FIX: The Catalog BCL CachingEnabled property is set to false by default (887125)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Commerce Server 2002

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Commerce Server 2002, the Catalog Base Class Library (BCL) cache does not appear to operate successfully and the caching is not provided.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because the CachingEnabled property is set to false by default. Therefore, the Catalog BCL cache is disabled.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, modify the setting by using the sample code that is in the "More Information" section. This enables the Catalog BCL cache.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

MORE INFORMATION

You must add the following code to the Commerce Server Retail 2002 sample site in the Application.cs file. Add the following code by using the Microsoft.CommerceServer.Runtime.Catalog namespace:
Public override void Init()

            {

                  base.Init ();

                  CommerceCatalogModule.CatalogContext.CachingEnabled = true;

            }
The Retail2002 site is a functional example of a site that was created by using Microsoft .NET technologies and Commerce Server 2002. It is a sample site only. It was not tested or intended to be production grade. If you extend the site for your own use, we recommend that you thoroughly test the site to make sure that the site and your extensions meet your requirements.
