OBIEE cache

Hi all,

I have implemented a custom skin/style on our horizontally scaled 12c environment which sits on a shared SAN.
I am now using trial and error to fix the numerous css issues that the migration from 11 to 12 has given us.
Unfortunately, I can't for the life of me work out how to get OBIEE to release the previous version of the css file i'm working on. I have tried stopping and starting the brandingskins deployment, refreshed cache/cookies, used incognito mode, restarted services in EM.
When it finally does decide to include my 1 line changes, it throws up a number of other issues:

eg: ERR_CONTENT_LENGTH_MISMATCH

Does anyone have any advice on how to make changes to a css file without having to restart the entire server every time?

Thanks in advance,
Adam

Key question: HOW did you deploy the s_/sk_ ? EAR or analyticsRes?

Adam Wickes

Because I was migrating an 11g environment, I copied the brandingskins folder onto a SAN and then created the deployment.

"created the deployment" - ok just so we're clear:

This? https://gianniceresa.com/2017/02/obiee-12c-custom-style-using-shared-folder/

Or this? https://gianniceresa.com/2016/12/obiee-12c-custom-style-ear-file/

The first option sorry.

Looks like I can shut down and restart just the biserver using the WLS console which takes a fraction of the time.
Still a few minutes but better than 15.

Thanks all,
Adam

Pretty sure all I've ever had to do was get it out of my local cache. So if it hasn't updated I'll just have the css file open and hit ctrl-f5 on it and then go back to OBIEE and refresh

This seems to work if you're making a small change but if you're removing/adding say 5 lines of code, it will give the error I mentioned in the OP.

Interesting. I only ever had the behaviour Daniel also mentioned.

You can try redeploying from console
