servercacheoption

View or set dynamic branch caching options to control the size of the Surround SCM Server cache, which can help reduce memory or performance issues.

Mainline branches are always cached when the Surround SCM Server starts. By default, baseline, snapshot, and workspace branches are set to Cache on Demand, which means they are cached when users perform actions that access a branch. When the Surround SCM Server starts, the most recently used Cache on Demand, or dynamic, branches as of the last server shutdown are cached. If these branch types are changed to Always Cache, they are always loaded when the server starts.

As additional branches are created, the cache may become too large, which can cause memory issues and slow server startup times. If this happens, you can adjust the caching server options to reduce the number of cached dynamic branches and set inactivity timeout limits for unloading inactive dynamic branches or changing inactive branches to Cache on Demand.
