DATA MI Clients using the Map Intelligence Agent make requests to the Map Intelligence server for map and map layer information for the internal maps from the map provider The Map Intelligence Agent is built using this infrastructure The following information is retrieved e Alist of the names of the maps served by the underlying map server e For each map a list of the layers that comprise the map e For each layer the list of fields that comprise the layer but not the geometries e For anumber of features in each layer the values of each field in the feature see below for how to set the maximum number of features that are returned for each layer The map and layer information elements are fetched when map enabling reports The process can be slowed down considerably by the Agent then Map Intelligence Server having constantly to request the underlying map server for map and layer data To improve performance the Map Intelligence server now has the ability to cache map and map layer information Caching is not turned on by default in the installation The behavior is driven by a properties file in the WEB INF properties directory called caching properties TURNING CACHING ON You must edit the caching properties file directly then re start the server for caching to take effect The first property you must set is as follows forge data cache enable true and this enables caching If you simply set this property to true
