Static Data Cache
The FTM database has a number of "static" tables and views. These tables and views are static in that they have very few, if any, updates or changes. This static data is read on FTM initialization and cached within the integration node to improve the performance of FTM.
The core FTM flows use the cache when retrieving the static data. This offers performance benefits over accessing this data directly from the FTM database. It is recommended that FTM application code also uses this cache when retrieving the static data for similar performance reasons.
