The Rendition Manager tool removes unwanted renditions of versioned documents. A rendition is a copy of a document’s content in a format different than the original. Renditions, like the original content files, are stored in storage areas. Over time, unnecessary renditions from previous versions of documents can take up noticeable amounts of disk space.

The tools arguments define which renditions are removed. The tool can delete renditions based on their age, format, or source (client- or server-generated). The tool removes the content objects associated with unwanted renditions. The next execution of the Dmclean tool automatically removes the renditions orphaned content files (assuming that Dmclean’s clean_content argument is set to TRUE). The report generated by the tool lists the renditions targeted for removal.

The Rendition Manager tool is installed in the inactive state.
