Set Repository Cache Preferences

The repository cache preferences let you enable cache usage and specify how to access the cache.

You can store and access the cache in the following ways:

Specify a local (or LAN accessible) directory. Cache files are stored in this directory. Other users that also have LAN access to this directory can use it for a cache.
Specify a remote agent. A remote agent stores and access the cache files. Users that have permission to log in to this agent can use it for a cache.

Follow these steps:

Select Tools, Preferences, Remote Site Cache.
The Remote site Cache page appears.
On this page specify one of the following:
- A local directory—Enter the directory name or use the browse button to locate the directory. If the directory name does not exist it is created the first time the cache is updated.
- The location and login parameters for an agent to use for the cache—Enter the agent host name, port number, user name, and password.
Enable the Update cache during checkout check box if you want the cache to update as part of check-out operations.
Click OK.
Your repository cache preferences are set.
