Deletes an existing Globe Service layer's cache.
This is an unrecoverable operation so only use if you are sure you no longer need the cache.
Usage tips
-
This tool can be used to delete an existing globe server cache. To delete a cache, specify the Globe server host and select the Globe Server Object. The layers list will be populated with all available layers in the selected service.
-
By default all layers of the service are displayed and selected. If you intend to delete only a particular layers cache, make sure to unselect the ones you want to keep the cache for.
-
Delete Globe Server Cache tool can be helpful if you have many caches residing in your server cache directory and want to delete only a particular services cache.
-
Delete Globe Server Cache deletes the entire cache folder. Note that after Delete Globe Server Cache tool runs it will restart the server object. This will in turn generate a new set of caches for each layer in the service that was deleted by the delete operation. This is because all globe services will require a cache configuration to exist on disk to run. The cache that gets created automatically on start up of a service is a skeleton representation that does not contain any tiles.
-
This tool does not accept any Environment Setting that have been specified.
