How to configure Caching algorithm for better performance in Hybris platform?

In local.properties file add/change the values of the following properties.

#Possible vales are FIFO(default), LRU and LFU. Default value is FIFO
cache.evictionpolicy=FIFO
#Possible vales are FIFO (default), LFU and LRU. Default value is FIFO
regioncache.entityregion.evictionpolicy=FIFO

#Possible vales are FIFO (default), LFU and LRU. Default value is FIFO
regioncache.typesystemregion.evictionpolicy=FIFO

#Possible vales are FIFO (default), LFU and LRU. Default value is FIFO
regioncache.querycacheregion.evictionpolicy=FIFO

Change the algorithm to either LFU or LRU based on your requirements for better performance.

How to disable all the cron jobs in Hybris platform

How to configure Hybris Server to use Oracle Data Base

The following steps can be followed to configure the Hybris server to use Oracle database.

Configure database user:

Login to Oracle database and create the required user and provide the grants.
create user <username> identified by <password> default tablespace <table space name> temporary tablespace <table space name>;
grant connect, resource to <username>;

Configure Hybris server

Copy the oracle driver (e.g. ojdbc6.jar) to /hybris/bin/platform/lib/dbdriver

Go to /hybris/config and edit local.properties by adding the following:
db.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:Username/password//servername:port-id/database name
db.driver=oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
db.username=xxxxxxx
db.password=xxxxxxx

Verify the configuration details and initialize

Access the Hybris server URL and check the following details:
                   a) Database Name displayed
                   b) User name Displayed
                   c) Database Driver Displayed.
                   d) Check for the default objects (e.g. product, cart etc) already selected.

Click on initialize button on the top of the page. It will take some time and initialize all the tables, table spaces and schemas required.

After successful completion of initialization the server gets automatically restarted, or else it will display errors which need to be rectified.
