Clearing the cache
Help | Content Gateway | v8.5.x
When you clear the cache, you remove all data from the entire cache, which includes the data in the host database. Clear the cache before performing certain cache configuration tasks, such as partitioning.
 
* 
Note 
You cannot clear the cache when Content Gateway is running.
1.
Stop Content Gateway. See Starting and stopping Content Gateway on the command line.
2.
From the Content Gateway bin directory (/opt/WCG/bin), enter the following command to clear the cache:
content_gateway -Cclear
 
* 
Warning 
The clear command deletes all data in the object store and the host database. Content Gateway does not prompt you to confirm the deletion.
3.
Restart Content Gateway.
