Clearing Orchestration Cache on the AIS Server

The AIS Server caches all orchestration files processed by the Orchestrator. If Orchestrator Studio users modify orchestration components that are currently in use, an administrator must clear the AIS Server cache for the modifications to take effect. Clearing the cache forces the AIS Server to reload files from disk to cache.

Note: Clearing the cache is not necessary to run new orchestration files.

You can clear the cache using either of the following methods:

  • Use the AIS Administration Service to clear the AIS Server cache (recommended). The AIS Administration Service is a REST service on the AIS Server that is exposed like any other service on the AIS Server.

  • Restart the AIS Server. This method is not recommended because:

    • If the Orchestrator is currently running an orchestration, it will result in invalid processing of that orchestration.

    • It results in server downtime, which might impact other applications that use the AIS Server.

Regardless of the method you use, Oracle recommends that you clear the cache only on an AIS Server instance used for developing and testing orchestrations. Either method clears the file cache for all orchestrations; you cannot clear the cache for individual orchestrations.
