Question: service does not reflect new changes

[former_member193201]

My test gateway system has both iw_bep and iw_fnd installed (embedded scenario).

in SEGW, I create a model by importing RFC etc.

register service etc.

check service document, $metadata, etc.

All works as expected.

Problem:

I now create another model by importing from another RFC.

add a new entity set.

generate. etc.

check service document, $metadata, etc.

but my new entity set does _not_ show up.

Question:

What step, config, did I miss?

Thanks in advance for any hints!

I had to:

in /iwfnd/maint_service, unassign system alias, delete SICF node, delete service

in /iwbep/reg_model, create a new model, using the same model class

in /iwbep/reg_service, unassign the original model, assign the new model

in /iwfnd/maint_service, activate the same service.

Only now both of entity sets show up in service document, $metadata, etc.

Hi Mingzuo,

Did you clear the cache? The metadata is cached at three places.

1) in BEP

2) in FND

3) and in your browser

To clear cache in BEP execute transaction /IWBEP/CACHE_CLEANUP

To clear cache in FND execute transaction /IWFND/CACHE_CLEANUP

This should solve the problem. You dont have to repeat the service activation steps.

Thanks so much Chandan VA!
I tried once - Seems to work!
I will try these from now on whenever I make any changes.

Saves me quite a few clicks!

Just to add a little more detail on this for central hub deployments;

> To clear cache in BEP execute transaction /IWBEP/CACHE_CLEANUP

The IW_BEP cache should be cleared on the backend server

> To clear cache in FND execute transaction /IWFND/CACHE_CLEANUP

The IW_FND cache should be cleared on the gateway server

Note that the "Load Metadata" button in /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE will not work alone with hub deployments as it will simply call the backend server for the metadata which will retrieve it from the IW_BEP cache.
