Under what circumstances does Rebuild Global Settings need to be run?
Resolution:
Rebuild Global Settings is needed when any of the following is changed:
- Metadata changes (via a script that Deltek may provide for a fix or other update)
- System Settings or System Property values (i.e. Change in Configuration utility)
- Database updates, done specifically via backend SQL scripts and not through the Costpoint UI
Note:
- You do not need to run Rebuild Global Settings if Weblogic has been restarted after any of the above changes, as it will start with fresh cache.
- Not running Rebuild Global Settings after changing metadata, system settings, or database updates could result in critical system errors due to a mismatch of the backend code and the UI or invalid data in the UI.
- It is safe to run Rebuild Global Settings when users are working in Costpoint - all it does is clear cache on the Weblogic server.
