Metadata not updating after change in behavior projection extension

[bwal]

Hello,

I am working on an extension for the Manage Sales Order Version 2 (F3893). I have added an action to an extension of the SalesOrderItem entity behavior and the metadata extension (the button itself). Now I would like to remove an action (I added a second one for testing purposes). I've removed it from the behavior extension and from the metadata extension. Now when I navigate to the item page I get the error "Property <my action name> not found". I've checked the metadata from the browser and the action still appears there. I checked the metadata at the /IWFND/V4_ADMIN transaction and the action does not appear in the metadata that I view from there. I will write a comment with the various things I've tried.

All the best,

Ben

I've tried clearing the cache with:
/IWFND/V4_ADMIN, /UI2/INVALIDATE_GLOBAL_CACHES, /UI2/INVALIDATE_CLIENT_CACHES, /IWFND/CACHE_CLEANUP, /IWBEP/CACHE_CLEANUP and from the GW client /IWFND/GW_CLIENT
I've also cleared the cache of my browser and tried running the application on Chrome, Firefox and Edge, same results.

Some tips would be appreciated.

It seems that the system needed a weekend to relax, now the updated metadata is appearing. But this isn't very practical, a solution that would allow to see the changes immediately would be welcome.

Hi,

I thought this information could be useful for others in the future. The issue was in the solution was deactivating the metadata in SPRO in:

Navigation: ABAP Platform -> SAP Gateway -> OData Channel -> Administration -> Cache Settings -> Activate or Deactivate Cache in ABAP Platform -> SAP Gateway -> OData Channel -> Administration -> Cache Settings -> Activate or Deactivate cache

and deactivating the job /UI5/UPD_ODATA_METADATA_CACHE
