Functions of the Local Host Cache (LHC) in Citrix IMA

Information This article contains information on functions, refreshing, and recreating of the Local Host Cache (LHC). Functions of the Local Host Cache Each XenApp server stores a subset of the data store in the LHC. The LHC performs two primary functions: Permits a server to function in the absence of a connection to the data store. Improves performance by caching information used by ICA Clients for enumeration and application resolution. The LHC is an Access database, Imalhc.mdb, stored by default in the <ProgramFiles>\Citrix\Independent Management Architecture folder. The following information is contained in the LHC: All servers in the farm, and […]
