Error description

  • Attempting to start a WebSphere eXtreme Scale dynamic cache
    with a near cache currently requires the
    nearCacheLastAccessTTLSyncEnabled property set on the
    backingMap.   This should only be optional and should not
    result in the following warning:
    
    CWOBJ0006W:
    An
    exception
    occurred:
    com.ibm.websphere.objectgrid.ObjectGridRuntimeException:
    Dynamic cache near cache must have the
    nearCacheLastAccessTTLSyncEnabled backing map property set to
    true

    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    The nearCacheLastAccessTTLSyncEnabled feature will "touch" a
    remote cache entry whenever a "get" is performed on a
    corresponding near cache entry.   This is important if "Last
    Access" or "Least Recently Used" eviction is being performed
    on the remote dynamic cache data grid.   However, some
    users may be controlling their remote data grid size
    via invalidations (instead of Last Access or TTL eviction) and
    will want to avoid the overhead of the
    nearCacheLastAccessTTLSync processing.
    

Problem conclusion

  • For WebSphere eXtreme Scale, the
    nearCacheLastAccessTTLSyncEnabled property
    is
    now optional in the backingMap section of the Objectgrid.xml
    file.
    For the XC10 appliance, the custom property
    "com.ibm.websphere.xs.dynacache.disableNearCacheLastAccessTTLSyn
    c" can be set on the WAS dynamic cache instance, and
    this disables the LastAccessTTLSync function on the XC10.
