External cache group collection
Use this page to define sets of external caches controlled by WAS on Web servers such as IBM Edge Server and IBM HTTP Server.
To view this administrative console page, click Servers > Application servers > servername > Container services > Dynamic cache service > External cache groups.
- Name
Specifies the external cache group name.
The external cache group name needs to match the ExternalCache property as defined in the servlet or JavaServer Pages file cachespec.xml file.
When external caching is enabled, the cache matches pages with its Universal Resource Identifiers (URI) and pushes matching pages to the external cache. The entries can then be served from the external cache, instead of from the application server.
- Type
Specifies the external cache group type.
