Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress Dynamics Administration

Caching toolbars and container menus at session startup

Dynamics usually extracts toolbar items and container menus when the container they belong to is extracted from the Repository. These items are then cached on the client and reused as necessary. This client caching mechanism caches the bands and actions against the respective toolbar or container. When the toolbars and menus for a new container are cached, Dynamics always extracts all bands and actions because the server cannot determine what information has already been cached on the client. Where the same bands are used across multiple toolbars or menus, this results in a duplication of work if a band has already been cached for another container. Caching toolbars and menus at session startup (toolbar and menu pre-caching) reduces this duplication of work by ensuring that any bands reused on multiple toolbars or containers are only processed once.
