Using the Refresh Rate 

Use

The Easy Graphics Framework (EGF) uses a refresh rate to refresh the data sent by a service provider for an EGF object.

Features

The default refresh rate is set to one minute.

The refresh rate is located at EGF object level. The EGF checks to see whether a refresh is required for the first cell in the grid, for example. If this is the case, the EGF calls the service provider and waits for its response. If the service provider only responds after 10 minutes, the EFG only checks after 10 minutes whether a refresh is required for the second cell in the grid.

If you are using the EGF for planning purposes or for forecasts, you can deactivate the refresh rate. This enables you to display trends, such as a trend for the coming year, or forecasts, such as daily resource requirements for a warehouse task.

Activities

You deactivate the refresh rate by setting the refresh rate value to zero either in Customizing for the EGF for the object, or in the context menu for the object at runtime.

You can define the refresh rate for each EGF object.

You can change the refresh rate at runtime.

You can refresh an EGF object that you are displaying as a graphic immediately by choosing the option Refresh Display in the context menu for the object. You can also refresh all displayed objects by choosing Refresh Data in the SAP GUI.
