Setting MaxCacheMemory

PeopleTools stores application data in a memory cache to increase system performance. However, too large a cache can leave insufficient available memory on your system, which leads to reduced performance.

Use this setting to specify the maximum size of the memory cache. PeopleTools prunes the cache to keep it within the specified size, and places the pruned data in a disk cache instead. Because using a disk cache can also reduce performance, the default setting might not be optimal for your application. You can adjust this setting to achieve the best trade-off between speed and available memory.
