Customizing the Cache That Siebel Open UI Uses for Time Scales

This topic describes how to customize the cache that Siebel Open UI uses for time scales.

To customize the cache that Siebel Open UI uses for time scales

1. Specify the number of pages to use in the cache for a time scale.

   Use the following value for the Date Padding for TimeScale LIC applet user property:

   time_scale_identifier:number_of_pages
   

   where:

   • time_scale_identifier specifies the time scale.

   • number_of_pages specifies the number of pages that Siebel Open UI uses for the previous operation and for the next operation. It uses these pages when it prepares the page cache for the time scale that the time_scale_identifier specifies.

   The following example specifies the Week/Day time scale LIC, and it specifies to use 2 pages for the previous operation, and 2 pages for the next operation:

   1:2
   

   Siebel Open UI uses a number to identify each time scale. It uses the number 1 to identify the Week/Day time scale. For more information, see Determining the Number That Siebel Open UI Uses to Identify Time Scales.

   Siebel Open UI always includes a default page, so it uses the following calculation to determine the total cache page count:

   previous pages + default page + next pages

   So, the cache size for the 1:2 example is 5:

   2 + 1 + 2 = 5

   For more examples:

   • 1:1. Use three pages (1+1+1).

   • 1:0. Use one pages (0+1+0).

   • 1:2. Use five pages (2+1+2).

2. (Optional) Add more than one time scale.

   Use a semicolon to separate each time scale. For example:

   1:1;2:1;4:1;32:1;64:1;128:1;256:1;512:1;1024:1
