Filling of the cache server
i would want to know the main system parameters involved in the management of the cache server. Indeed our cacher server fills up until it's full and then some entries are deleted after some delay; i don't know which parameters manage these events.
Eric.
Caching server is backed by an sqlite database. If you want to see what you currently have downloaded, you can glean some information by accessing the database. Use this command to connect to the database:
sudo sqlite3 /Library/Server/Caching/Data/AssetInfo.db
Once connected, you can use .tables to see the tables in the database but the one with the most information appears to be ZASSET. Use:
select * from ZASSET;
To list the current contents. You will get a series of records similar to the following:
26|1|5|0|868991341|402440412.42114|402507221.969799|ffaf18a45cd5dd5e853233629036 5767|30B9108D-ABE4-4061-A2E0-42E91301249B|Fri, 06 Sep 2013 18:21:34 GMT|/content/downloads/14/11/091-9722/ognnjd4fno85m4pbapjtnv23b7rf1mkufx/OSXUpd Combo10.8.5.pkg|

Hi ... How does the clients (iOS devices) to configure/use the caching server to download apps from local caching server instead of App store?
Hi,
If you want to restore a reomoved app,you need to use
Add-AppxPackage to add a signed app package (.appx) to a user account.
But we cannot extract them from the ISO.
The behavior is by design.And this is a software protection regime.
Thanks for your understanding.

Some Crystal Reports are not using the Cache Server
Hi...we are currently running BOE XI R2 SP2. I setup a server group with a Cache Server and a Page Server. In the CMC, I set this cache server to keep reports cached for 15 minutes. On the Process tab of some reports, I specifically set the report to use this new server group. On some of the reports this works as expected. For others, it does not appear to be since the cache folder's Date Modified date does not change. So far the only similarity between the reports that do not use cache is that these reports have sub-reports. Has anyone experienced this before? If so, how did you resolve it?
Thanks!Hi Rich,
the connectivity on the Designer an don the BusinessObjects system is identical. Is region the only characteristic being used in the report ? which connectivity did you use in Crystal Reports ?

How to apply Qos in the precedence of cache server
m in an isp and iwant to apply the QOS to enhance my network internet performance
actually i have two requests , i will start with showing brief topology about my network and start asking the questions .
here is the topology below :
from the topology above , my access is only on R1 which is BGP internet gateway router and R2 is my ISP router.
1- i want to apply Qos on R1 so that a subnet of 32 ips to have gurantee bandwidth of 30M .
assume the subnet is 10.20.30.0/27 that need to be bw gurantee .
2- i want the download traffic by idman or ftp on my Router R1 dont exceed 50 % of my total bw .
i mean that i have 450M bandwith from my isp , & sometimes we have a slow in browsing , so i want to enhance the browsing quality because its more important that downloading files from internet.
here is my two requests above , i dont know how it will work with the precedence of the cache server .
anyway , i will paste my config of router and i will replace my puplic ips with xxx for privacy .

What does the "Only cache local content" box do under Caching Server?
Just upgraded to Mavericks server, but I don;t understand what the "Only cache local content option" does? Does that mean it caches content on an on-demand basis, or dowloads all availavle updates?
Thanks!
Joelhttps://help.apple.com/advancedserveradmin/mac/3.0/#apd5E1AD52E-012B-4A41-8F21-8 E9EDA56583A
I suppose it's hidden in the Key 'PeerFilterRanges'
When PeerFilterRanges is boolean true, the caching server does the same as the above but uses the ListenRanges rather than the PeerFilterRanges value. -
Hello,
I have a question that I had not found an answer to yet. I would like to use the OS X caching server, and I know that it caches a software update as soon as the first computer downloads it. If an application requires authentication using an Apple ID, and the first computer authenticates and downloads that update, do the rest of the computers have to authenticate as well, even though the update is downloaded from the caching server?
I am looking for a solution in that regard. For the company that I work, I would like a solution for users to be able to download software updates (OS or Application), without having to authenticate with the company Apple ID, for security reasons.
Would anybody be able to help?Yes. You still need to authenticate on the subsequent machines if you are interactively applying the updates. Caching server stores the application data, not the App Store authorization information.
You have some alternatives.
1: If you are using a single "corporate" Apple ID to claim your free apps (iMovie, iPhoto, etc), then you can download them on your master machine and then user ARD, JAMF, or other tool to push the full application packages out to all the clients. They will already be tagged to the Apple ID and since the push is happening in the background, as long as the user is not using the application, they will not know you are updating. Remember, App Store updates are the entire application, not update packages. So pushing the entire .app bundle is effective.
2: If you are looking to distribute purchased apps, you really should look at the VPP (volume purchase plan) from Apple (http://www.apple.com/business/vpp/) (there is also one for education but you mentioned company). This allows you as the organization to purchase the correct number of copies and then control the distribution of the apps to your end users. They can use their own Apple ID to claim the apps but you can reclaim the license should the user leave the organization.

Hi,
We have installed content server and it is working fine. We would like to install cache server to access content server from different location to reduce the access time. Is there any document/guide to link cache server to the existing content server.
For ex.When the user in Delhi stores the original, it has to route through cache server (Located at Delhi) to the content server (Located at Chennai) and get stored in Content server.
My mail ID is [email protected]
PrasannaHi Prasanna,
the installation of a cache server is pretty similar to a content sever. Therefore it's covered in the installation guide of the content server. You find the installation guide on
http://service.sap.com/instguides -> SAP Netweaver -> SAP Netweaver 7.0 (NW2004S) -> Installation
In the Window scroll down to the end. You find the Installtion Guides under
3 - Installation - Standalone Engines - > Installation - Content Server 6.40 on UNIX
3 - Installation - Standalone Engines - > Installation - Content Server 6.40 on Windows
On http://service.sap.com/ContentServer you find additional information including an FAQ answering your questions on the cache server.

Cache Server Post Customization
Hello Team,
We have installed Windows based 6.40 cache server in addition to Unix based Content server to impove network response time in DMS functions.
We have done post customization settings (OALO,SCMSCA,SCMSHO, SCMSIP) . We can successfully test the cache server with URL as mentioned in installation guide ( http://localhost:1095/Cache/CSProxyCache.dll) , and with report RSCMST from backend R3 system. However , how can we verify the existing content server to cache server intrgration. Are there any post steps need to be carried out to know the cache server existisance in DMS system .
The available cache server notes ( 216419,0407520) does not provide sufficeint information.
Thanks

Have you performed the cache connectivity test?

How to avoid links upp/down being propagated to the syslog server?
How do you avoid approx 5 billion links up/down filling up the Syslog server when you connect a couple of hundred Cisco Switches? Apart from setting the Level to Critical.
If possible we would like to gett messages from Warning and upwards in order to be able to pinpoint problems before they happen (or atleast find out what caused them) but not at the cost of having the whole logg drenched in links upp/down! We would also like the link-messages to remain in the switch log.You can create a logging discriminator to filter out those messages and then specify the discriminator in the logging host definition.
For instance:
logging discriminator FILTER mnemonics drops UPDOWN
logging trap notifications
logging host <syslog_server_address> discriminator FILTER
(Note the discriminator name is limited to 8 characters.) -
Hi All -
We currently have a Mac Mini and utilize its caching server functionality on our "normal" subnet. We also have a "guest" subnet which is abstracted from our normal subnet (used for guest wireless devices/BYOT). Would it be possible to use the Thunderbolt to Gigabit ethernet adapter on our Mac Mini and have the caching server serve updates on both interfaces/subnets so we do not have to buy a separate Mini to serve the guest subnet?Both networks and the server will have to have the same single WAN IP address. The following diagram shows a possible configuration that would work.
Subnet A -------------+
| |
Server +---------- Firewall/NAT ------ Internet
| |
Subnet B -------------+
The following should also work
Subnet A ---------- Server ---------- Subnet B --------- Firewall/NAT --- Internet
The above however requires the Server to act as a router to forward traffic
The following would not work
Subnet A -------------+
|
+---------- Firewall/NAT ------ Internet
| |
| |
Subnet B -------------+---------------------------------- Server
With the above the Server has its own public IP address and is also directly connected to one of the internal networks. As the server has its own public IP address this will be different to the shared (NATed) public IP address that everything else is using. As the public IP addresses are different the clients will not be able to use the Caching server.
