Application Server Interface
Possible values
5 through 600 seconds
Explanation
In a single system image, this parameter specifies the time after which Blueworx Voice Response tests
whether any application objects have been changed.
When Blueworx Voice Response first uses an application object (such as a state table), it
stores that object in a shared memory cache so that it does not have to reload
the object from disk next time the object is used. When the properties of
an object are changed, the runtime cache is updated:
- On a stand-alone Blueworx Voice Response system, the runtime cache is usually updated immediately,
so the new properties become effective immediately. However, if you change
the object properties by importing data from a tape or disk, the runtime cache
is not updated until the runtime cache check interval ends.
- In a Blueworx Voice Response system that is configured as a single system image, the runtime
cache is updated immediately on the system on which the changes were made.
However, the caches on the other nodes in the cluster are not updated until
the runtime cache check interval expires.
To decide how to set this parameter, consider the following:
- A low value for this parameter means that the runtime cache is updated
frequently. This means the cache is more likely to be up-to-date when the
application object is used, but the frequent caching requires more transactions
with the application object database.
- A high value for this parameter means that the runtime cache is updated
less frequently, so fewer transactions affect the application object database.
However, the cached data persists for longer, so it is more likely to be out-of-date
when the application object is used.
