Clear the Name Cache of a Project

Scenario 1
You are working in distribution and you have synced the distribution data on the local system with the partner system after changing the details for Partner system, for example system information (System ID or System name). In this case you need to manually clean the cache on the Partner system in distribution.

Scenario 2
On Client/FEP linked to a Server project when any of the following is changed:

  • Whenever a partner system is removed from distribution-setup.
  • On changing the distribution connections for the partner system from the local system so that the local system cannot see the partner system. For example, you change the distribution connection from P1 P2 to P1 P2.
  • When you manually change the system information (system-name, system-id) of the partner system entry in the Distribution Participants expander.
  • Whenever you disable the distribution for a project.

Perform the following steps:

  • The status is Stopped for a distribution-enabled project for which you want to clear the cache.
