INTRODUCTION
This article describes the built-in caching utility in ProClarity Analytics Server (PAS). Additionally, this article describes how to disable the caching utility.



MORE INFORMATION
The PAS built-in caching utility caches Briefing Book pages and other data. Therefore, when you request the same Briefing Book pages more than one time, later requests can bypass the Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) query and the chart generation.

Additionally, the caching utility makes scheduled checks to keep the cached data current with the OLAP cube data.

If the cache effectiveness is low, you can configure the cache engine to disable the caching utility. When the caching utility is disabled, PAS regenerates contents for each query. Therefore, the cached content is always current and has the correct security context. Additionally, disabling the caching utility reduces system random access memory (RAM) usage.

To disable the caching utility, follow these steps:  Create a backup of the Global.asa file. In Notepad, open the Global.asa file.  Paste the following code anywhere in the file: Cache.hitrate = 0 Cache.SpaceLimitMB=10 Cache.HardSpaceLimitMB=10 

Note When you disable the PAS caching utility, the ProClarity Web Standard client may run more slowly.

For more information about the PAS cache engine, see the ProClarity Analytics Server Administrators Guide.
