Clean conversion cache

The application comes with an integrated file conversion cache.

Note

The file conversion cache is stored in the file system, by default in $TOMCAT/repository/cache folder.

A classical 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 nessesary to convert the first page into an image. The application consumes some CPU for this process.

To ensure this process does not consume more CPU than needed, the documents are converted only when it’s necessary, upon upload, or after an update. In all other cases the file is retrieved from cached files.

Tip

The administrator can take control of these cached files and clean by type or all.

Cached files:

Type	Description
DXF	Caused by autocad pre-visualization conversion.
PDF	Several causes: - Document pre-visualization. - User conversion by demand.
SWF	Document pre-visualization.
Thumbnail properties	Document thumbnail in application desktop view.
Thumbnail Search	Document thumbnail in application search view.
Thumbnail Lightbox	Document thumbnail in lightbox.
