Enable Forms Cache to Improve Performance

The form cache is a single repository for storing form template data. Storing template data in cache avoids the Agent's repetitive reading of .fcc files for the same data. Consequently, when processing forms authentication requests, the form cache can improve the Agent's ability to fetch data that FCC threads use.

When a resource with an FCC extension is accessed, the corresponding template file is read and processed by the FCC. A Web Agent takes hundreds of these requests each second.

The form cache relieves the FCC by storing form template files in memory where they can be read easily. Virtual memory access is faster than disk access, allowing FCC components to process forms more quickly with reduced strain on the host server. The improved processing time increases the FCC's capacity for serving requests for each web server and makes forms authentication more efficient.
