Setting the option to clear the IDO metadata cache

For form and application development purposes, we recommend that you clear the IDO metadata cache frequently, to ensure that you are using the current, edited metadata. Windows client can be set to clear the cache each time you use the Unload All Global Form Objects command.

To set the option to clear IDO metadata when you unload global form objects:

  1. From the View menu, select User Preferences.
  2. Select the Run Time tab.
  3. Select Unload IDO metadata along with global objects.

Now, whenever you unload global form objects, the IDO metadata cache is also cleared.

Note: With the IDO Runtime Development Server, you can select Discard IDO Metadata Cache on the Configuration menu to clear IDO metadata without clearing global form objects.

Note also that this option does not affect the option to clear the IDO metadata cache for servers in a server farm. For that option, see Refreshing the IDO metadata cache for a server farm.
