Storing data in caches

A cache temporarily saves data in the internal memory of the server to increase performance.

Data that is used often is stored in the cache so that it can be retrieved quickly. When a user requests data that is in the cache, the data is displayed faster than if it were retrieved from the database. Rational® Focal Point™ uses eight caches for different types of data: Expressions, Attribute Configurations, Settings, Attributes, Filters, Elements, Modules, and Workspaces. Algorithms determine the length of time that the data is stored in the cache.
