External cache group collection
Use this page to define sets of external caches that are controlled by WAS on Web servers such as IBM Edge Server and IBM HTTP Server.
To view this console page, click Servers > Application servers > server > Container services > Dynamic cache service > External cache groups.
- Name
Specify the external cache group name.
The external cache group name needs to match the ExternalCache property as defined in the servlet or Java Server 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 appserver.
- Type
Specify the external cache group type.
