Question : Manual Cache Invalidation

[senyordiaz]

Hi, i have questions about manual cache invalidation, are javascript in this link (https://community.adxstudio.com/products/adxstudio-portals/documentation/developers-guide/cache/cache-invalidation-utility/) to do manual cache invalidation still works in this new portal? it doesn't seem to be worked. When i customize portal such as add web form, entity form, or assign web role to the contact does not automatically reflected on the website. I need to reset IIS every time i did customization.

Please refer to the following documentation for Dynamics 365 portals which replaces the JavaScript bookmark approach you've referenced:

• Clear the server-side cache for a portal

Hi, the link that you gave me working fine, but if i try add HostName in IIS Site Bindings. The link didn't show, only show empty page like this

I want to try configure web notification, i read in the guide the url must be domain name

You have to be signed in as a portal administrator to see the clear cache button.

wow, it works, thanks. and about Web Notification, i already configured following document from Microsoft (Self-hosted_installation_guide_for_Portals.pdf). Already added a record in Web Notification URL entity, and check in the web.config too, in the handlers WebNotification.axd. It still not works, is there any other step required? or maybe the file WebNotification.axd, is that file need to be exist in the portal directory? because i think i don't find that file.

[amervitz]

There isn't a physical file for WebNotification.axd, rather it is an HTTP handler registered in the web.config in the path system.webServer/handlers.

Self-hosted_Installation_Guide_for_Portals.pdf is missing information on fully configuring the automatic invalidation process. In addition to creating a Web Notification URL record, there is a configuration needed for specifying the entities which will trigger the WebNotificationPlugin that sends the invalidation requests from the CRM to the Portal. This is done by opening the WebNotification solution, selecting the entities which the plugin will be registered on, moving them to the Send Notifications column, and clicking Save and Publish. This will register a plugin step on each of the selected entities.

I've created an Automatic Cache Invalidation wiki page with this information where we can manage additional information on this topic going forward.

thanks for the wiki information but when i opened the Web Notification Solution, nothing came up in Configuration, only show blank white page like this.

Try a different/newer web browser and see if that makes a difference.

You're right, when i use firefox it did ask username and password, but it cannot connect, pointing to servername. Finally i use dashboard to display the web notification web resource, it works.

Thanks all
