Administering Web Server-Based Navigation Caching
This section provides an overview and discusses how to implement web server-based navigation caching.
Web server-based navigation caching considerably boosts performance by automatically storing cached data on the web server when users select items from the navigation menu. This form of caching saves unnecessary calls to the application server.
The portal maintains a single cache for all users with a given combination of roles. If your user population has limited role combinations, your caching memory requirement is significantly reduced.
Implement web server-based navigation caching by selecting the Cache Menu check box in the On the Web Server group box of the Web Profile Configuration - Caching page.
The cached data is stored in the following folder and cannot be moved:
PS_CFG_HOME\webserv\peoplesoft\applications\peoplesoft\PORTAL\psftcache
You must delete the cache periodically to keep the folder at a manageable size.
To prevent conflicts, disable browser-based caching and homepage caching.
