Refresh preferences

The Refresh site preferences allow you to refresh a cache to allow the system to immediately pick up changes that have been made to entries that might have the old information in cache. For example, if you change a user display name on the LDAP server or change the label of a property in Enterprise Manager, you can refresh the appropriate cache to make the changes effective immediately.

User display name cache

This cache stores the display names for users. The application keeps a mapping between the short name it receives (such as tjones) and the display name (such as Tom Jones). The number of names stored in cache is displayed.

Property name cache

The application looks up and caches the localized names for each property. The number of items stored in cache is displayed.

Class description cache

The application caches the class property description or choice list at the application level. Click Refresh class description cache to clear the application cache and pick up changes from the server. To also clear the session cache, you must log out from the application and log back in.

The following areas are affected:

Configuration files

If you have modified a configuration file, you can click Reload configuration files to reload all configuration files, which imports the new information.

CAUTION  Do not reload configuration files unless you are sure that you want to use the modifications. For example, a missing base web address for an expansion product could cause problems that are difficult to troubleshoot.

Application base URL

The Workplace base web addresses are used by application extensions to link to the respective application. Some examples are:

The base web address is initially set from the first web address request that the application receives after login (when the administrator sets the initial bootstrap preferences after installing the Application Engine).

You should update the base web address under these conditions:
