# Level 2 Cache Applicable for Batch

Hibernate's Level 2 cache is a second level of caching that allows sharing of data between sessions. This is useful for static, admin data like rates, type codes, etc., since objects that are added to this cache cannot be updated. The caching is enabled per entity on the Table transaction's Caching Regime Flag with values of "Not Cached" and "Cached for Batch." By default, the product is not configured to have Log and Language tables as not cached.
