Clear cache problem

Hi,
I'm using Apex 3.1 and I've created a branch on a page using the following url I found in the documentation:
f?p=6000:6003:&APP_SESSION.::NO:6003:MY_ITEM:1234
This should clear cache on page 6003 from app 6000, set MY_ITEM to 1234 and return to the same page.
Apex interpreted the link and put page 6003 in the clear cache box of the branch's properties. For now all sounds great, the only problem is, that it doesn't actually clear the cache. The url appears in the browser except for the page before the item setting, so it doesn't clear any page caches.
Is this a bug or is there an option I'm missing?
Thank you,
Marc

Marc,
Could you be a little more clear on what you are trying to do?
if you use the following url for example:
f?p=6000:6003:&APP_SESSION.::NO:6004,6014
this will take you to page 6003 in application 6000 and clear the cache for pages 6004 and 6014. if you are finding items with values populated, most likely that they are being set by some process after the cache has been cleared.
Also, how are you checking if the cache for the other pages have been cleared? Have you confirmed that you are not populating the items on these other pages as you are are navigating to that page?
Use the session link on the developer toolbar immediately after you make you original navigation to clear the cache to check the relevant pages - you should expect to see that they have been cleared in most cases (unless there is a process that is resetting the values)
Also, just to check/confirm - the syntax is page numbers as in 1,2,3 not P1,P2,P3

YouTube Movies Problems? Clear Cache & Cookies

When you hit a link to a YouTube movie on the iPhone, it will open the movie in mobile Safari. Movies wouldn't play and I got a black blank movie on the page with an error message saying that I needed to download Flash. This error message seems to be inaccurate. I fixed the problem by clearing cache and cookies in Settings/Safari. I don't know why that fixed it but not having Flash had nothing to do with why the movie wouldn't play - at least that's the way it appears to me. The error response from mobile Safari is just wrong. Note that the same movie played OK on the mobile YouTube app, but email links to YouTube don't call the YouTube mobile app
Also, Apple's mobile YouTube app "Sharing" function is limited and doesn't tap into the real power of YouTube sharing (Facebook, Twitter etc.). It only allows you to share by sending the link in an email. This makes for a lot of extra work to share a video to friends. Perhaps they'll expand the sharing function in a future update to the app.
It would also be nice in the future if you could set preferences for hyperlinks to call an app other than Safari - i.e. a link containing "YouTube" would call the mobile YouTube app, rather than Safari
Like I said, I don't know why clearing cache or clearing cookies fixed the problem, but it seems like a problem that could be fixed. The desktop Safari doesn't do this

I just noticed that YouTube links in email do open up the YouTube app. Prior to clearing cache and cookie the links were opening up Safari.

Using Firefox 7.0.1 & am trying to clear cache, because Firefox crashes during online college courses (Firefox 3.0 or higher is a supported school browser), and I keep getting an error message about 'Quick Time.' Using pc - Windows 7 Home 64 bit.

As soon as I open up Firefox - it crashes on me. It takes me at least two or three attempts. I downloaded Firefox from the Firefox website and also use it for Facebook. I am wondering if it is because I also alternate between using IE as well? While attempting to open my school e-text, a message popped up that if experiencing problems opening my e-text - then I should clear cache and cookies which I cannot do - because of the "Quick Time error message."

As you can see below, when I right click, I have no such option. In the User Account Settings, I'm operating as the "System Administrator".
Any other suggestions?

My Safari keeps crashing even after clearing cache/history/etc. Help?

I have tried resetting, clearing cache, and erasing the history. I'm not sure what is going on with my Safari. I did notice I kept getting those "Mackeeper" popups, but I never downloaded it or anything. Could this be the issue? I have looked through other threads and couldn't find a solution to the problem. Thanks!

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Back button no longer works in some specific situations; also, it appears that clearing cache isn't working.

The "back" button no longer works in certain specific situations on certain specific websites -- especially on the very website on which I need to use it very frequently. This has been going on for a couple of weeks.
Also, I noticed today that the "clear cache now" command doesn't seem to be working. Formerly, when I cleared the cache, I had to re-login to those websites that normally "remember" my login (because clearing the cache erased that "memory") -- but today, after using the "clear cache now" command, those websites still "remember" my login, which leads me to believe the cache didn't get cleared. Is there any other way to check whether it got cleared?
I was attempting to clear the cache in the faint hope that this might help the above "back" button problem, as no one has yet given me a solution for this that has worked. One person suggested having Firefox re-create the possibly damaged "places.sqlite" and "places.sqlite-journal" files. I tried this, but there was no change to the problem.
I think this problem started around the time I had a few Firefox crashes while using YouTube and doing something else on the computer at the same time.
I just today learned about the "crash signature" -- how to look it up, and to include it in a forum question. However, the crash log did not show these recent crashes, only some others from a few months ago. So, I'm unable to show the crash signature for this.
I'm guessing there's a chance that upgrading to a newer version of Firefox might fix this problem -- but I hesitate to do that, because it occurs to me that it also may be possible that changing the program before fixing this might make it harder to fix. I don't have enough knowledge of this software to know which is more likely, and I don't like to try things at random, in ignorance of the possible results. Also, after reading today several other forum comments from people who are unhappy with their Firefox upgrades, I hesitate to upgrade for that reason, also.

Same thing is happening to me. Adobe has not responded to anyone about this error. It appears that Abobe XI is not compatible with IE 11. I do not get this error when I use Chrome or Firefox. Only IE 11 does this. I have tried clearing cache and cookies.

Same thing is happening to me. Adobe has not responded to anyone about this error. It appears that Abobe XI is not compatible with IE 11. I do not get this error when I use Chrome or Firefox. Only IE 11 does this. I have tried clearing cache and cookies. I even uninstalled and re-installed IE 11. It is still doing it. I am surprized that a company like Adobe would just ignore our posts and leave us hanging this this.
Error message is FAILED TO GET DISPATCH FROM IBRWSR2. Then when you click on it the next error message says: PHTML IS NULL. You have to click this error message twice and then the PDF finally loads. Happened every time
Does anyone have a solution since Adobe will not respond?
As a last resort I will try uninstalling the Adobe Reader XI and install Adobe Reader 10 instead. It seems to work ok. But when I try to install version 10 the Adobe site tries to install XI. Any ideas?

How to clear cache for items after submitting the page ?

db11gxe , apex 4.0 , firefox 24 ,
hi all ,
i have a non enterable pop-up lov and a report in the same page , and i search with the pop-up item , but the problem is when i click the search button ,
the value in the pop-up is not deleted , and sure i want it cleared after i search ? how to do so ?
thanks

Surely, when you click the search button, the value in your item is required by the report (as a parameter).
Create a button (RESET) with a branch back to the same page and use the clear cache in the branch

Unable to clear cache in 3.6.10

Running 3.6.10 and not able to clear cache either manually or automatically. I don't know what else to do as I've done everything the help section says to clear the cache.
I was also unable to install Skype due to a cookie problem. I'm hesitant to reinstall Firefox due to all of my bookmarks.

Did you check that on the about:cache page?
* Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode
* You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed
Are the disk cache and the memory cache enabled?
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.cache.disk.enable
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.cache.memory.enable

Applications disabled after clearing caches, etc.

My computer had begun to run slowly, so I followed advice in these pages and installed and ran an application called Cocktail: I ran the daily, weekly and monthly service operations and cleared caches and logs. Now my computer runs much better, but two applications that I have had for some time no longer work. One is an RSS news reader called PluckyX, the other is CarbonErrors. In each case the application's icon has changed.
In the case of PluckyX, it now tries to open using Script Editor, resulting in error messages, and I cannot find any other application to open it with. PluckyX is no longer made and its creator cannot be contacted, but I downloaded another copy from VersionTracker, with the same negative result. I have not yet tried to find a new copy of CarbonErrors.
Can anyone please suggest a solution? It is PluckyX in particular that I should like to revive.

If you are updating Safari (or just have):
Input Managers and other plug-ins from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed 10.4.11 and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 uses Safari 3.0.4 which is not a beta. If Safari 3.0.4 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
Moreover, trying to revert to Safari 2 when running 10.4.11 can have repercussions, as Safari 3.0.4 uses a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail, Dashboard widgets etc also rely.
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Two such add-on that have been frequently mentioned here, among others, for causing such problems are Piclens and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them and go the developer's sites to see if new versions are available for Safari 3.0.4.
In your case PluckyX and Finale are the suspects.
You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11 or Leopard, that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2007-009.1.1, which also deals with the Quicktime/Flash issues you may have experienced, as well as the latest Java update.

Fire fox loads some websites and not others. Clearing cache and history doesn't help.

Fire fox loads some websites and not others. Pages that don't load in Firefox do load in other browsers. Clearing cache and history doesn't help.
One of the websites that doesn't load is google.com! It loads some of the page, just some menu items at the top of the page. Then, it hangs and remains in the Loading state (with the spinning wheel and "Loading" in the tab) indefinitely.
The problem started after 3.6.11 was installed. I'm on Mac OS 10.6.4.
I would be happy if you just showed me where I can download 3.6.10. Also, is there anything special I have to do if installing an older version?

I ended up going into the clear history settings and setting it to clear history when Firefox closes and chosing it to clear history and cooking and browsing history when Firefox closes. Now the links work fine and the last page I was looking at before I closed Firefox is no longer there when it opens again. Problem solved!

Caching problem in Chrome and Firefox

Hey folks,
I ran into a weird problem. I created a video player based on the Strobe Media Playback. I added a couple of plugins. This player is used to watch progressive download FLV files.
I ran into the following issue. I watch part of a video. I select another one. Then I select the previous one again. Only the cached portion of the first video is shown. The entire video will not be downloaded again from the server, but only the portion already cached on the client.
This problem is really bad in Chrome. When I restart FF, I can watch the entire video. Not in Chrome. The only way to solve this in Chrome is to clear the cache.
Any ideas?
The website is live, so you can test this yourselve. http://www.submergeproductions.com/videos.aspx
All help very welcome, because this is a major issue.
Follow up. I made a quick fix. I added a random number to the FLV url to force a redownload from the server, but this quite a dirty fix. I would rather have a restart/continuation of the download if the file was only partially downloaded.
Thanks,
Peter

Hi Silviu,
the reason why it works now is because I uploaded a modified version. I append "?<random number> to the URL. That prevents caching problems because the browser hasn't got the version cached. But I still report it as a bug.

Caching problem with Internet Explorer

Hi,
users of an ApEx application I'm working on are reporting that when they're deleting an uploaded file from one of the pages in the application (using Internet Explorer), the link to the file remains. This is however not an issue in FireFox, and after some research I found out that this is a caching problem in IE. It can be avoided by making IE check for newer versions of stored pages every time a page is visited, but it is clearly not an option to ask all our users to do this. I also learned that it can be fixed by randomizing the file URL every time the page is loaded, but I don't know how to randomize a URL, nor how to make it still point to the uploaded file.. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
-Kjetil

Kjetil,
This problem is also there if you use Flash Charts with a drilldown. See this posting:
http://www.deneskubicek.blogspot.com/
It will also link you to a corresponding thread and to an example in my demo application.
The idea with a random number changing you link is the same I used in extending my
xml chart package.

ADF cache problem

Hello,
I'm developing a web application with an ADF tree accessing to a Content DB repository. When I deploy the application and navigate to the tree everything look fine. The problem occurs, when the content of the repository changed outside of the web application (e.g. a file will be deleted with Oracle drive), the tree doesn't display the changes. The only way to get the right state of the tree, clear the browser cache and reload the page again. In my opinion it looks like a caching problem. Putting the following meta information in the html header also failed!
<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache"/>
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="0"/>
<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache"/>
Is there a possibility to disable the caching of such ADF components?
Hope you can help me!
Thanks,
Alex
