Global static lookup table - mjaanes - 29.12.2019
I need to create a static lookup table, mapping elements of the group addresses to specific rooms in the building. The table is fixed (i.e. will not be changed during run-time - only used for lookup). Number of GAs is approximately 100 and number of rooms is approximately 30 (to give you a feeling of size - i.e. not too big). Approximately 10 scripts will need to use the table (each one running approximately every 5-10 minutes)
If I understand LM correctly, I can not initialize some global variable in the LM that every script can read from (which would clearly have been efficient).
Assuming this is correct, from a performance point-of-view: What is the best way to create this lookup table to be used by multiple scripts?
a) Via storage.set/get (one script could use storage.set during initial start-up of LM and then each script does a storage.get as part of initial housekeeping)
b) Initializing a new table inside the code of each script (i.e. build the table run-time - most likely via a common function called from each of the scripts)
c) Other ways?
Thanks in advance
WISH ALL USERS A HAPPY NEW YEAR

You can create a user library and include it in every script that needs it.
