Azure LocalCache not setting the Ready environment variable on ASE

Question

I have moved my WebApp to the Azure App Service Environment and have enabled the new LocalCache option as documented at https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/app-service-local-cache/

However, the environment variable that is supposed to tell you that the cache is ready does not exist.

If I use Kudo and go to Process Explorer, Click on properties for the w3wp (without the scm label) process, then click on Environment Variables the only variables I see are:

WEBSITE_LOCAL_CACHE_OPTION  Always
APPSETTING_WEBSITE_LOCAL_CACHE_OPTION   Always
WEBSITE_LOCAL_CACHE_SIZEINMB    1000
APPSETTING_WEBSITE_LOCAL_CACHE_SIZEINMB 1000
WEBSITE_LOCALCACHE_ENABLED  True

But not the one I need:

WEBSITE_LOCALCACHE_READY

I am stuck as to what is happening; can anyone give any ideas for me to try?

Answer 1

Local Cache is a feature which is not currently enabled in App Service Environment.
