LDAP caches and DB2 buffer pools

You can use the LDAP caches and DB2® buffer pools to cache the previously accessed data. The cached data improves the performance of a directory server by reducing the disk access.

When the requested data is found within a cache or buffer pool, it is called a cache hit. A cache miss occurs when requested data is not in a cache or buffer pool.

The information type that is stored in each cache and buffer pool is different. To obtain better results, you must understand how and when each cache and buffer pool is accessed.
