Cache seeding using Agents

Cache seeding using Agents:

You can configure agents to seed the Oracle BI Server cache. Seeding the cache can improve response times for users when they run analyses or view analyses that are embedded on their dashboards.

Configure an agent to seed the Oracle BI Server cache:

1. Log in to Oracle Business Intelligence and select New, then select Agent.
2. On the General tab, select Recipient for the Run As option. Personalized cache seeding uses the data visibility of each recipient to customize agent delivery content for each recipient.
3. On the Schedule tab, specify when you want the cache to be seeded.
4. On the Delivery Content tab, select an individual request or an entire dashboard page for which you want to seed the cache. Selecting a dashboard page can save time.
5. On the Recipients tab, select individual users or groups to be the recipients.
6. On the Destinations tab, clear all user destinations and select Oracle BI Server Cache.

7. Save the agent by selecting the Save button in the upper-right corner

The only difference between cache seeding agents and other agents is that they clear the previous cache automatically and do not appear on the dashboard as Alerts. Cache seeding agents only purge exact match queries, so stale data might still exist.
