Clear L2 cache + server farm

[RICHARD FRIEND]

Hi

We are using the L2 cache which works great, however we would like to add an admin function to blow the cache out, sometimes we may make data changes direct to the database (new lookup types etc..) and would the option to blow the cache out completely, is this possible ?

Also are there any docs regarding multiple servers and syncronising the cache between them?

Thanks
Richard

Hello RICHARD FRIEND,
Currently we do not provide publicly available API for evicting the cache, however we cooked a small sample that should help you out via reflection:

Database db = Database.Get("DatabaseConnection1");
            IObjectScope scope = db.GetObjectScope();
            Telerik.OpenAccess.RT.DatabaseAdapter dba = scope.Database.Adapter as Telerik.OpenAccess.RT.DatabaseAdapter;
            OpenAccessRuntime.DataObjects.OpenAccessPersistenceManagerFactory pmf =
                dba.GetType().GetMethod("GetImpl", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic).Invoke(dba, null) as
                OpenAccessRuntime.DataObjects.OpenAccessPersistenceManagerFactory;
            pmf.evictAll();

Regarding your second question -  more about cache clustering and performance could be found here.

Hi Dimitar,

I am trying to invalidate the L2 cache on one object type only. evictAll() method has an overload accepting a Telerik.OpenAccess.Reflect.Class and a bool. The following does not work (getting a runtime error):

pmf.evictAll((Telerik.OpenAccess.Reflect.Class)typeof(MyORMManagedClass), true);

What do I need to do to call that method successfully for a specific class?

Thanks,
Vlad

Hi Vlad Rus,
You do not have a chance, you have to wait for us to implement the API.

Has the API been built now?

Thanks.

[Jan Blessenohl]

Hi Patrice Boissonneault,
Yes, the API is available
IObjectScope: scope.Database.Cache...

For context please add a partial class to your generated context and add a property:

public DatabaseLevelCache Cache
{
    get
    {
        return GetScope().Database.Cache
    }
}
