Re: HTTP 500 error
Thanks Lj, I am new to this application since our recent admin left it was handed on to me. How do I flush the mid-tier cache and what affect does that have on the users?

Re: HTTP 500 error
Yes, by clearing the local cache, I'm referring to deleting temp internet files. Regarding the server cache, that's accessed at http://webserver:port/arsys/shared/config/config.jsp You provide the password needed, and then go to Cache, and press the 'Flush Cache' buttonnow...for the impact. Depending on your version, load, etc...the impact can actually be rather severe. Without a cache, the server needs to retrieve everything from the server, and re-compile jsp pages before it can present the page to the user. As you are aware, there are 10's of thousands of active links, and thousands of forms associated with the ITSM app, so the re-cache process, depending on hardware can sometimes take in upwards of an hour or more...so it's something that should likely be done 'after hours' if at all possiblebut I sometimes do it on my server in the middle of the day depending on the impact that it not being flushed has on the user base...so it's really a judgement call.

Re: HTTP 500 error
They will get slow performance for any object that has not already been re-built, and in general slow performance, depending on your version, because the Web server is very busy re-building the cache, so it's not as 'available' to do everything else as quickly as it normally would. So the web interface would not be 'down', but 'impacted', to use performance terms :) On Thu, Aug 8, 2013 at 11:21 AM, Herrera, Danny dherr...@columbia.comwrote: ** Thanks Lj.

Re: HTTP 500 error
If the suggestions LJ made don't work you can try the the steps below. We recently had an issue where one user would get HTTP 500 error no matter what machine they logged in from. It turns out there was something the system did not like about their AR System User Preference record (let us know if you need help finding it). 1. (Optional if doing steps 5 - 8) Open the customer's AR System User Preference record in the User Tool and Copy to New (CTR+T) but do not save. 2. Deleted existing AR System User Preference Record 3. Have customer login and verify that issue had been corrected 4. * OPTIONAL * 5. Have customer logout 6. Delete new preference record that was just created 7. Save the Copied to New preference record 8. Have customer login and verify the error does not reoccur By using the optional steps the customer will not lose any saved preferences.
