Enable cache key indexing

Abstract

How to enable cache key indexing on the Sitecore Content Delivery and Content Management server roles.

Applies to

Content Delivery, Content Management

Cache key indexing can significantly reduce the time it takes to perform operations on a large cache, and is particularly useful in large solutions where items are frequently renamed, moved, copied, and deleted. Cache key indexing is available for the following caches:

  • Access Result cache

  • Item cache

  • Item paths cache

  • Paths cache

To enable cache key indexing:

  • Create a patch file and set all cache key indexing settings to true as shown. The following example enables cache key indexing on the Content Delivery and Standalone roles only:

    <configuration
    xmlns:patch="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/" 
    xmlns:set="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/set/">
    <sitecore>
        <settings>
            <setting name="Caching.CacheKeyIndexingEnabled.AccessResultCache" set:value="true"/>
            <setting name="Caching.CacheKeyIndexingEnabled.ItemCache" set:value="true"/>
            <setting name="Caching.CacheKeyIndexingEnabled.ItemPathsCache" set:value="true"/>
            <setting name="Caching.CacheKeyIndexingEnabled.PathsCache" set:value="true"/>
        </settings>
    </sitecore>
</configuration>
