Thanks othos.

Any insight on the below two scenarios:

1. Install hotfixes (it is suggested to remove the extract marker file(which we dont have now) and then restart the machine)

2. To clear out caches

And also does restarting the PRPC node clear and rebuild all the caches?

Hi Avinash,

Please find my response below:

#1 - Engineering team still releasing hotfix with same step as earlier ,thats why you are seeing this comment.

#2 - Restarting will not clear the cache.

Thanks othos.

I'm really confused here.. Does the cache lie in the memory or in the database (as its persistent across restarts)

Hi Avinash,

Cache files will be present in the physical memory.

For 7.2.1 and later versions, to clear the cache you should delete the contents of the PegaTemp folder.  This will do the same as deleting the extract marker in earlier versions.

There is some caching in the database, but you should not do a database cache clear unless you've been instructed to do so by Pega.  It's almost never needed in Pega 7 (unlike some earlier versions of Pega).  If it comes up, Pega will provide a query to do so.
