Using the memcache commands

You can use the memcache commands to get, enable, and disable the default caching store operations on your Developer Portal service.

  1. Log in as Provider org:
    apic login --server management_server --realm provider/identity_provider --username provider_username --password provider_password
    You can determine which identity provider to use in the --realm parameter by entering the following command to see a list of all available identity providers (you do not need to be logged in to use this command):
    apic identity-providers:list --scope provider --server mgmt_endpoint_url --fields title,realm
    For example,
    apic identity-providers:list --scope provider --server myserver.com --fields title,realm 
    total_results: 2
    results:
      - title: API Manager Local User Registry
        realm: provider/default-idp-2
      - title: Corporate LDAP user registry
        realm: provider/corporate-ldap
    The title value should enable you to determine which identity provider to use; you can then copy the corresponding --realm parameter directly from the displayed realm value. For any identity providers that were created by your administrator after API Connect was installed, the names will have been determined at creation time. The default API Manager Local User Registry for login as a member of a provider organization is default-idp-2.

    For full details of the apic login command, see Logging in to a management server.

    For a summary of the general-purpose commands and their use, see Developer Portal CLI commands.

  2. Get the status of all the memcache enabled operations.
    apic --mode portaladmin --server management_server memcache:get --org orgid/name --catalog catalogid/name
    • mode is the toolkit operation mode.
    • management_server is the endpoint URL of the management server (required).
    • catalogid/name is the ID or name of the catalog that the site belongs to (required).
    • orgid/name is the ID or name of the provider organization that the catalog belongs to (required).
    For example,
    apic --mode portaladmin --server api.stagingexample.com memcache:get --org ibm --catalog api-connect-catalog-1
  3. Enable the default caching store operations. This will set Drupal to use the RAM as cache.
    apic --mode portaladmin --server management_server memcache:enable --org orgid/name --catalog catalogid/name
  4. Disable the default caching store operations. This will set Drupal to use the database as cache.
    apic --mode portaladmin --server management_server memcache:disable --org orgid/name --catalog catalogid/name
