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