Qlik Sense cache

Will a qlik sense app cache be re-generated every time we reload an app?

Hey Karthik,

It's a bit unclear what type of caching you are referring to. From the main memory management doc:

2018-08-20 11_16_18-QIX engine memory management and CPU utilization _.png

From this we have three types of cache:

(1) Base Cache for the app to be uncompressed from disk to memory (grey)

(2) Session cache for the user (dark green)

(3) Cache of the drill-downs by users (light green)

Post-reload, (1) will be refreshed if the doc is already in memory. The other 2 will not be touched on reload.

The key way of thinking about it is that a document will be in memory post reload if it was in memory prior to the reload.

Hope that helps.

Do you recommend reducing the app cache time from default value of 8 hours to maybe say 4 hours to release the cache faster.
