This is a collaborative document to share lessons learned contents for SAP Fiori Cache Management topics in the
community SAP Fiori.
Please feel free to insert the link of your document or blog by selecting the edit button from Actions.
1. Challenges
After applying a support package or applying a note, clearing server side cache is required.
This document gives you an overview for understanding caches and the program names to clear caches manually.
2. Understanding the cache management
Caches are located in each layer (Client, Frontend Server and Backend Server)
3. Client
Browser - No action is required. Please setup the Cache Buster.
o If clearing caches is required, you can manually clear the browser cache.
Fiori Client - No action is required.
o When an app is updated on the server, Fiori Client automatically purges the existing cache and
pulls the update from the server.
o If clearing caches is required, you can manually clear the cache in the Setting -> Clear
Cache.http://help.sap.com/fiori-client
4. Frontend Server
Cache Buster
o Cache Buster for SAP Fiori - SAP Fiori Launchpad - SAP Library
ICM
o Transaction: SMICM Menu, Goto -> HTTP Plug-in -> Server Cache -> Invalidate Globally
o ICM Server Cache - Internet Communication Manager (ICM) - SAP NetWeaver - SAP Library
UI2
o Report: /UI2/INVALIDATE_GLOBAL_CACHES. This clears caches for Fiori launchpad and
other UI tools.
Metadata
o Transaction: /IWFND/CACHE_CLEANUP. This clears the OData metadata cache.
5. Backend Server
Matadata
o Transaction: /IWBEP/CACHE_CLEANUP. This clears the OData metadata cache.
There are various modules involved in Fiori development and we need to make sure that cache in all
these components have been cleared to avoid to any issues.
1. 1.Clear the server http cache
Go to the transaction SMICM. Goto -> HTTP plugin -> Server cache -> Invalidate Locally and Globally.
1. 2. Clear metadata cache
Transaction: /IWFND/CACHE_CLEANUP on Gateway (oData cache clearing)
Transaction: /IWBEP/CACHE_CLEANUP on Backend and Gateway (oData cache clearing)
1. 3. Synchronize chip cache
Run the report /UI2/CHIP_SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE. Make sure there is no error in the table
/UI2/CHIP_CHDR
Run the report /UI2/DELETE_CACHE_AFTER_IMP.
/UI2/DELETE_CACHE
1. 4. Run cache buster
Run the report /UI5/UPDATE_CACHEBUSTER.
1. 5. Clear local browser cache - to avoid views and resources being displayed from local browser
cache or else implement cache buster
1.6 UI2 Cache
Run report /UI2/INVALIDATE_GLOBAL_CACHES. This cache clearing is mandatory especially to
verify the translations integrated for ex tiles,groups,catalogs in Launchpad admin
1.7 Fiori client app is capable of handling local cache whenever new resources are available in the
server so no need of manual cache management implementation
Please make sure that you follow all above cache maintenance techniques wherever and whenever
required.
