Question 12. What Are The Benefits Of The Shared Cache Mode?

Answer :

The shared cache mode offers the following benefits:

• Server processes share a common cache file, which reduce the disk space consumed by multiple cache files.
• Improved initial transaction load performance. Because all objects are already cached, the initial load performance is equivalent to subsequent loads. This is the major difference from previous behavior.
• Improved performance because the system does not write new items to the cache. As such, the cache file never grows. This prevents the host running out of disk space as each PSAPPSRV cache grows in size.
• Simplifies file management by having fewer files for the system to maintain.
