Clean conversion cache

The application comes with an integrated file conversion cache. 

Note

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 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 to an image. This process consumes some CPU.

To prevent 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 the cache.

Tip

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

Cached files:

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

Caution

The operation can take a few seconds or minutes depending on the number of files to be removed from the file system.
