Introduction
With the advent of Browser as the front end, as discussed earlier, a stateless connection exists
between the client and the T24 server. Hence, every unnecessary request to T24 should be cut down
to enhance performance. For this purpose, in T24 the actions performed by the user will be cached in
a file called F.OS.XML.CACHE. When ever an action is performed for the first time, information about
the action will be stored in the F.OS.XML.CACHE file. When a user performs a similar action later, the
cached information will be retrieved from the F.OS.XML.CACHE file. This caching mechanism helps in
improving the performance to a larger extent.

The desktop routines start generally with S. and the browser routines start with OS. We will discuss
some of the browser routines which help in caching data.

While signing on to T24, the T24 routine OS.USE.CACHE will be called. This routine will create a
record in F.OS.XML.CACHE with the id as ‘USER.PROFILE_USER ID’. If the user id is ‘INPUTTER’
then F.OS.XML.CACHE.ID will be ‘USER.PROFILE_INPUTTER’.

with the id as Menu_1_1.

Record creation in F.OS.XML.CACHE:

When a new application is launched, the context enquiry for that application will be loaded in the
F.OS.XML.CACHE file with the id as ‘CONTEXT.ENQUIRY_APPLICATION_1’. Say for example when
a customer application is launched a record will be created in F.OS.XML.CACHE with the id as
‘CONTEXT.ENQUIRY_CUSTOMER_1’

When a new deal button is clicked in an application, the T24 routine OS.NEW.DEAL will be called.
OS.NEW.DEAL in turn will call OS.USE.CACHE to create a record in F.OS.XML.CACHE with the id as
NEWDEAL_APPLICATION_1. When a new deal button is clicked in a CUSTOMER application, a
record will be created with the id as NEWDEAL_CUSTOMER_1

Record deletion in F.OS.XML.CACHE:

If the user changes a CONTEXT.ENQUIRY record whose id is an APPLICATION name, then on

authorizing a CONTEXT.ENQUIRY record, OS.USE.CACHE will be called from the
BEFORE.AUTH.WRITE paragraph with delete option.

If a CONTEXT.ENQUIRY record with the id as CUSTOMER is changed, then the following records will
be deleted from the cache (F.OS.XML.CACHE)

CONTEXT.ENQUIRY_CUSTOMER_1
NEWDEAL_CUSTOMER_1
CONTEXT.ENQUIRY_CUSTOMER,VERSION_1
NEWDEAL_CUSTOMER,VERSION_1
