Track the Caching Process of Parts Catalog

You can track the current status and progress of the Parts Catalog caching process. The caching progress is used to calculate how long a resource has to stay online before leaving an area with reliable level of connectivity.

Before you start

Prerequisites are as follows:

• For Setup environments with Parts Catalog containing 100000 or more items, the total amount of raw items data must be more than 10 MB.

• Setup user must have access to the Parts Catalog module.

• Mobile devices must have Internet Explorer Mobile 11 (for Windows), and Chrome (for Android).

• Mobile devices must have the possibility to simulate low bandwidth connectivity.

Here's what to do

1. Log in to the application.
2. Select any resource and click the Search icon.
   A progress indicator displays the status of the Parts Catalog caching process:

   • Initialization—Indicates that caching has just started.

   • Loading—Indicates that caching is in progress displaying the percentage of caching that has completed.
     Note: When internet connectivity is relatively slow and a significant number of items exist in Parts Catalog, Loading status may show up to 30 or 60 minutes.

     Loaded—Indicates that caching has completed.
