FIORI Cache Maintenance

Clear Cache Effectively in Fiori App Development

Cache management is an essential part of Fiori app development. It is crucial to follow these steps to ensure all critical changes are verified and avoid issues arising from stale data across different modules. Below is a structured guide to clear caches effectively in your SAP environment.

1. Clear the Server HTTP Cache

• Go to transaction SMICM
• Navigate to Goto → HTTP Plugin → Server Cache.
• Select Invalidate Locally and Invalidate Globally.

2. Clear Metadata Cache

• On the Gateway: Run transaction /n/IWFND/CACHE_CLEANUP to clear OData cache.

• On the Backend and Gateway: Run transaction /n/IWBEP/CACHE_CLEANUP for additional OData cache clearing.

3. Synchronize Chip Cache

• Run the report /UI2/CHIP_SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE using transaction SE38. 
• Execute the reports /UI2/DELETE_CACHE_AFTER_IMP and /UI2/DELETE_CACHE via SE38.

4. Run Calculation of SAPUI5 Application Index

• Execute the report /UI5/APP_INDEX_CALCULATE using transaction SE38. You can select different options here: Full calculation (very time consuming), calculation by period of time or calculation only for required SAPUI5 Repository.

5. Clear Local Browser Cache

• Manually clear the browser cache to prevent loading outdated views and resources, or utilize an integrated cache buster solution.

6. Clear UI2 Cache

• Run report /UI2/INVALIDATE_GLOBAL_CACHES using SE38. This step is essential, especially for verifying translations of tiles, groups, and catalogs in Launchpad admin.

P.S. Here's your turbo-charged guide for those consultants who sprint through SAP like pros, ready to zap stale data faster than you can say "cache cleared." Because, let's face it, yesterday’s data is so last week! 🏃‍💨📈

1. SMICM: Goto → HTTP Plugin → Server Cache → Invalidate Locally / Globally
2. /IWFND/CACHE_CLEANUP
3. /IWBEP/CACHE_CLEANUP
4. SE38: Run /UI2/CHIP_SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE
5. SE38: Run /UI2/DELETE_CACHE_AFTER_IMP
6. SE38: Run /UI2/DELETE_CACHE
7. SE38: Run /UI5/APP_INDEX_CALCULATE
8. Clear local browser cache manually or use a cache buster
9. SE38: Run /UI2/INVALIDATE_GLOBAL_CACHES

Ensure these cache maintenance techniques are applied whenever necessary to maintain effective application performance and data integrity. Following these steps will save time and prevent potential issues from arising in Fiori app development.
