Function of Refresh Button in Web interface

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have created a web layout in which there is "REFRESH" button.

If i have opened the web layout and i simultaneously do some changes in back end from BW side. After clicking refresh in web interface changes are not reflected.

What exactly the function of "REFRESH" button is??

Also is there any other way through which i can get the changes( done in back end) reflected in my already logged in Web layouts??

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

Refresh button will submit values to the Plan buffer.

Lets say u have in your layout

a : 10

b: 20

total = a+ b

If you input values 10 and 20 and click refresh u get

total = 30.

regards

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

Can you clarify it more. Lets take an example. If i have one charachteristics for project say A and i have prepared a layout which is showing that projects attributes like project's begin date, end date, etc..

Now if i open the Web interface and at the same time if i change its end date from back end, on click of refresh the changes are not reflected...

But if i again open that Web interface changes are reflected. What is reason for this??

Any help appreciated.

I think you have to close the planning session and open it again to see the changes. The refresh button i guess only for the key figures calculations in the plan buffer.

Thanks for your response.

This means for master data refresh i will have to re open that session.

Is there any way to refresh my master data also?? Like doing some changes in BSP code or some thing like that??
