I am using Pentaho 5. My dimensions keep changing frequently and I need the changes to be applied to the dashboard, this is not possible because Pentaho keeps caching. I have created the cube using the datasource wizard and the querys using mdx over mondrian jndi. Even though I set the property Cache to false or set cache duration doesn't seem to work. Is there a API that I can use with mondrian jndi to clear cache? Or are there any property files that I should change? Please help.
In Pentahoo 7 the "Clear Cache" option is in a different Menu:
Tools -> Database -> Clear Cache
If you are using Database lookup and if you are getting older fields, cleaning cache can actually solved the problem.
It worked for me.
You can do it manually inside Pentaho User Console: Tools -> Refresh -> Mondrian Schema Cache.
Or you can make schedule for refreshing cache: find clear_mondrian_schema_cache.xaction inside your installation and schedule it.
Option 1:
You can read http://javadoc.pentaho.com/bi-platform500/webservice500/ for api details.
And also you can refresh Reporting Metadata Cache via web service, you can use the following web service call:
http://localhost:8080/pentaho/api/system/refresh/metadata
Option2: You can navigate to \biserver-ee\tomcat\webapps\pentaho\WEB-INF\classes
and change the configuration file "ehcache.xml"
<cache name="report-dataset-cache"
maxElementsInMemory="50"
eternal="false"
overflowToDisk="false"
timeToIdleSeconds="1"
timeToLiveSeconds="2"
diskPersistent="false"
diskExpiryThreadIntervalSeconds="1"
/>
If you have done that and still no positive answer, I think you have not restarted the BA server. If the issue still exists comment below.
There are 2 options
One is to schedule "clear mondrian schema" on ba server but for that to happen , you need to get clear_mondrian_schema.xml from pentaho-solutions/systems folder and upload it in some folder that you can access on ba server. You can then use normal schedule file options to achieve you want. This put a lof of load on BA server though.
My second recommendation is if you are using cubes/schema and building using schema workbench, you can turn the caching off. If your database is architecturally good and your schemas all well defined, user will get updates/new data as soon as they refresh.

I want to disable the Database Replication from the replica cluster in MarkLogic 8 using ML-Gradle. After updating the configurations, I also want to re-enable it.
There are tasks for enabling and disabling flexrep in ML Gradle. But I couldn't found any such thing for Database Replication. How can this be done?
ml-gradle uses the Management API to handle configuration changes. Database Replication is controlled by sending a PUT command to /manage/v2/databases/[id-or-name]/properties. Update your ml-config/databases/content-database.json file (example that does not include that property) to include database-replication, including replication-enabled: true.
To see what that object should look like, you can send a GET request to the properties endpoint.
You can create your own command to set replication-enabled - see https://github.com/rjrudin/ml-gradle/wiki/Writing-your-own-management-task
I'll also add a ticket for making official commands - e.g. mlEnableReplication and mlDisableReplication, with those defaulting to the content database, and allowing for any database to be specified.
In my application i'm using Infinispan 5.3 version and I want to change setting after cache is initialized. Default settings will be loaded from xml file and some of the settings ( ex : eviction maxEntries, lifespan, etc ) should be able to change any time of application running (This is changed by sysadmin). Is there way to changed settings of already created cache ?
I tried EmbeddedCacheManager.defineConfiguration(String cacheName, Configuration configurationOverride); but this has no effect on already created cache.
Please, take into account that in the Infinispan version 5.3 there is no possibility to change cache configuration "on the fly". You need to restart your service with new configuration in case of any wanted change.
This is something the community might want to work on in the future. However, such a task is not easy because you need to figure out how to correctly deal with affected data immediately after the configuration change.
Feel free to raise new feature request: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN/
I'm trying to compare the performance of different Solr queries. In order to get a fair test, I want to clear the cache between queries.
How is this done? Of course, one can restart the server, I was curious if there is a quicker way.
I'm using version 4.2.1 and even with autowarmCount="0" the cache is not updated after doing a Dataimport.
In that case, on Solr Admin (usually http://localhost:8983/)
Go to Core Admin and click Reload.
When refreshed, you should see a green check mark on the "current" field.
Disable all the caches from solrconfig.xml.
Note that the Lucene FieldCache will still be enabled.
Just for thorough details
If you want to disable a cache (or all), comment out those sections in solrconfig.xml and restart solr.
example diable queryResultCache
<!--
<queryResultCache class="solr.LRUCache"
size="5000"
initialSize="5000"
autowarmCount="2000"/>
-->
First of all, I know that the error I am getting can be resolved by creating reference project (of type Database Server) and then referencing it in my Database project...
However, I find this to be overkill, especially for small teams where there is no specific role separation between developers and db admins..But, let's leave this discussion for another time... Same goes for DACs...Can't use DAC b/c of limited objects supported...
Question
Now, the question is: Can I (and how), disable SQL03006 error when building my Database project. In my case this error is generated because I am creating some users whose logins are "unresolved"...I think this should be possible I hope, since I "know" that logins will exist on the server before I deploy the script...I also don't want to maintain database server project just so I can keep refs resolved (I have nothing besides logins at server level)...
Workaround
Using pre/post deployment scripts, it is trivial to get the secript working...
Workaround Issue
You have to comment out user scripts (which use login references) for workaround...
As soon as you do that, the .sqlpermissions bomb out, saying there is no referenced users...And then you have to comment permissions out and put them in post deploy scripts...
The main disadvantage of this workaround is that you cannot leverage schema compare to its fullest extent (you have to specify to ignore users/logins/permissions)
So again, all I want is
1. to maintain only DB project (no references to DB Server projects)
2. disable/suppress SQL03006 error
3. be able to use schema compare in my DB project
Am I asking for impossible? :)
Cheers
P.S.
If someone is aware of better VS2010 database project templates/tools (for SQL Server 2008 R2) please do share...
There are two workarounds:
1.
Turn off any schema checking (Tools > Options > Database Tools > Schema Compare > SQL Server 200x, then the Object Type tab) for anything user or security related. This is a permanent fix
2.
Go through the schema comparison and mark anything user or security related as Skip and then generate your SQL compare script. This is a per schema comparison fix.
It should be obvious but if you already have scripts in your project that reference logins or roles then delete them and they won't get created.
I am using memcache.
I want to understand what is stored in Magento cache and how?
Do magento stores cache variable with website scope or store scope?
I have googled and greped the code but couldnt conclude anything,
Please if someone can direct me to correct links and path
Thanks & Regards,
Saurabh
If you go to the Cache Management section of the admin area you can see what it caches (configuration, layout configuration, block html output, translations, eav types, etc). I am no expert on Magento's caching mechanisms but here are a few random tidbits that might be helpful (maybe). (Also note that I am only familiar with Magento 1.3.x, not 1.4.x so things could have changed).
The caching is actually stored in the var/cache directory. There are a ton of directories in there (mage--0, mage--1, mage--2) and each directory has the cache files. Do a ls var/cache/mage*/* to see all the files.
Configuration - This source for the configuration is varied. Your app/etc/local.xml, and all of the config.xml files (that are in each module's etc dir) are combined together to make one big configuration object. Then Magento reads from the core_config_data table to update the configuration object. Then the configuration is written to a cache file so that next time a request is made it doesn't need to open a ton of config files and hit the database. Somehow this info gets stored in a bunch of files under var/cache. For some insight do a ls var/cache/mage*/*CONF*.
Layout - This is a lot like the configuration... there are a bunch of xml files in the app/design/frontendOrAdminhtml/yournamespace/layout/ directory and all these are merged into one layout configuration object, then cached in the cache directory.
Block HTML - The actual html generated by a block is cached. Each block is able to decide how long it is going to be cached.
Lastly, to (not really) answer your question about if the cache is per website or store, I can't really say since I haven't had the need to setup a multi-website/multi-store shop yet. It looks like there may be some store/website-specific files, but I can't see that they are really organized in a logical way. For example, in one of my instances I see a var/cache/mage--f/mage---LAYOUT_FRONTEND_STORE0_DEFAULT_BLANK_SEO file and a var/cache/mage--f/mage---LAYOUT_FRONTEND_STORE1_DEFAULT_BLANK_SEO... but then again, I only have one store configured and those two files have the same contents. Good luck with that!
You could also use some of the very great memcached analysis and reporting tools available
http://code.google.com/p/memcached/wiki/Tools
The best solution I have come up with is to use a two level cache.
Consult app/etc/local.xml.additional to see how to put memcached server nodes in there. Note that within the <servers> tag you will have to have tags like <server1> and <server2> encapsulating each memcached node's settings.
<cache>
<backend>memcached</backend>
<slow_backend>database</slow_backend>
</cache>
In this way all cache is shared.
To clear it the way I do it is to:
1. shut down apache
2. connect to mysql and connect to the magento db and run truncate core_cache; truncate core_cache_tag.
3. I then bounce the memcached nodes.
4. I restart apache but I keep it out of the load balancer until I have hit it at least once to generate the APC opcode cache. Otherwise the load can shot up through the roof.
This all seems extreme but I have found it works for me. Clearing cache using the backend is REALLY slow. I have around 100k entries in the core_cache table and close to 1 million entries in core_cache_tag. If I don't do it this way sometimes I get strange behavior.
Your Memcache configuration in ./app/etc/local/xml will dictate what Memcache is actually caching.
If you are only using a the single-level cache (without ), then Magento will store its cache (in its entirety) in Memcache.
HOWEVER without the slow_backend defined - it is caching content, without cache_tags - ie. without the ability to differentiate cache items
Eg. configuration, block, layouts, translations etc.
So, without the defined, you cannot refresh caches individually, in-fact, you'll almost always have to rely on "Flush Cache Storage" to actually see updates take effect.
We wrote a nice article here which covers your very issue - http://www.sonassi.com/knowledge-base/magento-knowledge-base/what-is-memcache-actually-caching-in-magento/
Memcached is a distributed memory caching system. It speeds up websites having large dynamic databases by storing database objects in Dynamic Memory to reduce the pressure on a server whenever an external data source requests a read. A Memcached layer reduces the number of times database requests are made.
The caching is actually stored in the var/cache directory. There are a ton of directories in there (mage--0, mage--1, mage--2) and each directory has the cache files. Do a ls var/cache/mage*/* to see all the files.
Configure Memcache Magento 2
Magento 2 also supports Memcached for caching objects but it isn’t enabled by default. You need to make simple changes to the $Magento2Root/app/etc/env.php file to enable it.
In env.php, you will see a large number of PHP arrays with different settings and configurations. Open the file in your favorite code editor and locate the following code:
array (
session' =>
'save' => 'files',
),
Modify this chunk as:
'session' =>
array (
'save' => 'memcached',
'save_path' => '<memcache ip or host>:<memcache port>'
),
Note that the default value for memcache ip is 127.0.0.1:11211. Similarly, the default value for memcache port is 11211.
