Trace: • Global Metadata Caching
Databooks at the client already allow for the caching of metadata to minimize communication with the server. However, server-side storage updates metadata each time data is accessed. During productive use, this is unnecessary overhead that we would prefer to avoid.
Global metadata caching is configured in the server´s configuration file, config.xml, using the following option:
<!-- ON | OFF --> <globalmetadatacache>ON</globalmetadatacache>
If any metadata is modified while this option is activated, either the application server has to be restarted, or the application context has to be updated, as the cache is static.
