Question

A system administrator asks:

Process Commander uses multiple memory and disk caches,, and each user has an Internet Explorer cache on the workstation.  

In a development system, it's to be expected that certain caches need to be cleared for various purposes. 

But in a production setting, where the pace of rule change is much slower, are there any caches that should be cleared routinely? Does it depend on how long the system stays up?

Is there any need to flush any of the caches, either for accuracy or for performance, in a production system -- in which no rules change or rules change only slowly?

Response

Process Commander is designed to have high availability and high performance, even during extended periods of uptime. In a production setting, there are no requirements for periodic clearing of any cache, and no benefits from doing so.

System data is saved into the file system and/or is collected in in-memory caches.  The in-memory caches are self-regulating, having high-water settings that govern their discarding of least-used material.
