Tune the marketing business object cache
You can improve performance by altering the size of the cache used to store both marketing business objects during storefront runtime and the information related to the customers participating in the marketing activities.
The object cache instance MarketingCache is used to cache the marketing business objects. The object cache instance MarketingUserCache is used to cache the information related to the customers.
Do not clear the DM_Cache using the WAS Cache Monitor. If the entire DM_Cache is cleared using the WAS Cache Monitor, then the marketing services will not detect the events associated with any behavior rules. As a result, certain triggers and targets used in marketing activities to detect customer behavior will not work properly. If clear the DM_Cache, then update the Marketing registry using the Administration Console.
Procedure
- Launch the WebSphere Application Server Administration Console.
- Click Resources
- Click Cache instances
- Click Object cache instances
- Update cacheSize as required
- Optional: If you are using a staging server, or a utility such as massload, clear the marketing cache entries once the data is pushed to production.
