Creating Batch Updates

You can actively (as opposed to on-demand) cache files by specifying files to be batch updated. The proxy server allows you to perform an up-to-date check on several files currently in the cache or pre-load multiple files in a particular web site.

To create a batch update

Steps

1. Access the Server Manager, and click the Caching tab.

2. Click the Set Cache Batch Updates link. The Set Cache Batch Updates page displays.

3. Select New and Create from the drop-down lists next to Create/Select a Batch Update Configuration.

4. Click OK. The Set Cache Batch Updates page displays.

5. In the Name section, enter a name for the new batch update entry.

6. In the Source section of the page, click the radio button for the type of batch update that you want to create. Click the first radio button if you want to perform an up-to-date check on all documents in the cache. Click the second radio button if you want to cache URLs recursively starting from the given source URL.

7. In the Source section fields, identify the documents that you want to use in the batch update.

8. In the Exceptions section, identify any files that you would like to exclude from the batch update.

9. In the Resources section, enter the maximum number of simultaneous connections and the maximum number of documents to traverse.

10. In the Timing section, enter the start and end times for the generation of the batch update. Only one batch update can be active at any time, so it is best to not overlap other batch update configurations.

11. Click OK.

    Note –

    You can create, edit, and delete batch update configurations without having batch updates turned on. However, if you want your batch updates to be updated according to the times you set on the Set Cache Batch Updates page, you must turn updates on.
