CloudConnect - Prizm Content Connect on Demand - Cache Overview

No document uploading, simply link documents to view them in the viewer.

The 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 the documents on your servers and gain access to a simplified setup, as there is no installation involved. Simply connect to our servers in the Cloud and you are up and running.

This product is perfect when you have a large number of documents on your server and you don't want to upload them to an external server, you 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 the 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. The next time requests arrive for the same document, CloudConnect automatically looks in cache and serves it from there, 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 the AJAX industry, and uses various factors to determine how long the document should be cached. These factors include the type of document, content within the document, the size of the document, and of course, the frequency and 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?
The cache will be restored automatically at the view request. Your requests will continue being served without any issues or problems.

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 a Commercial License for that. A CloudConnect Commercial License offers advanced cache handling techniques, plus many other features.

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 the CloudConnect Servers.

I am an existing CloudConnect user. How does this change affect me?
Your current requests will continue to be 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, the document will be cached based on the CloudConnect Caching Algorithm. Some documents might be cached instantaneously while others might take some time. All documents, passed with a cache=yes, will be cached and the subsequent requests for the same document will be served from cache within 1 hour.
