Incremental Reads: Browsermon reads the history in incremental mode. This means that the reader maintains a cache file named
{reader}_cache, where a counter is stored for each profile indicating how many records have been read. On the next run, it reads only the records that come after the last read position. Browsermon also has an intelligent feature: if the user's history file has not been modified, it will not run the query. To maintain these incremental reads, you must preserve the cache file. Make sure that it is present; otherwise, duplicate records will be read each time. -
