Deploy Providers

NCache allows you to deploy assemblies over the server for server-side features like Backing Source, Entry Processor, MapReduce, Cache Loader/Refresher, and Custom Dependency providers. Once the user deploys provider assemblies through the NCache Management Center or using Command Line tool from the specified path, the assemblies are also copied to the newly created folder named after the cache name in the deploy folder of the NCache installation directory. Similarly, Java-based providers can also be deployed using both the NCache Management Center and Command Line Tool.

Important

For .NET, before deploying your DLL files, ensure you have the appropriate .NET Version installed as discussed in the NCache Installation Guide.

Using the NCache Management Center

  • Launch the NCache Management Center by browsing to http://localhost:8251 or <server-ip>:8251 on Windows and Linux.

  • In the left navigation bar, click on Clustered Caches or Local Caches, based on the cache required.

Clustered Caches

  • Check the box against the cache on which assemblies are to be deployed.

  • Click on "..." against the cache and select Deploy Providers.

Clustered Cache Options NCache Web

  • NCache opens the File Explorer to let the user select the assemblies to be deployed.

  • The same assembly is now present in the newly created deploy folder in the NCache installation directory.

Using Command Line Tools

The Install NCacheModule cmdlet enables the user to deploy provider assemblies from the specified assembly path to the deployment folder named deploy in the NCache installation directory. You can also deploy jars through this cmdlet and if you specify a folder path, it will copy all its content to the deploy folder. This command deploys the assembly Provider.dll over a cache named demoCache.

Install-NCacheModule -CacheName demoCache -AssemblyPath "C:\Provider.dll"
