APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
For environments in which the search index is created in non-production, the cache invalidations that are fired by UpdateSearchIndex do not make it to the production servers.
Local fix
Clients are forced to created their own custom trigger scripts.
Problem summary
USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Commerce Version 7 Feature Pack 8. PROBLEM ABSTRACT: Search cache invalidations are not propagated to production server BUSINESS IMPACT: Production JSP cache is not invalidated. RECOMMENDATION:
Problem conclusion
A new scheduler command, InvalidateSearchCacheCmd, is added to be run on the repeater so that it can determine whether cache invalidation entries need to be generated based on the current state of the indexing server. This command checks entries by using the following mechanism: 1. Queries the CACHEIVL database table to determine the most recent search-related invalidations 2. Once the last invalidation time is determined, it turns to the indexing server and requests for a list of IDs that were updated since this given last invalidation time 3. This command then takes the list of IDs (from both Catalog Entry and Catalog Group index) and generates the corresponding cache invalidation tasks based on the pre-configured cache invalidation templates in the wc-component.xml file 4. The invalidation tasks are then inserted into the CACHEIVL table 5. When DynaCacheInvalidation scheduler task starts at the next scheduled time interval, these CACHEIVL entries are processed and causes the respective dependent cache fragments to be invalidated.
