Synchronizing the Checkout Cache
Under normal conditions, you schedule the Checkout Cache to synchronize automatically.
However, Field Service personnel may ask you to perform this task manually or they may
perform the task themselves.
Checkout cache synchronization works as follows:
1 Each night, the library staff generates a list of item identifiers of checked-out material
from the LMS. The library staff transfers this checkout cache file to the C:\inetpub\
ftproot directory on the Application Server.
2 Checkout Cache Synchronization should be scheduled to occur after the checkout
cache file is transferred to the Application Server.
3 When the Checkout Cache synchronizes, the Application Server deletes its own, older
version of the checkout cache file, and uses the newly transferred file as its new
checkout cache file.
To manually synchronize the Checkout Cache:
1 If have not already done, transfer the latest checkout cache file from the LMS to the
Application Server.
