DESCRIPTION

The Shore Object Cache Manager is a part of the Shore Language-Independent Library. Every Shore application process has its own cache manager, which communicates with the Shore Value-Added Server (SVAS) on behalf of Shore applications to begin, commit, and abort transactions, to cache persistent objects for use by application programs, and to resolve pathnames and logical OIDs (LOIDs). Applications access the functionality of the Object Cache Manager through the Shore, REF(t) classes, as well as others.

ERRORS

A complete list of errors that can result from method calls to the Shore Object Cache is given in errors(oc).

VERSION

SPONSORSHIP
