Have been quite busy lately, so I apologize for not contributing as much.

That said, I have been working on an SLX 8 Implementation where Picklists get cached per Session within MemCache (Same Person from 2 different Computers login in as the Same User may experience 2 different results with Picklists).

So, after dealing with telnet for a while, I decided to write a quick tool that allows me to View the MemCache Stats and to Flush it.

If anyone is interested, you can download it from http://www.crmbi.com/CRMBI/Downloads/MemCache%20Utility.exe

  If you have any questions, Suggestions, etc, let me know.

Well, the Option is there, but:

a) I tried clicking on the  button and it doesn't appear to work

b) Is this a "per user" function? So, if I add a value to the Picklist (or a new picklist) I need to instruct all users to click on it.    In other words, I do a full deployment, IIS Reset, MemCache restart, yet picklists won't propagate.

This tool does nothing fancy. I placed 4 features on it: Ability to view the Stats, Memory Stats, Item stats and send a "flush_all" command.

For me, it is more convinient to launch my tool and clear the cache than trying to deal with each user and explain them how to "refresh" their picklist values.

Thanks for sharing Raúl!

There are actually multiple levels of caching on picklists.

Server Side - 

Standard Data Layer Caching via the Secondary Cache - OOTB this would be MemCached

Note, that the TTL on MemCached is 1 hour by default

Client Side - Browser Local Storage

This allows us to not make requests for picklist values.  The Tools/Options button clears this cache.

John:

  Did you stated that the Tools/Option button clears the Client Side Cache?

  And, does it use HTML 5 Local Storage instead of Cookies? (This may explain why clearing IE Cache had little impact on these values).

  That said, on my running with it, had 2 users logged into the same instance (with the same SLX UserCode). I had just executed a Full build and Deployment with an IIS reset before and after the reset.

  One user could not see a picklist, the other (me), could see it.

  I restarted IIS again, restarted MemCache and had the user clear out his browser. No luck, he still couldn't see this picklist.

  Now, to add some info, this was not a new picklist, it had been in place for 2 or 3 weeks.

  Since everything else had failed so far, I tetlnete into memcache and flushed it. After that, the uesr reloadthe page and thehc piilist

Correct, the button in Tools/Options clears "Local Storage" of Picklists and the traditional "clear cache" is not the same thing.  

I'll check the stories of "logging in as same user" and the caching algorithm.

Bottom line is that getting updated picklist values is an upside hill battle.

Flush_all  on memchac is probably not the best of options, but it is the one that works for me.
