Enable the dynamic cache service
Overview
Enable the dynamic cache service to improve application performance by caching the output of servlets, Web services, and WAS commands into memory.
Develop a cache policy for your application.
The dynamic cache service is enabled by default. However, you can enable or disable the service through the console.
Procedure
- Open the console.
- In the console, click...
Servers | Application servers | server_name | Container services | Dynamic cache service | Enable service at server startup | OK.
- Restart WAS.
You might want to enable servlet caching before restarting WAS.
Results
The dynamic cache service caches content for requests that have cache policies configured.
What to do next
You might want to enable dynamic cache disk offload. This option moves cache entries that are expired from memory to disk for potential future access.
