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 typical example of document conversion is generating a 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. This process consumes some CPU.
To prevent consuming more CPU than necessary, the documents are converted only when necessary ? the first time they are accessed or after a document is updated. In other cases, the file is retrieved from the cache.
The administrator can take control of these cached files and clean them by type or clean them all.
Cached files:
