Store value in cache

  • Artikkeli

APPLIES TO: All API Management tiers

The cache-store-value performs cache storage by key. The key can have an arbitrary string value and is typically provided using a policy expression.

Note

The operation of storing the value in cache performed by this policy is asynchronous. The stored value can be retrieved using Get value from cache policy. However, the stored value may not be immediately available for retrieval since the asynchronous operation that stores the value in cache may still be in progress.

Important

Built-in cache is volatile and is shared by all units in the same region in the same API Management service.

Note

Set the policy's elements and child elements in the order provided in the policy statement. Learn more about how to set or edit API Management policies.
