Each time a pipeline configuration is loaded, a pipeline configuration file (.pcf) is read from disk. The ConfigurationCacheHelper object enables the pipeline to cache the pipeline configuration file in memory for any subsequent load operation, helping to reduce the performance penalty associated with disk access.
The ConfigurationCacheHelper object supports the following methods.
| Property | Description |
| DeleteCacheEntry | Deletes the configuration specified by the token from cache memory. |
| LoadFromCache | Retrieves a pipeline configuration previously saved in memory and loads this configuration into the specified pipeline. |
| SaveToCache | Saves in memory the configuration used by the specified pipeline, and returns a unique token that can be used later to retrieve the cached configuration. |
