Pricing cache

eCommerce users from the same account and sales area can experience faster loading times, as pricing information will be read from a global cache instead of a session cache. To optimize the overall response time of the eCommerce application, configure a server-level global pricing cache.

Configure a pricing cache

To configure a pricing cache in Zilliant CPQ:

1. From the left navigation area, select Administration.
2. From the top tabs, select Master Data Management.
3. Select the Setting Boolean row.
4. Select Use Global Cache for Commerce Product Pricing.
5. Set the Setting Value Boolean switch to YES. If set to NO, the eCommerce application reads from a session cache instead of a global cache when a user is signed in to eCommerce.
6. Return to Master Data Management and select the Setting Numeric row.
7. Select Cache Size for Commerce Product Pricing.
8. Enter a cache size in the Setting Value Numeric field.
9. Restart the server.

Recommended cache sizes

The following table lists recommended cache sizes. Actual cache sizes differ based on user count, number of products, and other parameters. Adjust cache sizes on a case-by-case basis.
