Clean conversion cache
The application comes with an integrated file conversion cache.
The file conversion cache is stored in the file system, by default in the $TOMCAT/repository/cache folder.
A common example of document conversion is generating the thumbnail of each document shown in the default application user interface. For example, to get a thumbnail of a Microsoft Word document it is necessary to convert the first page into an image. During this process the application consumes some CPU.
To prevent it from consuming more CPU than necessary, the documents are converted only when necessary: the first time, or after a document update. In other cases, the file is retrieved from cached files.
The administrator can take control of these cached files and clean them by type or clean them all.
Cached files:
| Type | Description |
