Operation Cache Policies and Client Synchronization

Operation cache policies are server-side configurations only and have no impact on specific clients.

For example, the effect of setting the "Immediately update the cache" policy is:
  1. A Client invokes the Create, Update, or Delete operation on an MBO and then performs a sync operation.
  2. The operation executes on the EIS and the EIS returns a result-set.
  3. When "Immediately update the cache" is checked the results from step two are used to refresh the cache.
  4. SAP Mobile Server runs the download cursor on the SAP Mobile Server cache and returns the results as part of the client sync.
  5. The client database is refreshed with the latest EIS data.
"Immediately update the cache" can be more efficient with regard to cache refresh compared to cache groups - in particular if your client application is the primary updater of the EIS, it may allow a larger coherence window for on-demand refresh or replace it completely.
