US Patent 7836032 Remapping child references when parent reference updates are processed

The present invention presents a method, system and computer-implementable medium for remapping child references when parent reference updates are processed. The method includes the steps of creating a table that is used to store List Of Value (LOV) reference updates that need to be processed for remapping; creating triggers to populate the table dynamically as the LOV reference updates occur; extracting object mapping definitions from a definition repository; storing extracted object mapping definitions into a control table in memory; capturing LOV reference updates dynamically as they occur and populating the updates in the table via the triggers; matching the extracted object mapping definitions with the LOV reference updates; and remapping child references of parent LOV data using matched object mapping definitions
