Page cache is clearing when it shouldn't

I have 2 pages which are like a wizard, you can hit "next" and "previous" to travel between them. They would both hold data, and the second page would have a submit button where data would be pulled from P8 and P9 together.
Now for some reason, when switching from one page to another the cache is cleared on most of the items... some retain their typed in values. These are Text areas... the page is not SET to clear. The only change I made was added a file browse item to P8. I tried reseting the file browse to different items and nothing changed.
Anyone have any clue what is going on?? Why would this just start doing this?

this is the debug where it's pulling the data out from session.

Cache not cleared when branching to a page with before-header branch?

I tried to make up and example in apex.oracle com.
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=20469:112
Assign some value to items and experiment the with the buttons.
The first button:
Action: Redirect to Page in this application
Page: 112
Clear Cache: APP
Set These Items: P112_TEST_ITEM_1
With these values: 1
The second button is identical to the first except that the page it branches to is 113 instead of 112.
Page 113 has nothing more on it than a Before Header branch branching back to page 112.
Its seems a bit inconsistent that assigning values to the items survives with the before_header branch - but clearing them does not.

Welcome to my thread Varad!
As I wrote in my previous reply, the button branching to page two is part of the report and totally independent from the buttons that call the Ajax script.
The forwarding to page two takes place after item P1_SORT has been set!
I have no more ideas what is causing this problem. The item that is supposed to be bound on page two is of type text without session saving property. It doesn't have a standard value and neither an item source that could potentially cause the problem!
Regards,
Sebastian
PS: Do you know if it's recommendable and possible to store the value of the Ajax code in an application item!?

Page items are cleared when calling javascript function for a buton.

Hello,
Can anyone please help me out with this issue.
I have a reports region with some editable items and in which I have a button enter errors which opens up an popup window, but for this button i also have save process which updates the report and also calls the javascript function popup window. The reason I am saving the report is because the values entered by user needs to be updated in the table or otherwise the page will be reloaded clearing all the values entered by the user when i click the button enter errors. One more thing is that I also have two hidden items (P1_LOAN and P1_HERITAGE) in the reports region.
Below is the javascript function which i am calling for the button and also setting the items P2_LOAN_NUMBER,P2_HERITAGE with the values &P1_LOAN.,&P1_HERITAGE.
function ErrorPopup()
popUp2('f?p=&APP_ID.:2:&SESSION.::&DEBUG.::P2_LOAN_NUMBER,P2_HERITAGE:&P1_LOAN.,&P1_HERITAGE.','_blank','scrollbars=0,left=200,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=400,height=500,toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0');
doSubmit('ENTER_ERRORS');
}And below is my pl/sql update process
BEGIN
FOR i IN 1 .. apex_application.g_f01.COUNT
LOOP
             IF WWV_FLOW_ITEM.MD5(
                                       APEX_APPLICATION.G_f10 (i) ,
                                       APEX_APPLICATION.G_f11 (i) ,APEX_APPLICATION.G_f12 (i) ,APEX_APPLICATION.G_f13 (i)) <> APEX_APPLICATION.G_F45 (i) THEN
-- Update tbl
          UPDATE sampl_tbl
          SET col1     =      APEX_APPLICATION.G_f10 (i) ,
                     col2     =      APEX_APPLICATION.G_f11 (i) ,
                     col3     =      APEX_APPLICATION.G_f12 (i) ,
                     col4     =      APEX_APPLICATION.G_f13 (i)
               WHERE pkcol    =      APEX_APPLICATION.G_f04 (i)
     END IF;
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
END;The only problem I have is, when I open up the popup window the hidden item values P1_LOAN and P1_HERITAGE are lost. Is their a way to set these item values within the session.
thanks,
Orton

"Tab Also Current for Pages" is automatically cleared when reusing page

I'd want to reuse a page, and include it in the "Tab Also Current for Pages" list of 2 standard tabs, that are displayed conditionally. But when I include it in the second tab, it is automatically cleared in the first. This only happens in the detail Tab edit screen, in the multi tab edit screen the pagenrs are not cleared. So I can achieve what I want, but for future maintanance this is very risky.
Is there any way to avoid this?

Hi Capt Egg
I didn't mean to say that there wasn't a case for a page being associated to more than one tab -- quite the opposite! More than once I wished that could be done...
But the fact is that currently in Apex we have:
- A tabular form that allows you associate the same page to multiple tabs (and worth mentioning, allows you to enter anything in the Also Current Pages column, not only a list of page numbers!)
- A form that doesn't allow you to do so, and validates if you entered a list of valid numbers in the Tab Also Current For Pages field.
Something needs fixing, and in my experience with Apex the forms I've seen seem to be much more strict in terms of validations than tabular forms for a number of reasons.
I am guessing that the form is the correct one and implements the intended rules. If that is true, the potential bug in the tabular form may be fixed in the future and the OP won't be able to maintain his applications that used this hack anymore.
Or maybe not, maybe the bug is in the form. But I would seek clarification on this before going down this route...

Problem with page cache clearing

I have a button that exits HTML DB and returns to our portal main page. That is done through a URL, and not a page number. There is no way to reset page cache with a URL branch. So I made a page that has a branch that calls the URL, and then I changed the button on the page to branch to this page and do the proper page cache resets before calling the other page that branches to the URL. However, the page cache is not being reset when I do this.
Here is the page flow
page 10 - Select a record for update
page 20 - Display data using an ID that is on page 10
If Return to Menu is clicked branch to page 1 and reset page 10 and page 20
Page 1 - Branches to URL
When I go back to page 10 from the application server page page 10 & 20 are still populated.
If I change page 20's return to menu to branch to page 10, then the reset does occur. What am I doing wrong? How do I reset the pages when leaving HTML DB?

Dwayne,
Validations, like other components, can have conditions that observe the current request value. This value is set to the button name when a button submits the page. So you could have a condition on a validation like 'When request != Expression 1' and in the Expression 1 field type the button name (check the button attributes to confirm the case-sensitive name and submit the page in debug mode to see the value of request when you click the button).
About clearing page cache when branching to URL -- not sure what you're after: Cache can be cleared if an HTML DB page is invoked via URL. You specify clear-cache options in the branch definition which you can observe in the URL that invokes the target page. If you mean that you want the cache of one or more HTML DB pages to be cleared "when" a branch to a non-HTML DB page is taken, that doesn't really make sense because nothing much happens during a branch except to call the HTML DB engine's accept procedure or to do a URL redirect. So all you can do is specify some action to happen "before" a branch is taken, e.g., clear cache on pages x,y,z using a page process, or specify that the clear cache action is to occur "after" the branch is taken as manifested in the resulting URL to an HTML DB page. For something to happen "when" a branch is being done presumably would be after page processing but before a redirect, which we already support in the form of page processes.

Yosemite 10.10.1 - DNS cache does not clear when switching between WiFi networks

Before updating to Yosemite, DNS caches would clear when switching between WiFi networks, as they should.
For Example, when using an Exchange server, your server name might be something like mail.company.com. Outside of the corporate LAN the IP would resolve to the outside (WAN) address. When you move the laptop inside the corporate LAN, it should clear the cache so mail.company.com resolves to the internal (LAN) address. This is just one example of a dumb DNS transition not taking place switching from outside to inside (and vice versa).
Instead, OS X is holding onto the outside DNS record even when moving to the Corporate LAN. The only way to fix is to run the DNS cache command (which is MUCH more convoluted in Yosemite now), or more easily, to quickly turn off then turn on WiFi.
This is an irritation as I have to perform this action every morning, and every time I come back to my desk from offsite.

Well, clearing the caches is as simple as this, no?

IOS AppStore page caching problems

Why has apple never fixed their iOS AppStore apps page caching issue? When I go to browse apps and I'm 2 or more pages in, after viewing the details and then going back, the app takes me back to the first page. It does this across all my idevices. It's particularly frustrating when you are 5 or more pages in and then after backing out of the details, you find your self back at page one. It's enough to push me away from ever using the AppStore ever again. Why does this happen and will apple fix it?

They may do a bit of monitoring, but there are too many forums and postings for everything to be read by them. And you won't be the first person to leave feedback about the store 'feature', so maybe something will eventually be done about it if enough power comment.

Clear Page cache

Hello,
I have a small question
In my application, i have a Quick Search page, where the user can search throug all the data. On this page I have a 'Clear Cache For Current Application' process, and I call it on Once per session, or when reset pressed.
The problem is that when the user goes to another page in the application, and then get back to that search page, the old searching results are still there.
I would like to clear the page every time, when the user navigates to some other page, so that when the go back to the search page, it will be clear.
I have a solution for that problem, but it is too clumsy. I created a Clear process on all other pages, so that when the user opens them, the search page is automatically cleared. But I have to clreate this clear process to every single other page.
Do you think there is some other earier way to get the page cleared after navigating away from it?!?
Thanks in Advance
Tsveti

Hi Scott,
I tried to do something like that, but i guess I am not doing something right... It just is not workin...
thats what i am doing:
I created a new process on the search page
Type: Clear Cache for all Items on Pages (PageID,PageID,PageID)
Put Search Page# as sorce (33)
then on 'Conditional Processing' selcted 'Current Page is NOT in Exp 1'
And there i put again 33 (search page number)
And when i navigate to some other page, and go back to the serch page, it still doesnt clear it.
I tried without condition, and it clears it on every load/refresh...
I dont get what m i doing wrong.....

Click a tab - Clear the Corresponding Page Cache

When a user clicks a tab and they are taken to a search page that is assigned to that tab, I would like the cache of that page to be cleared so that
all previous entries in search fields are gone.
I would only like this clearing-out to happen when the page is entered via the tab and not when the page is refreshed as would happen following running a search.
Can this be done ?
Thanks!
L

Hi
You could make your unconditional branch pass a request value and then make the clear cache process conditional on the request value not being equal to that??
Cheers

Clear the page cache

Hi,
We have recently started to develop our application on Solaris, before each regression test is run we need to clear the page cache so that performance is consistent. On Redhat/CentOS there is the following command:
To free pagecache, dentries and inodes:
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
However I cant find an equivalent command for Solaris. We have been using tail -f /dev/zero to run a huge process until the memory has been flushed which isn't very reliable and slow. Anyone know of a different way to do this?

If we are running multiple tests one after the other then the first test may make calls which causes information to be cached, then when the second test runs it may make use of the previously used pages in cache. This makes the second test results inconsistent as if it ran first the timing results would be different, also running through a debugger or with truss doesn't give the accuracy for timing that is required in this situation.

Cache, cookies and history are not clearing when I close Firefox even though they are set to do so and have been for ages

I recently had an update (or upgrade?) for FF 16. Today (and I believe the update was done a day or two ago?) my cache, cookies and history are not clearing when I close FF. Also, certain links are not working. Not links for full web pages but for site pop-ups (like the smilie window on a message board). They worked a few days but are not working today. I click the link and nothing happens. I noticed the problem with the cookies not clearing for a few weeks ago but it was only on one site not all sites which is what's happening now.
My apologies if that's a little confusing. Thanks!

At any rate, have you tried running Firefox in Private Browsing mode? This will ensure that no infromation from your session is saved once you exit Private Browsing mode and/or exit Firefox.
You can set Firefox to always start in Private Browsing mode: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/private-browsing-browse-web-without-saving-info#w_how-do-i-always-start-firefox-in-private-browsing

DO NOT USE PREVIEW TO FILL OUT PDF FORMS, IT WILL DESTROY PDF FILES. Sorry, but I had to shout here to prevent damage to your PDF files.
Here is one of the symptoms when you fill out a PDF form with Preview: If you save it and return it to the author, they will not be able to see the text that you've added to form fields - unless they click on a field, which will reveal the contents of just that field. You can recover from this problem, but Preview will also remove other field types, and will actually rewrite your complete PDF while ignoring what it does not understand. Take a look at this blog post for more information about the damage that Preview will cause: Preview.app - Killer of PDF Files

Clear page cache every time page is opened

I have a menu page in Apex that points to 10 report pages. However each page retains the values in parameters. How can I clear the page cache every time I go from menu to individual report page? I see the CLEAR_PAGE_CACHE procedure but don't know where to place the call. I guess I haven't understood the event model of the Apex completely yet (I am from the Oracle Forms background).
Jay

Jay,
You don't say how these links on the menu page are constructed. If you are using an apex list then for each list entry there would be a target page section in which you would put the target page ID in the Clear Cache field. For example, if the link goes to a page in the current application, say page 10, then you'd put 10 in the Clear Cache field.
If you are building a link yourself, just put 10 (for page 10) in the clear-cache position of the f?p URL, e.g.,
f?p=&APP_ID.:10:&APP_SESSION.::NO:10:P10_ITEM:&SOME_ITEM.

I am a Flash developer. When I change a Flash file (SWF) and try to test it, Firefox displays the previous version even though I have cleared the cache. Clearing the cache obviously doesn't clear everything. Why?

I developed a Flash file (SWF) with a light blue start button, placed it on a web server then went to the URL using Firefox (3.6.8). Later I updated the SWF (changed the button to dark blue), replaced the SWF on the web server, opened Firefox and used Tools/Clear Recent History... to clear the cache. Then when I went to the URL to test the replaced SWF it clearly opened the previous version (light blue button). How can that happen if the previous version no longer exists on the web server? Firefox can only be opening the file from its cache, so why is the file still there if I just cleared the cache?

Your not alone!
I had the identical issue with iPhone config Utility on windows 7 64bit.
A virtual macOS on the same machine didn't have a problem, windows iTunes didnt have a problem. Just a glitch with ICU on windows
I tried everything you did and the only thing that fixed it was to change the appID or app name (I forget which I did).
I don't know where that old app data is stored on the machine, but I deleted all apps, uninstalled/reinstalled ICU and it still would populate and install the old ipa.
I also still periodically get weird errors/glitches deploying to iOS on windows.
It's like some days I need to deploy with ICU, sometimes iTunes, sometimes I need to run the VM mac... SOO frustrating.
It always works one way or another, so the app itself is always fine.
I guess I really need to look into that new direct deployment option...
