Create New Local Cache

Local cache can be created in the following ways:

Pre-Requisite

Make sure NCache Service is started. If it is not started, do the following:

• Windows Environment
• Linux Environment

In PowerShell, enter the following command:

Start-Service -Name NCacheSvc

For .NET Core, make sure that you run NCache service as an administrator. Here are the steps to do so:

• Open Services window and look for NCache in the list.
• Right click on NCacheSvc from the list and choose Properties.
• Go to the Log On tab and click on the Browse button.
• In the object name field, type Administrator and click on the Check Names button.
• It will pick the appropriate Administrator, then click OK.
• Now, set a Password and click OK.
• Right click on the NCache service and choose the Restart option. Now your service will start running as administrator.

Using NCache Web Manager

• Launch NCache Web Manager by browsing to http://localhost:8251 (Windows) or <server-ip>:8251 (Windows + Linux).

• In the left navigation bar, click on Local Caches. This opens up the Local Caches page at <server-ip>:8251/LocalCaches/. The page shows any existing local caches on your machine and additional details like Server and Server Platform.

• To create a new local cache, click on New.

  

• Specify the Server Node IP and click Next.

  

• Specify the cache name, isolation level and serialization (Binary or JSON). Click Next. If a cache by that name exists, you are prompted accordingly.

  

• Change the cache size if required and click Next.

  

• In Advanced Options page, you can configure the following settings:

  • Eviction is enabled by default. You can configure the Eviction Policy accordingly. If you want to disable eviction, uncheck the check box Enable Eviction.

  • 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 box.

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

  

• Click Finish. Created cache will appear in Local Caches page and a success notification will be received in the notification panel.

Using PowerShell

New-Cache cmdlet enables the user to create a new cache on one or more server nodes.

This Command creates demoCache of local topology of size 1024MB on node 20.200.20.29

New-Cache demoCache -Server 20.200.20.29 -Size 1024

The following command creates a new cache of size 1024 MB named demoCache on server 20.200.20.29 and uses the configuration existing on the specified path.

New-Cache -Name demoCache -Server 20.200.20.29 –Path C:\config.xml
