Cache Manager, CacheMGR as we will refer everywhere, is an application which exposes many options to manage tables on the server without visiting any Cache provided interfaces. CacheMGR can also be used as a DBU which provides many extended features to make browsing a pleasure. CacheMGR is intended for developers and/or end-user administrators.
