ABSTRACT:
Techniques are described for caching data from a software system, such as an enterprise software system. The techniques may be applied to a computing device connected to the software system via a network. In one example, the cache comprises an elegant, file-based cache that includes an object store that stores the cached data and an allocation table that manages allocation of space in the object store. The caching techniques provide a robust storage system which preserves a previous copy of the allocation table while updating the current table. Moreover, cache management techniques are described that utilize an automatic collapse to keep cache file sizes to a minimum. When multiple software applications are executing on the computing device, the techniques allow concurrent access to the cache by the multiple software applications while maintaining the integrity of the stored data.
