Re: Disable application level caching

 

Hi Team,

These are the cases that we have come across so far.

Caching issues

Case 1:

A new program doesn’t show up on Event capture /tracker capture apps even
after assigning it to a user role & org. units

Case 2:

Admin edits a user by changing the user’s  org. unit.

Log out and log in with the new user

The org. Unit tree remains same / doesn’t reflect new changes

Case 3:

Modifying data set sections (esp. Assigning or removing data elements) does
not show up on the data entry form immediately.

Case 4:

Adding new category combinations to data elements does not show up on data
entry module

Case 4:

Adding custom data forms for data entry module/ event / tracker capture.

Case 5:

Customizing DHIS by applying custom CSS/JS files

Case 6:

Caching of dashboards & modification of charts present on dashboards

Case 7:

Right after importing metadata into an instance.

Case 8:

Loading the form name of a data element after editing it.

Case 9:

Assigning new authority or revoking any authority does not reflect
immediately.

Sultan Ahamar
