Managing caches

During each synchronization, M-Business Server compares the date of the pages in its cache with the date of the pages on the remote site, retrieving only pages that have been updated. Having a channel cache saves time during the synchronization, because M-Business Server does not have to wait to retrieve cached pages.

Cookie cache

Sites that you visit place cookies containing information about you in your user profile. Clearing the cookie cache will remove any personalized information that the web servers that you visit store in your M-Business Server account. If you do not want sites that you visit to display your personalized information when you return to them, you might want to clear the cookie cache.

Authentication information

Some web servers require you to supply a user name and password to access the site. M-Business Server caches this authentication information and supplies it to the web server when you synchronize. If you do not want M-Business Server to supply this information automatically, you might want to clear the authentication cache. Clearing the authentication cache will usually require you to re-enter your user name and password the next time you access a site that requires authentication.

Clearing M-Business Server caches

You can modify settings for the three types of cache used by M-Business Server: Channel, Cookies, and Authentication Info.

To manage the cache settings

1.Access your M-Business Server personal page.

2.Click Settings»Clear Web Caches. The Clear Web Caches page displays.
