Type: Setting
Description: This setting determines if containers in the XPS memory cache should be deleted. When you update a vessel visit’s phase to Closed, delete a container, or merge a To be determined (TBD) unit with the actual unit, N4 sends an update to XPS to delete those containers and TBDs. XPS persists the containers in the XPS memory cache for reuse. If the containers are not reused, the containers remain in the XPS memory cache causing increased memory usage. With SYSFCM set to the default value of Y, containers in the XPS memory cache are deleted at periodic intervals, freeing the used memory back to the operating system. When you set SYSFCM to N, the containers in the XPS memory cache are not freed.

SYSFCI (on page 1) determines the frequency in minutes for purging containers in the XPS memory cache that are marked for deletion. The default value is 15 minutes.
SYSFCL (on page 1) enables debug logging related to container memory management. XPS by default creates the folders and the log files in the respective folders, but creates the log files only if SYSFCL is turned on. Navis N4 developers use the logs to help with the development and debugging process.
For more information, see Delete containers in the XPS memory cache (on page 1).
