Clearing the Cache

A particular list of values is cached the first time a user opens a list that uses the list of values. This feature improves performance by avoiding having to retrieve the list from the Siebel database when subsequently using the list. However, this feature also means that updates to a list of values do not appear in a list until you clear the cache. Clearing the cache instructs the application to read the updated values out of the Siebel 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 perform one of the following actions:

  • For either the Web Client or the Siebel Developer Web Client, clear the cache.

  • For the Siebel Developer Web Client, log out of the application and then log back in.

To clear the cache

  1. Navigate to the Administration - Data screen, then the List of Values view.

  2. In the List of Values list, click Clear Cache.
