Configure a Cache

When you configure a cache, you modify its parameters to change its behavior or capability. For example, you can set up a cache to hold only the last 10,000 entries and set the time they can remain in the cache. You can also flush the cache so that all new requests for information come from the database.

To configure a cache:

1. In the Application Configuration Settings Resource tree, select Cache Manager -> specific cache you want to configure.

   Note: If the specific cache does not appear in the Resource tree to the left, click Add/Remove Configurable Item in the Resource tree to see if it has been been created. If it appears in the Configurable Items list, follow the instructions Add or Remove a Configurable Item to add it to the Resource Tree, and restart this process with step 1. If it has not been created, follow the instructions to Create a Cache, and restart this process at step 1.

2. Fill in the fields with new configuration settings. For detailed descriptions of the configuration setting fields, see Cache Manager Configuration Parameters.

3. Click Update.

A message at the bottom of the window indicates that your changes have been applied.
