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

Create a Solace Cache Instance

A Cache Instance is a single Cache process that belongs to a single Cache Cluster. At least one Cache Instance is required for a Cache Cluster, and maximum up to 16 can be used. Cache Instances listen for and cache live data messages that match the topic subscriptions configured for their parent Cache Cluster.

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

You can create a Cache Instance by following these steps:

1. Open the Solace Cache Instance widget, click the Add Solace Cache Instance button. 
2. The Select Object Path dialog will open. Specify the Workgroup server, Node, Broker, Message VPN, Distributed Cache and Cache Cluster then click Select path. Click here to learn how to create a Distributed Cache and Cache Cluster.

By default, all available Workgroup servers, Nodes, Brokers, Message VPNs, Distributed Caches and Cache Clusters are selected. If you want to limit the selection, you must explicitly choose which ones to include.

3. The Solace Cache Instance Create Window will open. Enter the Cache Instance Name (required) and enable the options with False or True from dropdown.
   
4. Click Ok to create the Cache Instance immediately. Alternatively, click Schedule to create it at a future time (see Scheduling for details).
5. Now, go to the Cache Instance widget to see the newly added object. If you can't find it, refresh the widget using the Refresh icon.
