Web parts access the cache to quickly render cross-web site queries (instead of running these heavy queries in run-time)

Why did we build it?
SharePoint provides an API only for site-collection scoped queries
Trying to aggregate items across site collections requires running queries in real time:
Slow response time
Heavy load on the front-end servers
Performance degrades when amount of data/sites increases
Companies with multi-site collection deployments need a better way to aggregate and display information!

How does this work?

The solution includes:
Enterprise Aggregation Caching FeatureActivate this farm feature to enable aggregation caching in your farm.
Aggregation Caching Rules ListEach rule in this list defines a query, scope of aggregation, execution period and more.
CacheThe aggregation results are saved in the farm-level cache.
Aggregation caching JobThis job executes the aggregation caching rules according to their defined settings, and saves the results in the cache.

Step 1: Activate the Enterprise Aggregation Caching Farm Feature

Step 2: Configure the Aggregation Caching Rules list
In this page you create the Aggregation caching rules list.

Step 3: Create aggregation caching rules
Go to the aggregation caching rules list

Click to create a new aggregation caching rule

In this example we aggregate the Tasks lists in all the sites in http://kwizcom web application
Select the type of lists that this rule aggregates

Type the url of a list view that will be used as the query (aggregation) definition
Define the aggregation scope

kwizcom, 3
Configure the user account used to run the aggregation
You can further define the exact time frame in which the aggregation should be executed

Once a rule is saved it is processed by the aggregation caching job.
You can see when that rule was executed last time, and how long it took.

OK...so now what?

Use KWizCom’s List Aggregator web part to connect to the Enterprise aggregation cache
Selecting an active caching rule connects the web part to that rule’s cached results

In this example we display cached aggregation results from 17 site collections, response time is less than 2 seconds!!

Cache public API
With the enterprise aggregation cache feature, your developers can:
Create cache rules programmatically
Request manual cache rule updateprogrammatically
Get a DataTable with the cache results
Simply poll the cache rule status for display (icon, description)

Summary
Centrally-managed, Enterprise aggregation caching mechanism.
Reduce aggregation load from your front-end servers.
Provide your users with much faster aggregation tool.
Now you can run cross web application queries!
