How do I describe a main process which gets informatio from another process ans stores it for future uses. Then when it's called each time for a different reason it uses the stored information rather than calling the db connection again.
Can I simply break it to small processes each triggering a db conneciton though it doesn;t actually do that?
data flow diagrams show all possible links with no time dependency. To show what you want to show use a flowchart/process flow/system flow instead.
It might look something like
start process
first time?
Yes - get info from database
save data for further use
No - use saved data
continue processing
.
