The Clear Cache command refreshes the state of the WebFOCUS application by applying saved changes that are not applied dynamically. Even though some changes are dynamic or only require an administrative user to clear the cache to take effect, others require an administrative user to recycle the web application. This activity also clears any data values stored in the Data Values Cache, the Meta Data Cache and the Server Configuration Cache.
The Clear Cache activity also terminates any active searches by closing the existing index readers and index searchers and saves any changes to the Magnify Search interface that were made by updating values in the collections.xml file and style sheet files. However, this activity does not close active index writers, nor does it remove existing search results.
