Location of Element Caches

Strategy is retiring legacy administration tools in phases as capabilities move to Workstation, now available in the browser.

Element caches are stored only in memory and are not saved to disk. They can exist on both Intelligence Server and Developer machines.

When a Developer user triggers an element request, the cache within the Developer machine's memory is checked first. If it is not there, the Intelligence Server memory is checked. If it is not there, the results are retrieved from the data warehouse. Each option is successively slower than the previous one, for example, the response time could be 1 second for Developer, 2 seconds for Intelligence Server, and 20 seconds for the data warehouse.
