Adeptol On Demand CloudConnect Cache Overview
No Documents Uploading. Simply link to view documents in viewer
Starting Sept 28,2009 Adeptol is adding a new feature, Server Based Document Caching for CloudConnect users.
Adeptol On Demand CloudConnect technology enables you to link the documents on your servers to the viewer on our server and offers a unique experience for your customers. You remain in control of your documents on your servers and still make use of ease of setup as there is no installation involved. Simply connect to our servers in cloud and you are up and running.
This option is
perfect when you have lots of documents on your server and do not want to upload
them to an external
server and want to remain in control of your documents or when your documents
are frequently changing.
<cache>beta is the parameter which will cache the file on Adeptol Servers for quick viewing for your users (Default: cache=no)
cache by default is turned off and needs to be explicitly turned on for the documents by simply passing cache=yes
How does the cache feature of CloudConnect works?
Caching enables documents to be made
available in a temporary cache on Adeptol Servers. When next time request comes
in for same document, CloudConnect automatically looks in cache and serves it
from there, thus making it a much better and unique experience for your users.
How long is cache of a document
maintained on the servers?
The CloudConnect cache mechanism is a very
complex algorithm written by tech gurus of AJAX industry and uses various
factors to determine how long the document should be cached. These factors
include - type of document, content within the document, size of document and of
course the frequency & number of viewing requests received for the document.
What if my document cache
gets cleared for some reason and a request for document view is sent?
No problem. The cache will be restored
automatically at the view request. Your requests will continue getting served
without any issues or problems and users will not even come to know about it.
Can I forcefully refresh or
update the cache for a particular document or all documents under my account?
Sure, but you will need to buy personal license for that. A personal license of
CloudConnect offers advanced cache handling techniques among other things.
I do not want to cache my
documents at all. My documents are critical.
No problem, just pass cache=no or do not pass anything in the query string. By
default cache is turned off for all documents and you have to explicitly pass
cache=yes for document to be cached on Adeptol Servers.
I am an existing
CloudConnect user. How does this change affect me?
Your current requests will keep getting served as they are. No change is
required on your part, unless you want to make use of the caching feature. To
enable caching for a document, simply pass cache=yes with your request for
document view.
I passed cache=yes and my
document does not appear to have been cached.
Once you have passed cache=yes
document will be cached based on Adeptol's Caching Algorithm. Some documents
might get cached instantaneously and some might take some time. But be rest
assured all documents get cached and next requests for the document start
getting served from cache within 1 hour.
