Appropriate settings allow files that are rarely updated, such as image files, JavaScript files, or style sheet files, to be cached on the browser. Caching static files reduces network utilization and enhances Siebel Web Client response time. Caching for Siebel Web template files is described in the persistent view caching section in Improving Performance Using View Layout Caching. Because some static files may in fact be updated periodically, there is some risk that outdated versions of static files may be served from the cache. Therefore, some appropriate content expiration time should be specified. In general, setting an expiration time of 7 days may be appropriate. If static files are rarely updated, you can specify a larger number, for less frequent expiration. If static files are updated more often, you can specify a smaller number, for more frequent expiration. Instructions follow for specifying static file caching on Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS), IBM HTTP Server (IHS), and Sun One Web Server. You must restart your Web server for the settings to take effect. For details, refer to your third-party Web server vendor documentation. For more information about supported Web servers and versions, see System Requirements and Supported Platforms on Siebel SupportWeb.
