Disabling Studio database caching

Database caching is enabled for Studio by default. This provides better network efficiency for most clusters, but can in some cases cause issues in Studio.

You will likely want to disable database caching if you installed or plan on installing Studio on multiple nodes and either of the following is true:
  • Your network or host environment doesn't support multicast UDP traffic. This is sometimes true of VM environments.
  • Your Studio nodes are on separate LANs that don't use multicast routing.

To disable database caching for Studio:

  1. Before installing, set STUDIO_JDBC_CACHE to FALSE in bdd.conf.
    You can also do this after installing. For instructions on updating BDD's configuration post-install, see the Administrator's Guide.
  2. After installing, open $DOMAIN_HOME/bin/setUserOverrides.sh on each Studio node and add the following argument to JAVA_OPTIONS, before the final quotation mark: 
    -Dnet.sf.ehcache.disabled=true
  3. Restart each Studio node.
