Other Caches

  • Article

The CatalogManager object properties and the profiles in the ProfileService object are cached in application level dictionaries for performance reasons. This is a different mechanism from the other caches; the CacheManager object does not manage these dictionaries.

Catalog Manager Properties Cache

Profile Definition Cache

CatalogManager Properties Cache

The MSCSCatalogAttribs dictionary caches the catalog attributes as exposed by the CatalogManager object. This cache is used for quicker attribute lookup on the product.asp page. The dictGetCatalogAttributes function loads properties into the dictionary. This dictionary is refreshed when the other catalog caches are refreshed in the file BDRefresh.asp.

Profile Definition Cache

The MSCSProfileProperties dictionary caches the profile definition information. The dictGetProfileSchemaForAllProfileTypes function loads the profile definitions from MSCSProfileService in the include\global_main_lib.asp file. This cache has a refresh mechanism that is similar to other site caches. However the Publish Profiles module in Commerce Server Business Desk calls the RefreshApp.asp page instead of the BDRefresh.asp file.
