Hi again on this issue,

I reseached over the available documentation again (last time in march 2005 ) but didnt find any news. So this is another attemp to get a better understanding.

Existing Info I found:
Wiki: http://ofbizwiki1.go-integral.com/Wiki.jsp?page=CacheSettings
ProductionSetupguide: http://www.undersunconsulting.com/static/OFBizBasicProductionSetup.pdf

There is not much detail in those documents. They both pretty much say: Do it in the cache.properties :-)

I think all ofbiz admins need more detail on it. Thats why I specify the questions more detailed and would appreceate if anybody would post a example fine-tuned cache.properties file

All Feedback and hints will be compiled by me and added to the wiki/faq

So here are my questions
1. Question: What is the Flag "useSoftreference" for? What does true and false do?
2. Question: What unit is "maxSize" and what if it is left empty in the cache.propery?


3.Question: What exactly do the per-delegator Entity Engine cache settings tune?
#Examples for per-delegator Entity Engine cache settings
#entitycache.entity-list.default.ProductPriceRule.expireTime=0
#entitycache.entity-list.default.ProductPriceRule.useSoftReference=true

4. On the Cache Maintenance Page I finde entriey like "entitycache.entity.default.XXXX" and "entitycache.entity-list.default.XXXXX". What is the difference betwen those?
And why is there no entry in the cache.properties for entitycache.entity.default.XXXX entries?
Where do I create those entitycache.entity.default.XXXX entries
5. Questions regarding the Cache Maintenance Page
I cleared the cache and afterwards I montitored the caches (I hope the formating with tabs is visibel too you)

Cache Name size hitCount missCount maxSize expireTime useSoftRef?
a) entitycache.entity-list.default.ProductCategoryMember 9,822 7,992 54,072 20,000 86,400,000 true
b) entitycache.entity-list.default.ProductPriceAction 52 2,180 2,736 3,000 86,400,000 true
c) entitycache.entity-list.default.ProductPriceCond 109 56,733 59,239 70,000 86,400,000 true

On a) With cache the missCount was allmost emmidiatly at 54000 the hitCount and size slowly crow. My question now is: Why isnt the size 20000 after 54000 misses? TheProdukctCategoryMember is ideal for caching.
On b and c) since cache clearing the cachehit count is growing almost linear with the misscount! Why? Those tables are suppossed to be queried every almost every shop hit and the tables are static! So I would expect the missCount to be growing very slowly and the hitCount to grow very fast.

6. Qustion: What other tuning for the cache.properties tips are there?
Answer from http://www.undersunconsulting.com/static/OFBizBasicProductionSetup.pdf
${ofbiz insall dir}/base/config/cache.properties
Fresh from SVN, this file is configured to be development friendly to reload
resources frequently. For production use the expire times for the caches in the last
section of the file should all be commented out by putting a pound sign “#” at the
beginning of each line. The properties in question start with “minilang.”, “script.”,
“webapp.”, “widget.” And “template.”.

Bye
Michael
