Local cache can be created in the following ways:

Using NCache Manager

  • In New Cache Wizard, specify the server IP address and click Next.

  • Specify the name of the cache in the text box, select the Isolation level, Data format and click Next.

    • You can also change the eviction percentage; items will be evicted from the cache using this percentage value if eviction is enabled.

    • You can change the clean interval value. Default is 15 seconds.

    • This cache can be started automatically upon the completion of this process if you have checked the Start this cache on Finish checkbox on this dialog.

    • You can make the cache to start automatically after service restart by checking the checkbox Auto start this cache on service startup.
