Invalidate Client Caches

Since the introduction of application-specific cache busting of SAPUI5 resources, you only need to run the program /UI2/INVALIDATE_CLIENT_CACHES in exceptional cases.

Prerequisites

To invalidate other users' caches, you need to have PFCG role SAP_UI2_ADMIN_700 assigned. For more information, see Authorizations.

Context

You only need to run this program in exceptional cases if you need to invalidate specific resources. These resources include data originating from OData service requests of the launchpad itself (not from SAP Fiori apps), like target mappings and personalization data, as well as a few very specific application resources that use the global cache buster token. For more information on the latter, see Cache Buster for SAP Fiori.

Procedure

Start transaction SE38.
Execute the program /UI2/INVALIDATE_CLIENT_CACHES.
Select the users for whom you want to invalidate the cache:

Option Description

For all users Invalidate the cache for all users (including the current user).

For user Invalidate the cache for a specific user by specifying a user name.
Choose .

Option	Description
For all users	Invalidate the cache for all users (including the current user).
For user	Invalidate the cache for a specific user by specifying a user name.

Results

The system invalidates the client caches.

Every cache invalidation is logged in the Application Log (transaction SLG1), using object /UI2/BE and subobject /UI2/CLEANUP_CACHES.
