Automate IOSCacheRefresh

Hey Joe,

What platform are you on?

Randall

Randall,

We are on a windows platform. Apps 8.1, Env 9.0

Thanks,
Joe

Below is a script that you maybe able to use to automate an IOSCacheRefresh. An installation of cURL (3rd party tool) will be needed as well.

@echo off
SETLOCAL

SET CURLDIR= (the directory where cURL was installed)
cd %CURLDIR%

****run over SSL**** *****if not over SSL, remove the -k switch & replace https with http*****
curl -k -L -b dummy.txt "https://yourservername/sso/SSOServlet?_ssoUser=Lawson ID&_ssoPass=Lawson Password&_ssoLogin=Login&_action=LOGIN&_fromLoginPage=TRUE&_language=en-us&_ssoOrigUrl=https://yourservername/servlet/IOSCacheRefresh&_serviceName=SSOP" -o iosrefresh.txt --stderr iosrefrerr.log

IF NOT EXIST iosrefresh.txt GOTO END

FIND /i "Refresh complete" iosrefresh.txt > NUL

IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 (GOTO LABELGOOD) ELSE GOTO LABELWRONG

:LABELGOOD
ECHO IOSCacheRefresh COMPLETE %DATE% %TIME% > iosrefresh.log
COPY iosrefresh.log + iosrefresh.txt > NUL
GOTO REMOVEFILES

:LABELWRONG
ECHO IOSCacheRefresh NOT COMPLETE %DATE% %TIME%. cURL errors are shown below > iosrefresh.log
COPY iosrefresh.log + iosrefresh.txt + iosrefrerr.log > NUL
GOTO REMOVEFILES

:REMOVEFILES
IF EXIST iosrefresh.txt DEL iosrefresh.txt
IF EXIST iosrefrerr.log DEL iosrefrerr.log

:END
ENDLOCAL

we are on AIX, LSF9

installed cURL on AIX6.1, and curl -k -L -b dummy.txt "https://yourservername/sso/SSOServlet?_ssoUser=Lawson ID&_ssoPass=Lawson Password&_ssoLogin=Login&_action=LOGIN&_fromLoginPage=TRUE&_language=en-us&_ssoOrigUrl=https://yourservername/servlet/IOSCacheRefresh&_serviceName=SSOP" -o iosrefresh.txt --stderr iosrefrerr.log

replaced: ssoUser and ssoPass, output from iosrefrerr.log:
infappqa1:RDC:/tmp>cat iosrefrerr.log
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed
100 2000 100 2000 0 0 7265 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 7380

login to portal to check, but change did not work. when i IOSCacheRefresh browser, it worked fine. any idea ?

if you can paste that entire URL in the browser, and it works, then it might be that the version of curl you have doesn't support SSL.

If you are using a vertically scaled cluster (in WAS), you need to set up your IOSCacheRefresh to take into account all of the servers, too. I thought that there was a KB article about how to do that, but I haven't been able to find it.
