Internal Console

Provides a cross-workflow-engine encrypted storage and non-encrypted caching of information. The total aggregate size of all cached objects cannot exceed 10MB per Pal. The per cached object size has a limit of 500K. Temporary storage has a one week limit. Long term storage has no limit.

Method Summary
String cacheFile(File file, String scope, int expireInSeconds)

Caches the file for the amount of time specified and restricts the access scope. Returns a file url that can be used in an audio or image tag for rendering the file. This is not a high performance and high scale method. It is meant to be used for displaying or streaming a single file to a single user or caching it short term for later processing.

int clearCache(int limit)
⚠Deprecated since 06-24-2021. No longer used. We now charge for cache storage and don't limit the size

Deletes up to 10,000 cache entries. This might take a long time to execute and may not clear all in one thread- consequently you should check the result and if it is the same as the limit, plan on calling it again.

Chunk createChunk(String chunkId)

Creates a chunk

  deleteCachedFile(String url)

Deletes the cached file, if any. See cacheFile()

  deleteChunk(String chunkId)

Deletes the chunk

  deleteItem(String key)

Deletes the information with the specified key.

String enableUpload(String type, int kilobytes, String address, int expire)

Enables short-lived target for a non-browser client to send a file and restricts the upload to type and maximum file size. type can be * (all types) or a comma delimited string of types. kilobytes cannot exceed the pal activation settings for max upload. The URL should be given to the client application for one time use. It is also used to retrieve the file by calling getCachedFile(String url)

String get(String key)

Returns the information with the specified key.

int getAvailable()
⚠Deprecated since 06-24-2021. No longer used. We now charge for cache storage and don't limit the size

Returns the amount of cache available.

int getCacheSize()
⚠Deprecated since 06-24-2021. No longer used. We now charge for cache storage and don't limit the size
