Using Caché on Windows
Managing a Caché instance on the Microsoft Windows platform is straightforward. You can perform
most tasks using the System Management Portal and the Caché Cube. You can also control a Caché

• Caché Cube
• Starting Caché
• Stopping Caché
• Removing the Caché Cube from the System Tray
• Controlling Caché from the Command Prompt
This chapter refers to the Caché installation directory as install-dir — you can find the current default
directory in the Default Caché Installation Directory section of the Caché Installation Guide.
