Clearing the Remote Role Assignment Cache 
Content usage mode: remote role assignment Applies to: consumers
The functionality described in this topic is not available in an SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment system. End of the note. |
The Cache Lifetime setting in the Cache Management iView and the properties in the FederatedPortalCache service define the frequency at which the cache of remotely assigned roles is cleared automatically. For more information, see Configuring the Federated Portal Cache on the Consumer Portal).
This topic describes how to manually clear the cached roles that you have consumed through remote role assignment before their cache lifetime expectancy has been reached. For example, if you know that a producer has updated content you are consuming, you can clear the cache to ensure that all data changes are immediately updated on your consumer and that your users are working with the most up-to-date content.
Note
Clearing remotely assigned roles from the cache also affects certain remote delta link use cases:
If a content administrator on the consumer portal has made a change to an application property in a SAP transaction iView, the administrator should clear the cache manually before the cache lifetime expectancy has been reached, so that business users that run the iView with the most up-to-date values.
Remote content displayed in the NetWeaver Content Producers folder in the Portal Catalog enables you to create remote delta link content on the consumer portal. If you are having problems when viewing content in the NetWeaver Content Producers folder, such as content not updating itself or the Portal Catalog being empty after refreshing, you can use the Clear feature to solve the problem.
Caution
After you clear the cache, portal users may notice an initial increase in the time it takes for remotely assigned role content to be retrieved from the producer portal. As the cache is rebuilt on the consumer over time, runtime performance improves.
Users must restart any live portal sessions to receive the latest updates after clearing the cache.
