Defining Cache Duration for WSDL and XSD

In this article

Overview

Whenever you provide resources such as WSDLs and XSDs, in SOAP-based Snap Packs such as Workday, Xactly, NetSuite, Soap, and Birst, SnapLogic caches the data for some time. The default cache duration is four hours (240 minutes). You can modify this to any positive number by updating the Snaplex properties either through the SnapLogic Manager or by manually editing the Snaplex's global properties.

It is not recommended to set the cache duration to "0" as this disables the cache completely, and can cause severe performance issues for complex WSDLs that include the same core XSD files from other multiple XSD files. For example, loading the NetSuite WSDL would cause the core.xsd file to be loaded at least 15 times via multiple paths through its many XSD files that depend on the core definitions.

Modifying Cache Duration

Method 1: Defining the Cache Duration in the SnapLogic Manager

If your Snaplex uses the slpropz file, you can set the cache duration in SnapLogic Manager. 

  1. Confirm that the .slpropz is available in your Snaplex's snaplogic/etc folder. 

  2. In the Update Snaplex dialog, Node Properties tab, under Global propertiesadd the global property, "jcc.jvm_options = -Dsnaplogic.network.read.cache.duration.minutes=nnn", where nnn is the cache duration in minutes. For example, to decrease the cache duration to 1 minute, specify the Value as -Dsnaplogic.network.read.cache.duration.minutes=1.


  3. Click Apply. This updates the cache duration and restarts the Snaplex with the new setting.
