Execute the Administration Tasks

Before using the optimized cart-based APIs, run these administrations tasks in your org.

Navigate to Vlocity CMT Administration and run these jobs.

  1. From the App Launcher, find and select Vlocity CMT Administration.
  2. Maintenance job: Field Maps Maintenance. This job populates the mappings and pricing plan meta data.
  3. EPC job: Generate EPC Compile data. This job initializes the cache data.
    Starting in Winter '24, for Standard Cart APIs, you can select price lists and compile data for products specific to those price lists.
    • On the EPC Jobs page, click Start next to GENERATE COMPILE DATA. From the Price List dropdown list, select the price lists, and then click Apply.

NOTE: From Winter'25 you can enable incremental caching. See Enable incremental caching.
You need to execute the following step only after completing the above step 3 at least once.

To enable incremental caching, perform these steps.

  1. From Setup, enter Custom Settings in the Quick Find box, select Custom Settings, then select Trigger Setup.
  2. Click Manage. Click New.
  3. Select StandardIncrementalCache. Ensure that Trigger On checkbox is selected.

To leverage incremental caching, you need to activate a new trigger named StandardIncrementalCache. This trigger has following functionality.

  • Change Data Capture: Enables the capture of changes made to EPC data, providing the foundation for identifying updates during incremental refreshes.

  • Job Execution Control: Controls the ability to run the incremental caching jobs themselves.

    Upgrading to Winter'25 does not automatically enable change data capture or job execution. You need to enable the StandardIncrementalCache trigger following the steps mentioned above. You can initiate data change capture and subsequently run the incremental caching jobs. This provides granular control over when change data is captured and how the jobs are utilized.
