Create a Solace Distributed Cache

This article will guide you through the process of creating a Solace Distributed Cache.

A Distributed Cache is a collection of one or more Cache Clusters that belong to the same Message VPN. Each Cache Cluster in a Distributed Cache is configured to subscribe to a different set of topics. This effectively divides up the configured topic space, to provide scaling to very large topic spaces or very high cached message throughput.

Before creating the Distributed Cache, you must establish a Solace Manager connection. To learn how, click on Create Remote Solace Manager Connection.

Create a Solace Distributed Cache

You can create a Solace Distributed Cache by following these steps:

1. Open the Solace Distributed Cache viewlet, click the Add button  . 
2. The Select Object Path window will open. Specify the Workgroup server, Node, Broker, and Message VPN then click Select path.
   By default, all available Workgroup servers, Nodes, Brokers, and Message VPNs are selected. If you want to limit the selection, you must explicitly choose which ones to include.
3. The Solace Distributed Cache Create Window will open. Enter the Distributed Cache Name (required) and populate other needed details.
   
4. Click Ok to create the Distributed Cache immediately. Alternatively, click Schedule to create it at a future time (see Scheduling for details).
5. Now, go to the Distributed Cache viewlet to see the newly added object. If you can't find it, refresh the viewlet using the Refresh icon.
