# Flushing Server and Client Caches

A great deal of information in the user interface changes infrequently, including field labels, menu items, and drop-down lists. In order to avoid accessing the database every time this type of information is required by an end-user, the system maintains a cache of static information on the web server. Additionally, depending on how you set up the preferences on your Web browser, these items may also be cached in the browser.

After you make a change to a user interface item, such as a field label, you may need to flush the appropriate cache on the Web server as well as the client.

Note: For information about flushing caches on the Web server, refer to the Caching Overview section in the "Defining General Options" chapter of the Oracle Utilities Application Framework Administration documentation.
