Deleting Object Caches

You can purge (delete) all of the object caches for a project on both the Developer and Intelligence Server machines. However, this does not delete object caches on other Developer machines. You cannot select to delete only certain object caches; they are all deleted at the same time.

Even after purging object caches, reports and documents may continue to display cached data. This can occur because results may be cached at the report/document and element levels, in addition to at the object level. To ensure that a re-executed report or document displays the most recent data, purge all three caches. For instructions on purging result and element caches, see Managing Result Caches and Deleting All Element Caches.

To Delete All Object Caches for a Project

1. In Developer, log into a project. You must log in with a user account that has administrative privileges.
2. From the Administration menu, go to Projects > Project Configuration > Caching > Auxiliary Caches > Objects.
3. Click Purge Now.

Object caches are automatically purged whenever your schema is updated.

Configuration objects are cached at the server level. You can choose to delete these object caches as well.

To Delete All Configuration Object Caches for a Server

1. Log in to the project source.
2. From the Administration menu in Developer, go to Server > Purge Server Object Caches.

You cannot automatically schedule the purging of server object caches from within Developer. However, you can compose a Command Manager script to purge server object caches and schedule that script to execute at certain times. For a description of this process, see MicroStrategy Tech Note TN12270. For more information about Command Manager, see Automating Administrative Tasks with Command Manager.
