Configure Item and Data cache values

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".
