Abstract

Handy Guide to the latest performance fixes and best practices for VM

Body

- Caching enhancements done in 9.3 FP7. 
For more control over performance, when the PricingRule and PricelistHeader caches are refreshed, a new attribute RefreshCache has been introduced. Sometimes these caches are refreshed more often than desired and performance is impacted.
'RefreshCache' is added to the root level elements of input requests for the following:
managePricelistHeader
managePricelistAssignment
managePricelistSellerAssignment
managePricingRule
managePricingRuleAssignment
managePricingRuleSellerAssignment
When the value for the RefreshCache attribute is 'N', no refresh cache message is sent and no caches are updated. The default value for RefreshCache is 'Y".
 
- Optimization of model compile process in VM930-FP3.
The API calls made to fetch SKU details, during the compile operation are optimized. As a part of this fix,blank item ids are removed from the getItemList API calls to further improve performance.
