The “partial” option is used mainly when forwarding table data to client applications like Cube.

Thanks for the answer.

By all saved data, do you also include all primary Keys and saved column data from all tables or are Tables exclusively Loaded uppon UI/Cube request?

Yes. primary keys / saved columns for tables are also loaded on element startup.
