Using Cache Data Property to Improve Business Component Performance

This topic is part of Performance Guidelines for Business Objects Layer.

To cache on the Siebel Application Object Manager the content of a business component for subsequent use in the same user session, the property Cache Data property must be set to TRUE for the business component.

Setting Cache Data to TRUE is appropriate for semi-static data that might be subject to repetitive queries, but that is unlikely to change during the user session.

For some business components, Cache Data is set to TRUE by default. This is done, for example, for the Internal Product business component.

Cache Data must be FALSE for business components representing transactional data that can change within a user session. See also Using Properties to Improve Picklist Performance.
