About BOX caching

Starting in AX-3.8, the speed at which BOX generates Type and Contract information for BajaScript has been improved.

A new Property called Server Cache Configuration has been added to the BOX Service. You can configure the server cache from Low to High to decrease or increase performance speed:

  • Low (no caching)
  • Medium (cache the bare minimum)
  • High (cache everything)

The default setting is Medium. Medium does some caching, it does not cache everything. This is the safest option for a JACE. Setting the cache to Low removes all caching. Setting it to High causes everything to be cached, which consumes more memory.

 
NOTE: Increasing the BOX server cache can significantly improve server performance when computing Type and Contract information on a heavily loaded JACE 6s or JACE 2s.
 

BajaScript web applications work faster due to optimizations made in the BOX Server. BajaScript also caches Type and Contract information at the client. The result is that web pages that use BajaScript load faster on subsequent visits.
