<div class="important"><span class="importanttitle">Important:</span> Information

It is recommended that you install the latest PTFs to upgrade to the latest

with the default configuration.</p>
<p>You must write an application to send trigger messages to the triggered
cache manager server. Messages your application sends cause the server to
update, delete, or publish items in one or more cache targets (specified in
the server configuration), using data retrieved from data sources (also specified
in the server configuration). For more information on how to write a program
to send trigger messages, see <a href="rzaietrigger.htm">Trigger messages for triggered cache manager on HTTP Server (powered by Apache)</a>.

</li>
<li>Click <strong>Create</strong>. The message, "Server 'JKLTCMServer' has been created
with default configuration settings" will display at the bottom of your screen.
</li>
<li>In the list on the left, click Work with servers. </li>
<li>Select the server that you just created (for example, <tt>JKLTCMServer</tt>).
</li>
<li>Click <strong>Start</strong>. The message, "A request to start server 'JKLTCMServer'
has been submitted" will display at the bottom of your screen. It may take
a few minutes for the server to fully activate for the first time (click <strong>Refresh</strong> periodically
until you see the server listed as Active under the Status column). </li>
</ol>
<p>You have just created and started a triggered cache manager server that
uses the default configuration settings provided by IBM. Servers using the default configuration
settings are fully operational. IBM has established the following settings
for a default configuration: </p>
<ul><li>A host description named LOCALHOST is defined for IP address 127.0.0.1.
To view host descriptions, click <strong>Hosts</strong> in the list on the left.<p>IP
address 127.0.0.1 is the 'loopback' interface. The loopback interface is used
by many application servers to communicate with each other without using an
actual physical network. In this case, the triggered cache manage server uses
the loopback interface to communicate with a data source and potential cache
target applications that may be added to the configuration (see the section
titled <strong>Custom configuration</strong>, below, for details on how to add custom
configuration setting to the default configuration).</p>
</li>
<li>A data source description named LOCAL_HTTP is defined for a local HTTP
server. To view data source descriptions, click on <strong>Data sources</strong> in
the list on the left.<p>The local HTTP server is assumed to use the default
HTTP port (80) on the loopback interface (described previously). The triggered
cache manager server communicates with the local HTTP server over the loopback
interface to request Web pages it needs to send (or publish) to cache targets.</p>
</li>
<li>A cache target description named LOCAL_DIRECTORY is defined for the local
IFS (the iSeries Integrated File System). To view cache target descriptions,
click on <strong>Cache targets</strong> in the list on the left.<p>This description
specifies the root (/) directory by default. The triggered cache manager server
uses the local system's IFS as a cache target.</p>
</li>
<li>Two trigger handler descriptions are set, one named PUBLISH, and the other
named UPDATE_CACHE. To view trigger handler descriptions, click on <strong>Trigger
handlers</strong> in the list on the left.<p>Both descriptions are set to establish
trigger request handlers that manage the cache defined by LOCAL_DIRECTORY
using data obtained from the data source defined by LOCAL_HTTP. The trigger
request handler named UPDATE_CACHE simply updates cached items by copying
them from data source to cache target(s), whereas the trigger request handler
PUBLISH may be used to perform dependency parsing and page assembly prior
to sending updated items to cache. </p>
</li>
<li>An object dependency graph description named DEFAULT is defined for document
publishing. To view object dependency graph descriptions, click on <strong>Object
dependency graphs</strong> in the list on the left.<p>By default, the trigger request
handler PUBLISH (described previously) is set to use the object dependency
graph DEFAULT to record and query information pertaining to Web document dependency
parsing and page assembly. </p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Your application must send trigger messages to one of the request handlers
(either UPDATE_CACHE or PUBLISH). This type of application is referred to
as an application trigger. When the server receives a trigger message from
an application trigger, it places the request in queue for the specified request
handler and returns message code 1102 (indicating that the request was accepted).
The server then continues to process the request asynchronously. </p>
<p>Servers running with a default configuration may be used in conjunction
with application triggers and a local HTTP server (using port 80) to store
dynamically produced Web pages as static files in the local file system. An
HTTP server may then be used to serve these static files rather than the dynamically
produced files, while application triggers ensure the cache of static files
are updated only when necessary.</p>
