Attribute

Description

refreshPeriod

Specifies the time in minutes when cache needs to be refreshed. Refreshing the cache means, back end connections are made during the next request and the cache is validated for any new or any deleted items. Before contacting the back ends, expired items are removed from the cache.

Possible values are:

·         default - validity period is taken from the UWL service settings

·         session - cache is valid for the current user session

·         n - time in minutes, for example "5"

If unsure, use "default".

expiryTime

Specifies the time duration in minutes after which items retrieved expire (die) in the cache.

Possible values are:

·         default - then validity period is taken from the UWL settings. Typically one month.

·         session - cache is valid for the current user session. Typically one day.

·         final - items never expire

·         n - where n is the time in minutes for example "50"

If unsure, use "default".

If a connection to a provider system fails (temporarily or for good), the items still remain in cache, but will NOT be visible to the user.
