If we keep disable_cache_hit=1 , page refresh will force query re run..right?

Gianni Ceresa

Even if I still believe the OP wants something way simpler than what it can sounds ....

On a theoretical point of view not sure disabling cache for the analysis will re run the query if reloading the page. There are different kind of cache, and the flag disable the biserver cache, so the query will not hit the biserver cache but go to the DB. But the presentation cache is still different and act in his own way. That's why there is the refresh / clear my customization in the top-right menu.

But again: that's just my interpretation at 11pm, would deserve a test to really see which cache does the flat influence. For sure the biserver one, not sure about the front-end cache.

I forgot to add that there's no nedd to disable anny cache...if I'm not wrong on 12c (from the screenshot i guess it's John release)

the standard behaviour reloading the page is to run the query aganist DB.

Hi Gianni ,

yes i only want the latest data , when i open the dashboard ... without refreshing it every time by clicking the "refresh" button . i  am using OBIEE 12c

John305

Yes , that's what i am looking for , refreshing data in real time , without clicking the refresh button

Martin van Donselaar

No, It depends, It might in certain circumstances but it does not in many others. Also see Gianni's reply

Hi John,

OBIEE may not be the right tool for real time displays, just my two cents.

No, as long as cache is set correctly or you add the disable cache flag as posted earlier.

I probably missed something really big here ... but when you open the dashboard it will always show you the most recent data as long as you didn't randomly enabled cache hoping on a miraculous automated management of it. If your cache isn't enabled or you have a proper cache management strategy in place the dashboard will execute the queries when you open it and you will get data from the source. If you keep it open then you have the front-end cache which is what can require to use the refresh of the top-right menu.

So I'm still not sure what's your case ... if you don't see the most recent data because of cache or because you leave the dashboard open and you expect it to refresh by itself from time to time (which would be similar to clicking on "refresh").
