What is ICM server cache in SAP BC-CST-IC - Internet Communication Manager?

SAP Term: ICM server cache

• Component: BC-CST-IC

• Component Name: Internet Communication Manager

• Description: Cache for SAP Web Application Server response pages. The HTTP request handler uses the ICM server cache to store and access frequently requested response pages, such as the main page of an online store. The first time a URL is called, the cache stores the page in question before it is sent to the client. When the URL is next called, the page is then sent directly from the cache provided that the page has not exceeded its expiry time. The taskhandler and the ICF do not need to be called. Objects in the MIME repository are stored in the cache by default.
