Completely rebuild all caches?

Hi Stefan,

I hope you're doing well.

It's possible to refresh/delete the entries in the various caches via the web services. You can use either the REST or SOAP API to accomplish a cache refresh.

Taking the filter cache as an example, you can do this in either of two ways:

For the REST API, use the endpoint /api/caches/FILTER with the authorisation headers YELLOWFIN, nonce, timestamp and access token.

For the SOAP API, an example .jsp is below, but it requires you to specify the particular filter ID:

<%      
/*          ws_flushcachedfilter.jsp                */
%>
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %>
<%@ page import="com.hof.util.*, java.util.*, java.text.*" %>
<%@ page import="com.hof.web.form.*" %>
<%@ page import="com.hof.mi.web.service.*" %>
  
    AdministrationServiceResponse rs = null;
    AdministrationServiceRequest rsr = new AdministrationServiceRequest();
    AdministrationServiceService ts = new AdministrationServiceServiceLocator("localhost", 8080, "/services/AdministrationService", false);
    AdministrationServiceSoapBindingStub rssbs = (AdministrationServiceSoapBindingStub) ts.getAdministrationService();
 
    rsr.setLoginId("admin@yellowfin.com.au");
    rsr.setPassword("test");
    rsr.setOrgId(new Integer(1));
    rsr.setFunction("FLUSHCACHEDFILTERCACHE");
     
    //Specify filter ID to flush its cache
    rsr.setParameters(new String[] {
            "12323"
    });
     
    rs = rssbs.remoteAdministrationCall(rsr);
 
    if ("SUCCESS".equals(rs.getStatusCode())) {
        out.write("Success </br>");
    } else {
        out.write(rs.getStatusCode());
        out.write(rs.toString());
    }

As the SOAP request seems to be more specific, you're probably better off using a combination of REST API calls to refresh all the available caches. The end point options available are:

GEO_PACK
VIEW_GEOMETRY
VIEW
REPORT
DASHBOARD_TAB
PERSON
TEXT_ENTITY
CATEGORY
DOCUMENT
FILTER

You can read more about cache management services for the REST API at this link and for the SOAP API on our Wiki page here.

I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Kind regards,

Chris

Hi Stefan,

I hope you're doing well. Just checking in to see if you have any more questions on this topic or need any additional assistance.

Let me know.

Kind regards,

Chris

Hi Chris,

Thank you for your information, that helps me.

I had hoped for an option via the AdminUI, but I probably don't need it that often after all. I'll put together a few calls and send them to the system

Have a nice weekend
;) Stefan

Hi Stefan,

I hope you had a good weekend.

No worries. I'll keep this open for a couple more days in case you have any questions from your results.

Kind regards,

Chris

Hi Stefan,

Just to let you know I'm closing this one off for now but we can always revisit it later if you have any more questions.

Kind regards,

Chris
