The CorasWorks Business Data Cache Adapter allows you to cache content collected from any data source. Content can be stored to memory, web part storage, session, or a file and can be maintained for a specific interval. When information is cached, you should see a noticeable improvement in performance on both your web server and data source.
As of v11.1, the Business Data Cache Adapter supports the ability to pass in basic elements via the URL such as cache ID, data cache extension, output type, and URL to XML. These elements can all be overridden in real time, so one BDCA can be used for multiple purposes.
Any parameters that reference a variable support the following variables:
• <%CurrentPageFolder%> - The current folder URL where the web part resides (e.g., http://www.company.com/sites/site1/connections)
• <%HostName%> - The host name of the site where the web part resides (e.g., www.company.com)
• <%SiteSecurityType%> - The protocol type of the site where the web part resides (e.g., http://)
• <%SiteURL%> - The absolute path to the site where the web part resides (e.g., http://www.company.com/sites/site1)
Example: <%SiteSecurityType%><%HostName%>/data/connections/dataprovider.aspx
