Introduction: Cache Management functions allow to reload cached data and other configuration settings while running the Docupace system (without a full restart of the system). |
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To fix performance issues - outdated cached data can cause conflicts or slowdowns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
To access the cache functions, open Administration (1) > Tools (2) > Cache Management (3).
The Cache Management page opens:
Audience: Admin Users, Business Analysts, Site-Reliability Engineers (SREs)

The following functions are available:
Clear Cache Key - enter a Cache Key to clear that specific data cache
| Warning |
|---|
Note: This function is retired, since there is no interface for obtaining the Cache Key for a site. |
Clear Configuration Cache - clears the entire Docupace Connect cache
Tip: Use this when changes are made to meta data, widgets, domain values, attribute sets, mappings, REST calls to Core, localization messages.
| Note |
|---|
Warning: This function is safe to be executed during production time, however it will impact the performance speed of the first users to use the system after the reset. |
Reload Meta & Security from Database - reloads the meta model and security settings
Tip: Use this when new attributes or domains are added, usually this is after a deployment.
| Note |
|---|
Warning: Use this function only during non-business hours as it can impact production processes. |
Reload Security Settings Only - reloads only the security settings (Note: Core reloads this automatically every 30 min.)
Tip: Use this when permissions are changed via the Security Manager.
