Pre-Load Site Caches

Pre-loading a site cache copies the documents from the Meridian Enterprise vault to the site cache server so that they are available in advance to the users of the site cache. Without pre-loading, the documents that are requested by users must be downloaded at the time that they are requested, which can delay system response for the users. The documents that are pre-loaded are those that are contained in the collection that is specified for the site cache server as described in Configure Site Cache Servers.

ClosedSchedule Pre-Loading

To schedule pre-loading of repository documents:

  1. In Meridian Enterprise ServerAdministration Console, in the System Management group, click Settings.

    The Application Settings page appears.

  2. In the menu, click SITE CACHE.

    The Site Cache page appears and shows the currently registered servers.

  3. Select the server in the list that you want to configure and in the toolbar, click Configure.

    The configuration page of the site cache server opens in a new browser window.

  4. In the row of the repository that you want to schedule pre-loading for, click the Actions icon and then click Schedule preload.

    The Schedule preload dialog box appears. This dialog box requires the same input as the Windows Task Scheduler. The documents that are pre-loaded are those that are specified in the collection or filter that is set for the Collection for preload or Filter for preload option as described in Configure Site Cache Servers.

    Note:

    The collection or filter must include the Document.Revision ID property or the pre-load will fail.

  5. Click Save.

ClosedPre-Load Immediately

To pre-load a repository immediately:

  • In the row of the repository that you want to pre-load, click the Preload collection icon . A background task is started and you can continue working.

    Important!

    Do not edit the repository settings with the site cache server configuration page while a preload is in progress as it can cause documents to fail to load into the cache. Wait until the preload has finished or use the Repositories page in Meridian Enterprise Server Administration Console instead.
