Sites that require timely or reliable access to the latest data should use one of the distributed caching modes that the Oracle Commerce Platform provides. The choice of a distributed caching mode depends on a number of requirements.
Distributed TCP
The following requirements apply:
Real-time access to item changes
Infrequent updates to cached items
Modest number of item caches to monitor
Distributed JMS
The following requirements apply:
Reliable delivery of invalidation messages
Infrequent updates to cached items
Large number of item caches to monitor
Distributed hybrid
The following requirements apply:
Real-time access to item changes
Large number of cached items to monitor across many clients
Infrequent updates to cached items
A site that uses distributed hybrid caching must provide enough server memory to support a large GSACacheServerManager
. For more information, see Optimizing Performance later in this chapter.
