Purge BI Server Cache from Dash Board

One of colleague asked me, is it possible delete server cache from dash board? So started working on it, finally got solution how to do that.
I have created a script using C# on top of obiee-webservices, built a web page and embedded it on Dashboard, as of now I have incorporated Purge All, Purge by Database and they are working cool.


I have refered following resource,

Thanks John, for a very good article on cache purge.
Oracle technical resource on cache purging.
Oracle technical guide on Web Services.

I am thinking to make it as handy tool and available to every one.

  1. Forgive me if I come off a little blunt, but you are "thinking" to make it available? why bother blogging about it and call your site "tipsonobiee" if you have to consider to share your findings?

  2. Hey Anonymous,

    Thanks for your message.

    If i have to make it as common tool, I have to code a lot, right now I have hard coded few things like administrator password etc and one more part deployment i need to see which method works fine. I'm ready to share my code with you all if you want to know insight.

    I thought of checking with you all guys. If you guys really needed then I can spend sometime to make it as "Tool".

  3. Hi Srinivas,

    I have been using the same links you linked when it comes to purging cache but i think it would be greatly desirable to have a OBIEE dashboard page to purge cache . Is there a way we could see the code, I can probably customise it for my environment if you would be so kind as to share it?
    Thanks
