Clearing The Edge Server Cache - MACROMEDIA FLASH MEDIA SERVER 2-USING FLASH MEDIA SERVER EDGE SERVERS Use Manual

Clearing the edge server cache

Macromedia recommends that you create a weekly scheduled task to clear the edge server
cache.
To create a scheduled cache clearance:
1.
Create a cache.bat file to empty the cache directory.
The entry in the cache.bat file has the following syntax:
del /Q /S <cache_directory>\*.*
2. Run the cache.bat file and verify that it deletes files in the cache directory.
Note that the directory structure remains; this is an expected behavior.
Any files currently locked by the edge server are not deleted; this is also an expected
behavior.
3.
Select Control Panel > Scheduled Tasks > Add Scheduled Task.
4.
Select cache.bat as the new file to run.
Macromedia recommends that you schedule the task to run weekly during off hours, such
as early Sunday morning.
Replicate this procedure on each edge server.
