# Switch from the Infinispan cache framework

If you already use the Memcached cache framework in your organization and would like to hook it up to the Pentaho Analyzer OLAP engine, follow the directions below to switch from the default Infinispan cache framework configuration.

**Note:** Pentaho and Mondrian developers recommend against using Memcached. You are almost certain to have better performance with Infinispan.

Perform the following steps to switch from Infinispan to Memcached:

1. If the Pentaho Server or standalone Mondrian engine are running, shut them down now.
2. Verify the required JARs are present in the `/WEB-INF/lib/` directory inside of your deployed `pentaho.war` or Mondrian engine.

   If you performed a default install of the Pentaho Analysis Enterprise Edition package, then you should have all of the required JARs installed to the Pentaho or Mondrian Server. If you are not sure, the required JARs are:

   * `pentaho-analysis-ee`
   * `commons-lang`
   * `commons-io`
   * `commons-codec`
   * `pentaho-ee-dsc-core`
   * `memcached`
3. Edit the `pentaho-analysis-config.xml` in the `/WEB-INF/classes/` directory inside the deployed `pentaho.war` or Mondrian engine, and change the value of `SEGMENT_CACHE_IMPL` to match the class name referenced below:

   ```
   <entry key="SEGMENT_CACHE_IMPL">com.pentaho.​analysis.segmentcache.​impl.memcached.​MemcachedSegmentCache</entry>
   ```
4. Edit the `memcached-config.xml` in the `/WEB-INF/classes/` directory inside the deployed `pentaho.war` or Mondrian engine, and change the values of `SALT`, `SERVERS`, and `WEIGHT` to match your preference:

   ```
   <entry key="SALT">YOUR SECRET SALT VALUE HERE</entry>
   <entry key="SERVERS">192.168.0.1:1642,192.168.0.2:1642</entry>
   <entry key="WEIGHTS">1,1</entry>
   ```

Your Pentaho Analysis Enterprise Edition instance is now configured to use Memcached for OLAP segment caching.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.pentaho.com/install/10.2-install/multidimensional-data-modeling-in-pentaho/mondrian-cache-control/switch-to-memcached-cp/switch-from-the-infinispan-cache-framework.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
