Web parts get aggregated data

from the farm-cacheFarm Cache

3Roll-Up web part

How does this work?

The solution includes:• Aggregation Caching Rules List

Each rule in this list defines a query, scope of aggregation,

execution period and more.

• Farm-level Cache

The aggregation results are saved in the farm-level cache.

• Aggregation caching Job

This job executes the aggregation caching rules according

to their defined settings, and saves the results in the cache.

Step 1: Activate the Enterprise Aggregation Caching Farm Feature

Step 2: Configure the Aggregation Caching Rules list

In this page you create the Aggregation caching rules list.

Step 3: Create aggregation caching rules

Go to the aggregation caching rules list

Step 3: Create aggregation caching rules

Click to create a new aggregation caching rule

Select the type of lists that this rule aggregates

In this example we aggregate the Tasks lists in all the sites in

http://kwizcom web application

Type the url of a list view that will be used as the

query (aggregation) definition

Define the aggregation scope

Step 3: Create aggregation caching ruleskwizcom, 3

Configure the user account used to run the aggregation

You can further define the exact time frame in which the

aggregation should be executed

Once a rule is saved it is processed by the aggregation caching job.

You can see when that rule was executed last time, and how long it

took.

OK...so now what?

Use KWizCom’s List Aggregator web part to connect to the

Enterprise aggregation cache

Selecting an active caching rule connects the web part to that

rule’s cached results

In this example we display cached aggregation results from 17 site collections,

response time is less than 2 seconds!!
