About Siebel Configurator Caching


Siebel Configurator supports several types of caching of customizable product information, to optimize response time for configuration-session users. Caching options include:

  • Caching in memory

    Siebel Configurator caches versions of customizable products, product classes, and attribute definition objects in memory. When the size limit for this cache is reached, the versions of the objects that were least recently used are discarded. For more information, see Default Caching Behavior for Siebel Configurator.

    NOTE:  The memory resources for your Siebel Configurator server computer must be sufficient to support your caching requirements.

  • Caching in the Siebel Configurator File System

    This Configurator File System directory caches versions of the customizable products, product classes, and attribute definition objects that were loaded into memory. This is default behavior. For more information, see Specifying the Siebel Configurator File System Location and Default Caching Behavior for Siebel Configurator.

  • In addition to the caching options, you can also specify which server or component caches versions of customizable products, product classes, and attribute definition objects.

    The specified cache can be updated at regular intervals. Using these options can improve response times to requests for a specific customizable product. For more information, see Cache Management for Siebel Configurator.
