Export Entries From Classification Cache

If necessary, you can export cache entries to .csv files for diagnostic purposes. For example, to diagnose problems with a particular classification you can import these files into a relational database. You can then perform custom queries on the data to identify documents with this classification.

CacheUtil exports entries to two .csv files:

identifiers_<timestamp>.csv

This file contains all content identifiers stored in the cache, plus a numerical key, the 'content modified' time, and the classification time.

classifications_<timestamp>.csv

This file contains the classifications for each content identifier in the cache.

Important! Export operations can adversely affect the classification cache performance. Also, export operations take a long time to complete on large classification caches. For these reasons, we strongly recommend that only run export operations during periods of low network activity.

To export cache entries

Go to the CCS \bin folder and run the following command:

CacheUtil -export [-page-size <n>] [-output <folder>]

Where:

-page-size <n>

(Optional) Specifies the batch size for entries retrieved from the cache.

If you omit this argument, CacheUtil retrieves data in batches of 1,000 cache entries. You do not normally need to set this argument. You only need to set this argument if instructed by CA technical staff.

-output <folder>

(Optional) Specifies the number of cache entries in each page of the exported .csv files.

If you omit this argument, the .csv files are saved to the current folder. By default, this folder is the \bin subfolder of the CCS installation folder.

Example

The following command sets the page size to 200 entries and stores the exported .csv files in C:\temp:

CacheUtil -export -page-size 200 -output "c:\temp"
