General Manager

As its name implies, the General Manager deals with a number of miscellaneous system support functions, including:

Maintaining gapless sequences for database key values.
Performing date and time conversions.
Caching information on entities, that is, database tables and their fields, and how they should be used to generate default SDOs, browsers, and viewers for those tables.
Tracking database record information, including whether comment or audit records exist for a database record.
Listing manipulation functions that retrieve values from lists (property lists, for example) or insert them into lists.
