Indicator: SUBSCRIPTION_CACHE_STATUS

Definition

The status of the provisioning data cache

Description and Use

This indicator shows the status of the provisioning data cache and its subcaches in each instance of the running SAP CC Core Server system. This data cache includes master data related to end customers (subscriber data) of a service provider: subscriber accounts with prepaid and postpaid accounts, provider contracts (and subscriptions) with allowances and relating counters. Only the rater instances and the updater instances of the SAP CC system manage this specialized data cache.

Note

SUBSCRIPTION_CACHE is the technical name of the provisioning data cache managed by SAP Convergent Charging.

System Configuration (Advanced): Tuning

Fine-Tuning the Parameter Value

To fine-tune this parameter, you inspect the remaining free memory (fmem) and the data objects already removed from the data cache (rmv) to determine if you must increase the cache size (see the SUBSCRIPTION_CACHE_SIZE parameter).

Monitoring

You can monitor the performance and health of the data caches with SAP Solution Manager and CA Introscope for SAP.

Troubleshooting

Refer to the SAP CC Metric Reference and Performance Troubleshooting for more user assistance.
