Overview

When you make changes to the Docupace site configuration via the Docupace Connect UI, Docupace Core automatically reloads all data in the corresponding cache. You only need to use the Cache Management functions when changing the database on the backend. Typically, Site-Reliability Engineers (SREs) make such changes.

Definition: A cache is a temporary storage area on the server side that keeps frequently used data in a faster, more accessible place.

Caches should be cleared periodically for several reasons:

  • To free up space - caches can accumulate a lot of unnecessary data over time

  • To fix performance issues - outdated cached data can cause conflicts or slowdowns

  • To force updates - reloading configuration ensures that the system will use recently updated settings

Audience: Admin Users, Business Analysts, Site-Reliability Engineers (SREs)

The following functions are available:

  1. Clear Cache Key - enter a Cache Key to clear that specific data cache

  2. Clear Configuration Cache - clears the entire Docupace Connect cache

Tip

Tip: Use this when changes are made to meta data, widgets, domain values, attribute sets, mappings, REST calls to Core, localization messages.

  1. Reload Mode & Security from Database - reloads the meta model and security settings

Tip

Tip: Use this when new attributes or domains are added.

  1. Reload Security Settings Only - reloads only the security settings (Note: Core reloads this automatically every 30 min.)

Tip

Tip: Use this when permissions are changed via the Security Manager.

  1. Reload Form Fields Meta - clears cached forms meta

Tip

Tip: Use this when changes are made to forms, form fields meta, form fields groups, m2m mappings, etc.

  1. Reload Workflow Meta - clears the cached configuration of the workflow

Tip

Tip: Use this when changes are made to transition actions, validations, meta tasks, or other workflow elements.

  1. Reload Cors Filter Settings - reloads configuration of the CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) filter

Tip

Tip: Docupace Core has a domain that allows you to configure CORS, but it is part of the site’s configuration data in Connect.

  1. Reload Properties - reloads site settings that are stored in the properties files

Note

Important: Not all properties can be reloaded using this button. You must restart the site to reload properties that are read when Docupace Core starts up.
