Managing the database cache
To change the number of databases the cache holds

If after monitoring the database cache you determine that you should increase the number of databases the cache can hold, use the NOTES.INI file setting, NSF_DbCache_Maxentries, as follows:

NSF_DbCache_Maxentries=value

Where value is the maximum number of databases allowed in the database cache at one time.

The alternative to using NSF_DbCache_Maxentries is to increase physical memory.

To show databases in the cache

Enter this command at the server console to display the names of the databases currently in the cache:

dbcache show

To close databases in the cache

Enter this command at the server console to close all databases in the cache:

dbcache flush

To disable the cache

By default, the database cache is enabled on a server. To disable the cache, add the following NOTES.INI file setting:

NSF_DbCache_Disable=1
