Environment Variables

The search clients allow usage of environment variables. These environment variables control or alter the behavior of processes that the search clients run.

Variable Descriptions

SSA_SEARCH_CLIENT_CACHE

Indicates whether to enable the cache for the Java search client. To enable cache, set the environment variable to

YES

. For example,

SSA_SEARCH_CLIENT_CACHE=YES

. The Java search client disables the cache by default.

Use this environment variable for Java based clients and client programs linked to the

MDM Registry Edition

DLL. You cannot use this environment variable for Web services. Setting

SSA_SEARCH_CLIENT_CACHE=YES

may significantly improve the performance of platforms that establish connections between clients and servers.

Consider the following factors before you enable this variable:

If you use multiple

ids_search_get

functions to retrieve the records one by one, it results in significant reduction in performance of platforms that establish connections between clients and servers. To increase the performance in such scenarios, use the

ids_search_start

function to retrieve all the records and transfer the records to the client application in a single session.

The

ids_search_get

function retrieves records from the local memory.

Transferring all the records in a single session might significantly increase the CPU usage of the server.

If the client application does not use all the search results or if you do not prefer the increase in CPU usage, do not enable this variable.
