Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition Caching and Cache Seeding

Cache is a component that improves performance by transparently storing data such that future requests for the same criteria can be served much faster. Like other application cache is not virtual memory in Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition. In Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition cache will be stored as files on the Hard Disk of the Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition Server in the form of files. By Default caching is enabled in the Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition server configuration.
