Besides the IXLCACHE services, several other services are available to users for managing and using a cache structure. The following is a list of services and exits:

• IXLCONN macro — Used to define characteristics of the cache structure and to connect to the structure
• IXLVECTR — Used to determine the validity of locally cached data and to manage the local cache vector
• IXLLOCK macro — Used to serialize access to data that is shared among users of the cache structure
• IXLFCOMP macro and the complete exit — Used to handle the completion of IXLCACHE requests that run asynchronously.
