Synchronizing the shared memory cache

When you create new types, property descriptors or constants in the Business Modeler IDE, the changes made to the metadata in running Teamcenter servers must be synchronized with the database. The synchronization is accomplished by the shared_server_metadata_cache_mgr executable. This executable runs as a service on Windows and as a daemon on Linux. By default, the service/daemon starts automatically. The daemon installation is available in the following environments: If you are installing the daemon in Teamcenter Environment Manager, install the daemon by selecting Server Enhancements →Database Daemons→Teamcenter Shared Metadata Cache Service in the Features panel. If you are installing the daemon in Deployment Center, select the Teamcenter Shared Metadata Cache Service check box in the Database Daemons component. Two preferences manage the behavior of this executable: You can use the TC_shared_server_metadata_cache_mgr_cloning_interval preference to stop and restart the service to avoid any possible memory leaks. Typically, this is not necessary. Accept the default setting (100 minutes). Use the TC_shared_server_metadata_cache_mgr_sleep_minutes preference to specify how frequently the service/daemon compares the latest metadata cache file against the database, exporting the latest metadata cache file in the Metadata directory if changes are found, and then mapping the file to the shared memory cache. To force the regeneration of the cache, even though no metadata changes exist in the database, run the generate_metadata_cache utility using the -force argument.
