Determining the Cache Interval and Schedule Refresh for a Cache Group

Use Sybase Control Center to create and configure cache groups for replication synchronization packages. A cache group specifies the data refresh behavior for every mobile business object (MBO) within that group.

The Unwired Server cache (also called the cache database, or CDB) is refreshed according to a cache policy, which defines the cache refresh behavior and properties for the MBOs within the cache group based on a schedule, or on demand.

  1. Choose the cache group:
    1. In the left navigation pane, expand the Packages folder, and select the package.
    2. In the right administration pane, click the Cache Group tab.
    3. Select the cache and click Properties.
  2. Choose an appropriate cache interval. The cache allows you to associate a frequency interval (hour, minute, seconds, and so on) for the cache group's refresh schedule.
    For example, if an interval value is set to 0 seconds, then every client synchronization repopulates the entire cache. Instead, choose a value that is longer in duration.
  3. Set the repeat for the cycle of intervals.
    Sybase recommends that you choose a cache interval value that supports DCN behavior. See Configuring Scheduled Cache Groups Properties in Sybase Control Center online help.
