JR56535: Support invalidation of search cache by using a command line utility

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• For environments in which the search index is created in
  non-production, the cache invalidations that are fired by the
  UpdateSearchIndex scheduled job do not make it to the production
   servers. APAR JR56299 fixes that by introducing a new command
  called InvalidateSearchCache. But some clients do not use the
  job scheduler for search index administration, hence the need to
   have a command line utility.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• USERS AFFECTED:
  All WebSphere Commerce releases.
  
  PROBLEM ABSTRACT:
  Support invalidation of search cache by using a command line
  utility
  
  BUSINESS IMPACT:
  Production JSP cache cannot be invalidated if UpdateSearchIndex
  scheduled job is not used.
  
  RECOMMENDATION:
  

Problem conclusion

• An optional parameter is added to the invalidSearchCache utility
   to allow choosing which invalidation method is used:
  
  database: The default value. The invalidSearchCache utility uses
   TI_DELTA_CATENTRY/CATGROUP to generate invalidation entries in
  CACHEIVL table.
  
  index: The new value. The invalidSearchCache utility generates
  invalidation entries based on the most recent changes to the
  Repeater.
