Duplicate folders showing in Presentation Catalog (but, not in Catalog manager)

Question

Hi All,

I was trying to clean some items up in our Dev instance and have encountered some unexpected behavior. In particular, I deleted a folder (under the shared folders) which contained some analyses for some dashboards. Now, two things happen: if I try to archive and unarchive the same folder from another instance I get two of the same folders ... duplicates. Also, If I just try to create a new folder, with the same name, I also get two of the same folders ... duplicates. When I log into the Catalog Manager, I only see one object. Also, when I delete either one of the objects, they both go away.

I do have a catalog backup to restore, if necessary. Plus, this is Dev. But, I'd like to try and understand what is happening here so that I avoid whatever mis-step I took to create this situation.

Thanks!

Thanks Gianni. Good suggestion. Yea ... I think we're good on this now.

I saw that once or twice, but it was a while ago and I guess I also just had it as some "caching" side effect.

So all is good.

If not wrong I guess that doing those operations directly with Catalog Manager doesn't generate the issue as you don't get the cache in the browser.

Hi Gianni,

Must be something like that. Initially, they are there. But, after a refresh of the Catalog pane the are gone. When I do logout and log back in they are still gone.
