Caching web pages

You can configure IBM® Product Master to cache web pages when you have low connectivity bandwidth.

About this task

By default, the no_cache parameter is set to off so that proxy servers do not cache web pages.

If the no_cache parameter is set to on, web page caching is enabled but your web browser's Back function is limited. Your web browser's Back is only functional and not cause errors only when the no_cache parameter is set to off.

Note: Users must clean their browser cache before you use the user interface for the first time after a fix pack, interim fix, or test fix is applied. Frequently, JavaScript files that the user interface depends on are updated and installed with each release. These JavaScript files are cached by the browser when the user interface loads. To avoid incompatibilities and issues in using the user interface, you must clean your browser cache such that the latest JavaScript files are loaded and used by the user interface.

Procedure

  1. With a text editor, open the common.properties file in the $TOP/etc/default directory.
  2. Set the no_cache parameter to on.

Example

In this example, web page caching is enabled.
no_cache=on
