iServer Output Path

The output folder of SuperMap iServer is used to store dynamic caches when viewing maps. Meanwhile, if you want to view the maps which were precached, you should also put those pre-caches into this folder. The directory is [SuperMap iServer Installation]\webapps\iserver\output.

After the service starts, the server side will automatically create two folders: "cache" and "scene". The 2D caches are stored in the cache folder, and the 3D caches in the scene folder.

Users can customize the output directory. Steps are like this: 1. Open iserver-system.xml (this file is in [SuperMap iServer Installation]\webapps\iserver\WEB-INF); 2. Find the node <server> - <properties> - <outputPath>, and change the value in <outputPath>. For more information about this configuration file, please refer to Introduction to iServer Configuration File.

For instance, the default cache directory is:

<outputPath>../../webapps/{contextPath}/output/</outputPath>

It can be changed as D:\output_test:

<outputPath>D:\output_test\</outputPath>

After customizing the cache directory, you don't need to restart the service. SuperMap iServer will automatically output caches to this new cache directory. Besides, the name of the folder keeps the same (i.e., the cache folder).
