Application Server retrieves data from the InterAction database and stores it in a cache on the server. The data in this cache is then used when responding to requests. Application Server keeps the cache updated by refreshing it on a regular basis. You can also force a manual cache refresh if necessary.
When configuring the Web Client user interface, you frequently need to refresh the Application Server cache to see your changes. For example, if you create a new Web Client profile, it won’t be available in the Web Client until the next refresh. You can either wait for the next automatic refresh, or manually refresh the cache to see your changes right away.
To manually refresh the cache, enter the following in your browser:
http://[Application Server Host Name]/InterAction/reloadIACache
For example, if your Application Server host name is IAAppServer, the following address will refresh the cache:
http://IAAppServer/InterAction/reloadIACache
You may want to create a bookmark in your browser for this location to save time later.
For more information about the Application Server cache, see the Administering InterAction guide.
Note that you must be an Application Server administrative user to refresh the cache. For details about administrative users, see the Administering InterAction guide.
