Clearing the API Cache
At times, changing the metadata (removing old fields, creating new fields, changing a User profile) may lower the performance of the application or display errors due the API Cache referring to the old fields as they are unavailable. To avoid this from happening, you may need to clear the API Cache from time to time for better performance. You can clear the cache in two ways:
- Use the Clear API Cache button on the Storefront record
- Schedule a batch job
To clear API cache from the Storefront
-
Click the Clear API Cache button. The API Cache clearing process begins. An apex job is triggered to clear the cache records related to the selected storefront.
To schedule a batch job to delete cache records
-
In Apex Class, search and select DCClearCacheDispatcher.
This scheduled job executes every 24 hours looking for any profile changes in the last 24 hours and deletes any APICache records associated to those profiles.
