Abstract

Techniques are described for managing the optimized refreshing of metadata associated with online and live systems. In some implementations, a set of metadata modules associated with one or more entities are identified, the metadata modules defining metadata associated with a particular data model for the associated entities. A request to initiate a refreshing of the metadata for a subset of the set of metadata modules is identified. Each metadata module from the subset of the set of metadata modules is prioritized into a prioritization order. A determination is made as to whether two or more idle database connections are available. In response to determining that two or more idle database connections are available, a concurrent refresh of the subset of the set of metadata modules is initialized in the prioritization order.
