Caching PowerCenter Metadata for the Repository Service
Caching PowerCenter Metadata for the Repository Service
You can use repository agent caching to improve DTM process performance. When you enable repository agent caching, the Repository Service caches metadata requested by the Integration Service. When you cache metadata, the Integration Service reads the cache for subsequent runs of the task rather than fetching the metadata from the repository. Only metadata requested by the Integration Service is cached.
For example, you run a workflow with 1,000 sessions. The first time you run a workflow with caching enabled, the Integration Service fetches the session metadata from the repository. During subsequent runs of the workflow, the Repository Service fetches the session metadata from the cache. This increases DTM process performance.
