Unable to the cache refresh for the AF

Hi Guys,
I am unable to do the full cache refresh for the "AF" in the administration tab under caches overview.
I tried with PISUPER and also PIAFUSER. It says not authorized.
any help would be really appreciated
Thanks,
srini

Hi Srinivas,
Refer this Doc...
Mentioned about all the caches available in XI:

  • Cache Refresh for Adapter Engine is not working

    Hi,
    our adaper engine is not working. At RTW no there are no channels visible and the button "Test Cache Connectivity" leads to a yellow icon for the adapter engine with the error text: "Attempt to fetch cache data from Integration Directory not yet started or still in process".
    The error reason is at <i>http://<j2ee host>:<port>/CPACache/history.jsp</i> available: <i>com.sap.aii.af.service.cpa.impl.exception.CPADirectoryCacheException: Couldn't open Directory URL (http://pixd1.digoff.no:55200/dir/hmi_cache_refresh_service/ext?method=CacheRefresh&mode=C&consumer=af.xd1.dat-dof-xi), due to: HTTP 403: Forbidden</i>
    <b>The cache refreh request from adapter engine to directory gets an 403 error.</b> What is strange: No problem, to execute that request in a browser, i get the right message, no fault.
    I searched for notes or other threads, i could find only <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes/sdn_oss_bc_xi/~form/handler%7b5f4150503d3030323030363832353030303030303031393732265f4556454e543d444953504c4159265f4e4e554d3d373531383536%7d">SAP note 751856</a> , but it is valid for XI 3.0; we are on PI 7.0.
    I checked out:
    - no user blocked
    - all system users have standard authorisations
    - reimport of SAP BASIS SWC
    - SICF services for XI active
    - destination INTEGRATION_DIRECTORY_HMI working
    Any idea, how i can get the adapter engine working?

    Hi,
    There are two ways to display the content of the CPA cache refresh.
    1. The Cache-Update Content-XML
    Document can be stored in the Adapter Framework database (J2EE schema) for further analysis. Here you have to set the property in the J2EE Visual Administrator tool.
    To do so, proceed as follows:
    =>J2EE-service SAP XI AF CPA Cache
    => set property trackCacheUpdateXML= true
    => You can now display the cache update XML with the alias  CPACache
    => View Cache Update History
    => View Cache Update XML
    2. The content of the cache refresh from the Integration Directory intothe CPA cache can be written to an XML file: Here you have to set the property inthe J2EE Visual Administrator tool:
    =>J2EE-service SAP XI AF CPA Cache
    => set property J2EE service SAP XI AF CPA Cache cacheUpdateDebugFile = true
    => the CPA cache refresh XML file will be in the server(0) directory search for the following file names:
    => value of the property cacheUpdateDebugFile.deltaif you intend to see the delta refresh accordingly and the value of the property cacheUpdateDebugFile.full if
    you intend to see the full cache refresh content
    Note: After your analysis, do not forget to reset the properties value to false.
    You can delete the XML cache-
    refresh table: alias CPACache
    => View Cache Update History
    => Delete History
    Also check out the user and its permission.

  • Force cache refresh for my website

    Hello,
    I have a problem on my website : http://kevinpounot.olympe.in/<br />
    This problem appear just with Firefox.
    When I update my site with new photo or if I change the main page, the modifications does not appear in Firefox.
    The browser just load the caching version of my website and the new stuff is not here.
    I already tried some codes like :
    <pre><nowiki><HEAD>
    <META http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache">
    <META http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">
    <META http-equiv="Expires" content="0">
    </HEAD> </nowiki></pre>
    or
    <pre><nowiki><?php
    header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");
    header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT");
    header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate");
    header("Pragma: no-cache");
    ?> </nowiki></pre>
    Nothing works.
    Is there a code which could force the browser to refresh cache and load the latest version of the site ?
    PS : Sorry for possible mistakes in my english. ;)

    The first thing to check is whether you have any caching plugins like WPSuper cache if you are using a CMS like Wordpress.
    These create temporary HTML versions of your page so it is not enough to deactivate them, you have to activate them and then delete their cache from their settings page.
    If you are a developer and never want cache loaded then
    enter the following into your address bar
    about:config
    Tell it you understand it is dangerous
    enter cache into the search bar and look for
    browser.cache.disk.enable
    Read about what it does here
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.cache.disk.enable
    clicking it sets it to false
    This will make firefox slower but will work
    You can use this as an alternative
    browser.cache.check_doc_frequency
    read about it here
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.cache.check_doc_frequency
    basically the settings are
    0 Check for a new version of a page once per session
    1 Check for a new version every time a page is loaded.
    2 Never check for a new version - always load the page from cache.
    3 Check for a new version when the page is out of date. (Default)
    but this does not work so well for me
    Note that
    browser.cache.disk.enable
    must be set to true for
    browser.cache.check_doc_frequency
    to make any difference
    Note that your ISP may be caching, if so consider using different nameservers like openDNS or Google DNS

  • Xi Data Cache Refresh Problem

    Hello,
    We have following Problem:
    We send an XML-Request with HTTP-Adapter to XI and get Data from R/3, works fine.
    But when we send a Second Request we become an Error.
    The error comes because in the Java Runtime the XI writes wrong values into Message.
    When we do a XI Data Cache Refresh for INTEGRATION_SERVER
    and INTEGRATION_RUNTIME we can send a message and all works fine again.´
    Any Idea why the XI Caches Data from Request and set this values in the message of request that was send later?
    Thanks,
    Robin

    Hi,
    I think both are same. Because in SXi_ADM we also define our IS. so i think it may be same ...
    If I am wrong please share your knowledge . in this thread for more clarification ..

  • Cache refresh never ends

    Hi,
    when I refresh the cache in PI... it always stays in the state  : Cache Content is being updated...
    It never ends and I'm getting some really strange behavior in Integration Builder like when I configure a configuration scenario and put a communication component for a business system, it is ok but then the setting just disapears if I switch to another business system in the graphic and comme back...
    It looks like a cache problem and its driving me crazy. Its actually easier when you have an actual error rather than a never ending process.
    Thanks.

    Hi
    -->Please Follow the below steps for CACHE REFRESH,If these does not solve your problem contact your basis people and restart the Server.
    -->In ID fro MENU->TOOLS->Click on Cache Notifications ans see the status if the cache is not updated.
    then goto T-code SXI_CACHE and do the Full cache and Delta cache refresh.
    -->Also check the RFC destination of type H in your PI system INTEGRATION_DIRECTORY_HMI is working or not if not check the path prefix and your technical settings and logon security correct or not.
    >Also do the cache refresh from PI home page ADMINISTRATION>CACHE OVERVIEW ,Do the cache refresh for IR ,ID and RWB.
    Thanks

  • ABAP HTTP cache refresh

    Hi-
    What role is required for an Integration Server (ABAP) HTTP cache refresh?
    This is accessible if you go to XI Administration -> Cache Overview and click on Full Cache Refresh for INTEGRATIONSERVER_. It calls this URL.
    http://hostname:8000/sap/xi/cache?sap-client=800&mode=F
    XISUPER has all SAP_XI* roles. I get a "403 Forbidden" unless I include SAP_ALL.

  • How does the Web AS Cache refresh work?

    Hi,
    How does the Web AS Cache refresh work?
    I search a guide for Information about this.
    Can anybody help me?
    Thanks.
    Regards.
    Stefan

    hi stefan...
    Cache is nothing but a buffer kinda where all the recently accessed data r stored.
    so sometimes even after making changes u access the page the old data/page is displayed...
    so Web AS cache works as a normal refresh deleting all the recently accessed data/pages...
    it clears or frees ur memory so tht no irrelevant data is obtained...
    for further details, refer to google search... " Web AS Cache Refresh in SAP-Xi"

  • Type-mapping not working correctly, get "Unable to find a javaType for the xmlType" WARNING

    I'm manually creating a web-services.xml file, and using the autogen ant task to
    generate the codec XML/Java classes. The XML definition is provided by SAP.
    The ant build.xml file:
    <project name="buildWebservice" default="stubgen">
    <target name="stubgen">
    <clientgen ear="C:\projects\RMIS\ifrrequests\RMIS.ear"
    packageName="com.aa.rmis.webservice.client"
    clientJar="C:\projects\RMIS\ifrrequests\rmisws-client.jar"
    autotype="False" />
    </target>
    <target name="all" depends="stubgen"/>
    </project>
    The problem is seen below in the output from Ant. Note the WARNINIG. The problem
    is that the xml type cannot be mapped to the Java type.
    C:\projects\RMIS\ifrrequests>ant -buildfile clientbuild.xml
    Buildfile: clientbuild.xml
    stubgen:
    [clientgen] Generating client jar for RMIS.ear ...
    [clientgen] WARNINIG: Unable to find a javaType for the xmlType:['urn:sap-com:do
    cument:sap:business']:PaymentRequest.Create. Make sure that you have registered
    this xml type in the type mapping
    [clientgen] Using SOAPElement instead
    [clientgen] Compiling 4 source files to C:\DOCUME~1\944377\LOCALS~1\Temp\rmisws-
    client.jar-836624340
    [clientgen] Building jar: C:\projects\RMIS\ifrrequests\rmisws-client.jar
    BUILD SUCCESSFUL
    Total time: 17 seconds
    The Java source that has the implementation of the service methods is simply:
    package com.aa.rmis.webservice;
    import com.aa.rmis.ifr.request.*;
    public class TestService
    public TestService()
    public int serviceRequest(PaymentRequestCreate request)
    System.out.println("Received serviceRequest message");
    return 0;
    public void testStringRequest(String request)
    The web-service.xml file is attached, which contains the schema for the SAP PaymentRequest.Create
    object definition.
    Another problem I have, which is probably related, is that the service method
    that has a complex data type (non-built in data type) is not being deployed into
    the WebLogic server. But the other service method that simply takes a String
    parameter is.
    The steps I took are:
    1. Get XML from SAP Interface Repository (IFR) for PaymentRequest
    2. Use ant task autogen to generate the request codec classes
    3. Create the web-services.xml file by inserting the schema definition and the
    mapping file created by the autogen task, and defining the operations
    4. Build web-services.war file that contains all autogen compiled class files,
    the web-services.xml file, and the service implementation class
    5. Build the ear file that holds the web service files
    6. Use the clientgen ant task to generate (included above) to generate the client
    jar file that should contain the proxy for both of the service methods
    Environment:
    * WebLogic 7.02
    * JDK 1.3.1_06
    * JBuilder 9 Enterprise
    * Ant 1.4
    Possible causes:
    * Namespace not being used correctly
    * copied verbatim the mapping xml file generated by autogen into the web-services.xml
    file
    * xml-schema part of web-services.xml might not be set correctly
    * operation definition might not be using the correct namespace
    * Classpath used for ant might not be right
    * Doubt this is the problem, but I'm out of other ideas
    * Set by using the setWLEnv.cmd file provided by WebLogic
    * Tried adding the generated classes directory for my project to the classpath,
    but did not work
    I've been referencing the Programming WebLogic Web Services document throughout
    this entire process. I must be missing something.
    Can anybody from BEA help me out with this problem?
    Thanks in advance.
    [web-services.xml]

    Hi JD,
    I spent a few cycles looking over your web-services.xml file, however I
    don't have any suggestions other that one that looks like you have
    already tried, at the top, in the <schema...>
    targetNamespace="urn:sap-com:document:sap:business"
    Making edits to these generated files can be tricky and my only
    suggestion is to create a small reproducer to run by our outstanding
    support team.
    A quick look at our problem database shows one issue (CR095109) related
    to a similar problem at deploy time that was fixed with 7.0SP3. Again,
    the support folks will be able to help focus in on the issue.
    Regards,
    Bruce

    This might be due to The 'Oracle Instance' path may not have been set to a path relative to the 'CSS Bridge Host' (i.e. the Foundation Services machine) on the Configuration > Host Machines > CSS > General tab of the DRM Configuration Utility.
    if this is the case then
    1. Open the DRM Configuration Console.
    2. Go to the Configuration > Host Machines > CSS > General tab of the DRM Configuration Utility.
    3. Ensure that the path in 'Oracle Instance' has been set relative to the 'CSS Bridge Host' (i.e. the Foundation Services machine defined in 'CSS Bridge Host').
    4. If corrections are made to 'Oracle Instance' then restart the DRM services to pick up the change.
    Thanks,

    If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.
