Cache Settings

See Also

• Server Info

Allows you to configure the cache settings for SourceAnywhere Server. This window contains cache settings for the following three types of server cache:

• File cache. Requested files are cached on server to speed up the client access.
• Other cache. Information of users, groups, security rights and project tree structure may be cached to improve the client responsiveness
• Memory cache. Caching temporary data in memory may reduce the disk I/O of the server.

Note: Changes in this window call for restarting SourceAnywhere Service to take effect.

Window Items

File Cache

• Path
  Specifies the path of the folder for storing requested folders and files. You can type the full path in the textbox or click the Browse button to select one. The default path is the installation directory of Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere Server.
  
• Cache Size
  Specifies the amount of disk space used for file cache. 0 (zero) indicates unlimited.

Other Cache

• Cache user, group, security and project tree structure info
  If this option is checked, information of users, groups, security rights and project tree structure will be cached on the server cache.  If you set up only one SourceAnywhere server, checking this option will greatly improve the client responsiveness.

Note: If cluster is used for SourceAnywhere server, please uncheck this option for any server, so as to avoid errors caused by the loss of data synchronization.

Memory

Storing temporary data in memory may reduce disk I/O and improve server performance. Before setting the memory size for SourceAnywhere server, make sure that there is enough free memory available.

• Use the default setting for server memory (1/16 of the total physical memory) -  When this option is checked, SourceAnywhere server uses 1/16 of the total physical memory for caching..
• Use a fixed amount of memory  - When this option is checked, SourceAnywhere server uses a fixed amount of physical memory specified in the Memory size textbox by default, if the Lock Pages in Memory privilege is enabled for the Log On user of SourceAnywhere Standalone service. Otherwise, the server uses the specified amount of virtual memory.
