Abstract

How to configure the Item and Data cache values for the Sitecore Content Delivery and Content Management server roles.

Applies to

Content Delivery, Content Management

To configure Item and Data cache values:

  1. Create a patch file for cache size values. For example, custom.caching.config.

  2. Use rule-based configuration to target different environments. The following example sets custom Web database cache values for Content Delivery, and Master database cache values for Content Management:

    <configuration xmlns:patch="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/" 
xmlns:set="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/set/" xmlns:role="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/role/">
    <sitecore>
        <databases>
            <database id="web" role:require="ContentDelivery or Standalone">
                <cacheSizes>
                    <data>1000MB</data>
                    <items>1000MB</items>
                </cacheSizes>
            </database>
            <database id="master" role:require="Standalone or ContentManagement">
                <cacheSizes>
                    <data>1000MB</data>
                    <items>1000MB</items>
                </cacheSizes>
            </database>
        </databases>
    </sitecore>
</configuration>

  3. Deploy your configuration file to the <root>/App_Config/Includes folder. You can check your changes by visiting /sitecore/admin/showconfig.aspx and searching for patch:source="custom.caching.config".
