Fiori catalog/group caching issue...

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I came across something weird with Fiori and the way it caches things.  The answer to my problem was to run program /UI2/INVALIDATE_GLOBAL_CACHES.

This is what happened.  This was my first time creating Fiori content in a transportable environment.  My first mistake was not including "scope=CONF" in the url for the Fiori configuration.  So, I had created my custom group and catalogs but didn't have them in a transport.  So, I added the additional information to the url and had to recreate the group and catalog items in DEV.  When I did this, all of a sudden my tile had disappeared from the screen.  I ran every cache deleting program that I had access to, but none of them did anything for me. I had recreated my group and catalogs at least 3 times, fully deleting them each time and recreating from scratch.

My question is, should the program /UI2/INVALIDATE_GLOBAL_CACHES be put into a batch job and run every night or weekly, or is this something that we have to run after every time we create a change to groups and catalogs?  And in each subsequent system after transporting?

Hope this makes sense.

Cheers,

Kevin

Kevin,

I usually run program /UI2/CHIP_SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE to get the changes reflected. /UI2/INVALIDATE_GLOBAL_CACHES  might clear global cache as the name suggests.

Anyway, IMO it does not make sense to run these programs every night. Rather it can be a post transport movement activity in each system.

Hey Krishna,

Thanks for the advice.  I had run the chip sync program, but it didn't solve my problem.  Another thing that just happened to, was after my transport went to TST with changes that I had done to the group and catalogs, I had to re-add my tile to the group when I logged in as a test user, and this was after running the global cache invalidation program.  Weird to me!

Hi Kevin

Were you transport the configuration to, check in the catalog that you changed. At the top, appears a pencil. Click on it, to update the catalog.
