Configuring Scheduled Cache Group Properties

Specify the duration of cache data validity by configuring SAP Mobile Server updates to mobile business object (MBO) data for a scheduled cache group.

Prerequisites

You can configure a schedule refresh for a cache only if the developer enables the cache group as "scheduled" during development. Otherwise, the Schedule tab is not configurable in the Cache Group Properties dialog.

Task

In the left navigation pane, expand the contents of the Packages folder and select the package for which you want to display properties.
In the right administration pane, click the Cache Group tab.
Select the cache group you want to configure and click Properties.
In the Schedule tab of the Cache Properties dialog, set the frequency of the refresh by selecting an appropriate Schedule Repeat: hourly, daily or custom.
This property determines what other schedule properties you must configure. Each option is documented in a seperate topic which further discusses the details for each frequency type. For more details, see the corresponding topic.

Scheduling an Hourly or Daily Refresh
Scheduling an hourly or daily cache refresh means that information is fetched from the enterprise information server (EIS) and populated into the cache on either of these hourly or daily frequencies according to the schedule and range of time you configure.
Scheduling a Custom Refresh
Scheduling a custom cache refresh is the most flexible of all cache refresh schedules. This means that information is fetched from the enterprise information system (EIS) according to the schedule repeat interval you specify.
Scheduled Cache Refreshes
A schedule-driven cache refresh is a background task that runs between a configured start and endpoint at scheduled intervals during normal server operation.
