Error description
Tax category information from the TAXCGRY database table is cached in memory, in the Store registry. When a large number of tax categories are defined for a Store, the memory footprint can grow large and may affect the ability of the JVM to efficiently manage it's memory.

Problem summary
USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Commerce v7.0 users who have a large number of tax categories defined for a store PROBLEM ABSTRACT: Store registry memory footprint is larger than necessary. BUSINESS IMPACT: When a large number of tax categories are defined for a Store, the memory footprint can become large. In a 32 bit WebSphere Application Server, there is a limit to the maximum amount of memory that can be used, in which case having a large memory footpri
Problem conclusion
A limited set of information relating to the tax category which was stored in the registry was required. In addition, the required information is also cached in the Calculation registry, which already uses a smaller memory footprint to store this similar data. This fix disables the caching of tax category information in the Store registry. For backward compatibility, to obtain the previous behaviour, the following tag can be specified in the InstanceProperties tag in the wc-server.xml instance configuration file: <com.ibm.commerce.registry.StoreRegistry cacheTaxCategory="true" /> The application server must be restarted for the setting to take effect. ------------------------------------------------------------- The latest available maintenance information can be obtained from the Recommended Fixes for WebSphere Commerce technote: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=3046&uid=swg21261296
