Description

Cache Expiration

Cache Expiration

Time interval to clear all cache entries. If the Cache Size is zero then this property is ignored.

Cache Size *

dbrecord-lookup-cache-size

0

Specifies how many lookup values/records should be cached. The cache is shared for all tables and keeps a map of lookup values to records. Setting this property to zero means no caching will be done and the table will be queried for each lookup value in each record. If the lookup table changes often or the most recent data must be retrieved, do not use the cache.

Clear Cache on Enabled *

dbrecord-lookup-clear-cache-on-enabled

true

  • true

  • false

Whether to clear the cache when this service is enabled. If the Cache Size is zero then this property is ignored. Clearing the cache when the service is enabled ensures that the service will first go to the database to get the most recent data.

Database Connection Pooling Service *

dbrecord-lookup-dbcp-service

The Controller Service that is used to obtain connection to database

Lookup Key Column *

dbrecord-lookup-key-column

The column in the table that will serve as the lookup key. This is the column that will be matched against the property specified in the lookup processor. Note that this may be case-sensitive depending on the database.

Table Name *

dbrecord-lookup-table-name

The name of the database table to be queried. Note that this may be case-sensitive depending on the database.

Lookup Value Column *

lookup-value-column

The column whose value will be returned when the Lookup value is matched
