Use custom caching
Overview
You can overrule the default caching parameters of a site by using "cache" and "expire" parameters in URLs and IBM Web Content Manager tags. Custom caching can only be used when a server's default Web Content cache is set to none or advanced caching. If basic caching is used as default web Content cache, Custom caching cannot be used.
Default Server Caching Enabled
Some form of default server caching has been enabled. Caching parameters within connect tags and URLs can be used to either:
- Disable caching for the data being requested.
- Apply different caching parameters to the data being requested.
This method is used with sites that are mostly static, but which contain a few dynamic elements that require a different caching strategy from the server's default caching strategy.
Default Server Caching Disabled
Default server caching has been disabled. Caching parameters within connect tags and URLs can be used to enable caching for the data being requested.
This scenario is used with sites that contain a large number of elements requiring different caching strategies.
