Saving changes in Portal Studio and Portal Management - the cache

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 35

When developing Portals, and troubleshooting, it is common to try different settings, save the changes, and browse the portal to see the effect.

 

Sometimes the changes take effect immediately.  Sometimes there is a delay.  In my experience, this is one of the single most time-consuming issues impacting Power Apps Portals adoption.

 

Microsoft improved caching in mid-2020.  MS Docs says

The first statement is ambiguous, possibly contradicting the second.  Has anyone else experienced delays in config changes taking effect?  How do you manage it?

    Yeah I find those statements confusing as well. 

     

    • Capacity-based portals and add-on portals will use the same caching functionality.
      • This one I think is fine, is basically to say Power Apps Portals and Dynamics 365 Portals Add-On works the same way
    • Capacity-based portals don't have to manually clear the configuration table cache.
      • The 15 min SLA will clear the Portal cache, including transactional data and configuration data, so you "don't need" to clear the cache manually
      • During DEV, you must clear cache manually as it's just not practical to wait the 15 mins SLA

     

    Please take a look at this article to see a few tips: http://oliverrodrigues365.com/2020/07/27/power-apps-portals-caching-tips/

    The JavaScript I have there is a life changer

     

    In general a few easy ways to clear cache:

    • JavaScript bookmark from my article (need to be signed-in as admin)
    • Open Portals Studio and click Sync Configuration
    • Open Portals Studio and click Browse Website

    I submitted a request to the documentation team for clarification.  If it is still subject to the 15 minute SLA, that seems no different from the previous version.
