Resetting Process Server caches

For performance reasons, IBM BPM caches some information about the Process Server. The caches for IBM BPM refresh automatically and so resetting these caches should only be required when an issue exists that a reset might rectify.

You must log in to the Process Administrative console.

To control the frequency of cache refresh, use the cache-refresh-interval setting in the INSTALL_ROOT\BPM\Lombardi\process-server\config\system\00Static.xml properties file.

You can use the Manage Caches page in the Process Administrative console to view all caches and their status, as well as reset each cache. In addition to the name of the cache and a brief description, the Manage Caches page displays the following information for each cache on Process Server:
