The FairCom Server optionally maintains a list of data files and the number of bytes of data cache to be primed at file open. When priming cache, the server reads the specified number of bytes for the given data file into data cache when physically opening the data file.
Data files are added to the priming list with configuration entries of the form:
PRIME_CACHE <data file name>#<bytes primed>
For example, the following keyword instructs the server to read the first 100,000 bytes of data records from customer.dat into the data cache at file open:
PRIME_CACHE customer.dat#100000
A dedicated thread performs cache priming, permitting the file open call to return without waiting for the priming to be accomplished.
Use PRIME_CACHE with the SPECIAL_CACHE_FILE keyword to load dedicated cache pages at file open.
A <data file name> or <index file name> can be a wildcard specification using a ‘?’ for a single character and a ‘*’ for zero or more characters. See FairCom DB Standard Wildcards.
Default: No priming
