Cache Management

From Informer 4 Wiki

Informer uses aggressive caching to ensure the quickest possible delivery of user requested data. These result sets, regardless of size, are always cached by Informer in web server memory to enable quick access should a request be made again for the same dataset. Informer will flush the cache of any dataset after ten minutes of idle time.

The Active Details tab in the administration module provides a view of currently cached datasets. From this panel you can effectively measure current web server memory load as it is related to cached data associated with Informer. Datasets from report results, requests to the internal informer database, all requests within the system are cached and listed here.

To delete items from the cache, simply select one or more records and click the delete button in the menu bar. A user will never experience an error because you’ve deleted a dataset, but if you delete and they request a portion of the same dataset within the timeout period, they will experience a performance lag.
