Cache-Specific Parameter Settings

The most important parameter here is the cache size: general database parameter CACHE_SIZE

The data cache must be dimensioned so that it can hold all OMS data, links to undo log entries and SQL data in the data cache. Otherwise, the data is written to the data area, which negatively affects the liveCache performance.

The memory of the data cache should take up about 40% of the main memory available to the liveCache database instance. You may need to adjust its size to the requirements of the application.
