Windchill System Administrator's Guide

Though the Central Cache Vault can be used as any normal vault for file storage,
you typically designate a different vault or the Windchill database for long term
file storage. In that case, files uploaded to the Central Cache Vault will be
revaulted to their designated storage location. The value of the property
wt.fv.uploadtocache.revaultOnCommit can be set true or false, with the following
results:
• true -- All documents modified during the transaction are added to the queue
(RevaultCacheQueue) for revaulting to their designated storage area upon
completion of the transaction
• false -- You must configure a Revaulting Schedule to periodically revault files
to their designated storage area. For more information see the section
“Managing Revaulting” later in this chapter.
If you are not setting properties through a graphical user interface or in a mapping
rules file, you add or edit properties with the xconfmanager utility, which is
discussed elsewhere in this guide.
Because a cache vault accumulates unreferenced files more quickly than other
vaults on a site, regular file cleanup is necessary. For more information on vault
cleanup see the section “Maintaining Your Vaults” later in this chapter.
A scheduler item created at startup will periodically execute to clean up
unreferenced database information. Two wt.properties control the timing of the
vault purging (default is daily) and the age of unreferenced items to be purged
(default is 30 days). You can modify the values of these properties to suit your
requirements. If you are not setting properties through a graphical user interface
or in a mapping rules file, you add or edit properties with the xconfmanager
utility, which is discussed elsewhere in this guide.
