How to Reload Cached System Data
- Inese Auzina
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To fix performance issues - outdated cached data can cause conflicts or slowdowns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)
