Manage Process Server caches and databases
The Process Server caches and databases normally run efficiently and without issues. However, there may be cases where particular problems come up that require you to use the utilities discussed in this section.
Before performing any of the tasks in the following sections, go to the Process Admin console and log in as instructed in Access the Process Admin console.
Reset Process Server caches
For performance reasons, Lombardi caches some information on the Process Server. The caches for Lombardi refresh automatically and so resetting these caches should only be required when an issue exists that a reset might rectify.
To control the frequency of cache refresh, use the cache-refresh-interval setting in the [Lombardi_home]\process-server\config\system\00Static.xml properties file.
You can use the Manage Caches page in the Process Admin console to view all caches and their status, as well as reset each cache. In addition to the name of the cache and a brief description, the Manage Caches page displays the following information for each cache on the Process Server:
CA Cache Access Shows the number of times the cache was refreshed and accessed. UCA Unrefreshed Cache Access Shows the number of times the cache was accessed but not refreshed. UCP Unrefreshed Cache Percentage Shows the percentage of uncached access versus cached access for this cache. Last A. Last Accessed Shows the most recent access. Status Status Shows whether the cache is on or off. Actions Actions Allows you to show or reset the cache. To use the Manage Caches page:
- In the Server Admin area of the Process Admin console, click the indicator next to Lombardi Admin to list the available administrative options.
Click the Manage Caches option.
The Manage Caches page displays the information preceding table for each cache on the Process Server.
In the Actions column, click one of the following options:
Show To view a cache in a separate browser window. Reset To reset a cache. - At any time, you can click the Refresh button to ensure you are viewing the most recent data available.
Delete tasks from the Process Server database
To reduce the amount of space Lombardi uses, administrators can use the Task Cleanup utility in the Process Admin console to delete tasks from the Lombardi task database. The Cleanup Task utility enables administrators to easily remove:
- Tasks that end users have deleted from their task list
- Tasks that reside in users' SENT or CLOSED folders
- Attachments for deleted or orphaned tasks
To use the Task Cleanup utility:
- In the Server Admin area of the Process Admin console, click the indicator next to Lombardi Admin to list the available administrative options.
- Click the Task Cleanup option.
Select the option that you want:
Clean up attachments that are associated with deleted tasks or that have been orphaned This option removes only attachments and not tasks. Clean up tasks and attachments where every user in the history tree has deleted the task from their task list This option removes tasks and attachments. Clean up tasks and attachments where every user in the history tree has deleted the task from their task list or the task resides in the user's SENT folder This option removes tasks and attachments. Clean up tasks and attachments where every user in the history tree has deleted the task from their task list or the task resides in either the users' SENT or CLOSED folders This option removes tasks and attachments. - Under Current Counts, note how many tasks and attachments currently exist in the database per the option you choose.
- Click the Cleanup button.
- Under After Cleanup Counts, you can see how many tasks and attachments were deleted.
