The following sections describe procedures to refresh the Siebel Configurator cache with changes for customizable products, product classes, and attribute definitions. Refreshing the Siebel Configurator Cache with Product ChangesWhile editing a product record, a product administrator can select Refresh Product Cache to refresh the Siebel Configurator cache with changes for all the customizable products that contain the product. In other words, when a product administrator changes a product record, the product record can serve as a filter to selectively update the Siebel Configurator cache. The next time a user requests the customizable product, the user receives a freshly instantiated version reflecting the product change and the cache is refreshed with this version. For example, you could change the product description or part number and then refresh the cache. To refresh the cache with product changes
Refreshing the Siebel Configurator Cache with Product Class ChangesWhile editing a product class record, a product administrator can select Refresh Cache to refresh the customizable products in the Siebel Configurator cache that contain products from the product class. In other words, the product administrator can use a product class as a filter to selectively refresh customizable products in the cache. If you have a customizable product that is affected by the product class change in the Siebel Configurator cache, the changes are not propagated to the cached version of the product. The next user that requests the customizable product receives the cached version, which does not reflect the class changes. To make sure users receive the class changes immediately, select Refresh Cache. The next time a user requests the customizable product, the user receives a freshly instantiated version reflecting the product change and the cache is refreshed with this version. This new instance reflects the changes you made to the product class. To refresh the cache with class changes
