Reset CA GovernanceMinder Cache Limits

To support large CA GovernanceMinder configurations, you can expand CA GovernanceMinder cache memory limits.

CA GovernanceMinder cache memory is defined by the number of CA GovernanceMinder elements (user, resource, role, or link records) that can be held in the cache at once. When the cache is full, elements are swapped in and out of memory - which can affect performance. The default setting limits the memory cache to 500,000 elements.

This procedure describes how to reset cache settings for an existing CA GovernanceMinder server implementation. In WebSphere implementations, you can modify these settings before implementation by editing the EAR file you use to install CA GovernanceMinder server.

Follow these steps:

1. Edit the ehcache-sageDal.xml file on the CA GovernanceMinder server:
   • In standalone JBoss implementations, this file is located in the following directory:

     gm_install\Server\eurekify-jboss\server\eurekify\deploy\eurekify.war\WEB-INF\classes\
     

     Note: gm_install is the CA GovernanceMinder installation directory.

   • In clustered JBoss implementations, this file is located in the following directory:

     C:\jboss5.1.0.GA\server\all\farm\eurekfiy.war\WEB-INF\classes\
     

   • In WebSphere/AIX implementations, this file is located in the eurekify.ear file CA GovernanceMinder uses for installation, which is located in the following directory:

     \eurekify.war\WEB-INF\classes
     

     After installation, this file is located in the deployed application directory of each server under the following directory:

     /gm_install/eurekify.war/WEB-INF/classes
     

2. In the defaultCache element, change the following attribute:

   maxElementsInMemory

   Defines the maximum number of users, resources, roles, or link elements stored in cache memory.

3. Save changes to the file and close.

   You have reset cache settings for an existing CA GovernanceMinder server implementation.
