Restart the application
You can restart the application by selecting the buttons in the System information section:
- Restart application– sends a request to restart the Xperience application. The application shuts down and starts up again if the hosting environment supports automatic application start. If not, the application remains stopped and inaccessible until it is manually launched.
- Restart all web farm servers – sends a restart request to all available web farm servers.
Clear the application cache
Select Clear cache in the Memory statistics section to remove all cached content from the application’s memory (server-side cache).
Optimize database size
Select Optimize database size to reclaim space from dropped variable-length (e.g., varchar(max)) database columns. Equivalent to running DBCC CLEANTABLE over the Xperience database. This can be a long-running operation depending on database size. You will be notified upon completion.
By default, Xperience by Kentico optimizes the database only during CI/CD restore operations. Use this action to run the operation when required. For example, after dropping variable-length columns with a larger number of records. Useful primarily in development enviroments.
