Reloading Local Cache

The ObjectCache folders are used to store GUI definitions locally on each workstation. When a GUI object is requested by the host the client software will search local cache for that object. If it is found and if the timestamp for that object matches the host timestamp, the GUI object from local cache will be used. If the timestamps do not match a new GUI definition will either be created or the master definition will be downloaded from the host.

Performance can be improved by maintaining a master version of local cache and loading those directories on each workstation. VIP for Dictionary-IV includes a utility that will copy a mirror image of the ObjectCache folders to the vip-data-path\Tsi\ObjectCache directories. This utility can also be used to first empty ObjectCache and then reload it if local cache has become corrupt.

To reload ObjectCache run vip-program-path\TSSetupEnv.exe.

TSSetupEnv.exe -wash -load <load-directory-name>

-wash
When the -wash argument is supplied, TSSetupEnv.exe will clear the contents of:

vip-data-path\Tsi\ObjectCache\Format
vip-data-path\Tsi\ObjectCache\Help
vip-data-path\Tsi\ObjectCache\Menu
vip-data-path\Tsi\ObjectCache\Screens
vip-data-path\Tsi\ObjectCache\Screensg
vip-data-path\Tsi\ObjectCache\View
vip-data-path\Tsi\ObjectCache\Viewsp with the exception of default.tpl.

-load When the -load argument is supplied TSSetupEnv.exe will load the supplied files into the vip-data-path\Tsi\ObjectCache folders. The <load-directory-name> is optional. If not supplied, TSSetupEnv.exe will default to C:\vip-data-path\Tsi\LoadEnv as the source for the load environment. The directory structure of the load environment must mirror the entire directory structure of TSI\ObjectCache. For example:

C:\880LoadEnv\ObjectCache\Format C:\880LoadEnv\ObjectCache\Help C:\880LoadEnv\ObjectCache\Menu C:\880LoadEnv\ObjectCache\Screens C:\880LoadEnv\ObjectCache\Screensg C:\880LoadEnv\ObjectCache\View C:\880LoadEnv\ObjectCache\Viewsp
