Webshere Commerce - Data Cache (Part 2) - Enabling and configuring distributedMap

 There are two ways to configure data cache

  Step By Step setup:

• Step 1: Click on Object Cache instances
  

• Step 2: Click New

• Step 3: Get the distributed Map you want configure (here)
• Step 4: Here i am setting properties for a single JVM . JNDI has to be services/cache/distributedMapName ( you will get that from Step 3)
  

Websphere Commerce Data Cache (Part 1) - Distribution Maps
