Clearing the Cache


A particular list of values is cached the first time a user opens a drop-down list that uses the list of values. This improves performance by avoiding the need to retrieve the list from the database upon subsequent usage of the drop-down list. However, this also means that updates to a list of values will not show up in a drop-down list until you clear the cache. Clearing the cache instructs the Siebel application to read the updated values out of the database and display them.

Users who log in after you add or change a list of values can see the addition or change that you made. However, in order for you to see the changes that you made in real time, you must do one of the following:

To clear the cache (using the Clear Cache button)

  1. From the application-level menu, choose View > Site Map > Application Administration > List of Values.
  2. In the List of Values list, click Clear Cache.

To clear the cache (from thesrvrmgr command-line interface)

  1. Determine the current value of the parameter Object Manager Data Cache Version (alias OMDataCacheVersion) for the named subsystem Object Manager Cache (alias objmgrcache).
  2. Increment the value by 1.
  3. For information on listing and modifying named subsystem parameters using srvrmgr, see Siebel Server Administration Guide.
