Filling the OLAP CacheLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

The distribution type Fill OLAP Cache allows you to precalculate queries and to fill the OLAP cache with the generated data.

If the users call Web applications, queries, reports, or workbooks that are based on this data, the access time and the workload of the application server are considerably reduced.

Since the functions of the OLAP cache are designed so that the user does not have to wait any longer than normal when evaluating a query, it is not possible to guarantee that the OLAP cache will be completely filled.

It is possible that the expected entry for a query is not stored in the cache. The query must then be completely reevaluated with access to the InfoProvider. This situation is intensified when several attempts are made to access the query at the same time.

Prerequisites

You have created a broadcast setting and have chosen Fill OLAP Cache as the distribution type. The output format is OLAP Cache Content.
