  ****************************************************************
  Loading of Process Portal takes a long time because there are
  a lot of exposed items in the database causing excessive
  database lookups to resolve snapshot and branch information.
  

Problem conclusion

• To address the issue, when compiling the list of exposed items
  during the execution of the /exposed REST API, the code now
  avoids repeatedly looking up the same snapshots and branches
  in the database by using caching.
