Increase in cache-context.xml or ehcache-custom.xml

[loftux]

I'm getting this error

14:13:41,584 WARN  [org.alfresco.repo.cache.TransactionalCache.org.alfresco.cache.contentDataTransactionalCache] Transactional update cache 'org.alfresco.cache.contentDataTransactionalCache' is full (1000).

I can find these bean names in cache-context.xml, and thus create a custom-cache-context.xml. But is it this one to edit to resolve errors above, or should cache changes always be done in ehcach-custom.xml as per http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Repository_Cache_Configuration

I am also looking to resolve this same issue.

Running Alfresco Community 3.4a on Windows 2008 R2 w/MySQL.

These are "warnings" rather than errors.

If you have lots of memory you could increase the size of the cache.  But not too big otherwise you will go slower!

Where can I increase cache size?
Can you you please provide some details?

I have 150K users sync-ed from AD and 8GB of memory on this server.
I'm seeng this error all the time

What would be a sane cache value (so it won't slow down alfresco)?

[leonk]

Is it here - alfresco/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/cache-context.xml ?
And again: any examples of sane values?

Looking for the solution as well..

Once i made that "1000" to "1200" and system started to behave really strage, some of transactions got stuck (2 or 3) were going in the circle.. Returned value to 1000, restarted tomcat, and that didn't happen again.

Any 'sane' values suggested to anyone on this?  I received the following when trying to use the 'bulk import' of 30+ MB zipped content into a web project.

16:52:09,342 User:admin WARN  [alfresco.cache.avmEntityTransactionalCache] Transactional update cache 'org.alfresco.cache.avmEntityTransactionalCache' is full (5000).
16:52:34,020 User:admin WARN  [alfresco.cache.propertyValueTransactionalCache] Transactional update cache 'org.alfresco.cache.propertyValueTransactionalCache' is full (1000).
16:52:44,371 User:admin WARN  [alfresco.cache.contentDataTransactionalCache] Transactional update cache 'org.alfresco.cache.contentDataTransactionalCache' is full (1000).

The default values are "sane"

[ybxdde]

So a person can just ignore these transactional cache full warnings and not modify the values? 

Also wondering if it is better to load large amounts of content into a web project via CIFS rather than bulk import?  Via bulk import an almost 300 MB zip file choked Alfresco….ended up having to kill the import and recycle Alfresco to clear.  Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Yes they are just warnings.

Yes you could use one of the file system protocols.  Or possibly split your big import file into a few smaller chunks.
