SAP Fiori launchpad caching

[Former Member]

Hi,

I've created a custom theme for the SAP Fiori launchpad and I'm running into caching issues. I've tried a number of ways to clear the cache, but the changes are not visible for users I've logged in with before making the changes. When I create a fresh copy of the same user and login I do see the changes.

I've already tried the following things to clear the cache, without luck:

- Clear the browser cache

- Clear the server cache in SMICM, both locally and globally

- Clear the cache in /UI5/THEME_TOOL

- Clear the cache with /IWFND/CACHE_CLEANUP

- Clear the cache with /IWBEP/CACHE_CLEANUP

- Clear the cache with /UI2/CHIP_SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE

Does anyone know the secret to succesfully clearing the theme cache? Some of these steps above in a particular order or do I need to do something else?

We are on UI5 1.24.4 and theme designer 1.6.2 with all the latest notes implemented.

Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion, but it did not work.

Hi,

Please try SAPUI5 library 1.24.5. Theme issue was fixed.

I made a mistake in the original post, we are already on 1.24.5. It seems the version number in the control-alt-shift-p popup did not get updated to 1.24.5 with the update, but we did implement all the 1.24.5 notes.

Hi,

Please share the URL parameter for the theme. Parameter name might be wrong.

I found the issue, it was not cache related (I think). For some reason (I don't know how), the theme that was supposed to be used was saved as personalization for the user in the user master data. Once I reset UI2/CONTAINER and /UI2/USER_PROFILE (don't know if both are needed) in the user master record in SU01 on the tab Personalization, the custom theme was used for the user (as maintained in /UI2/NWBC_CFG_CUST).

Thanks for the input, I think we can consider this one closed. I'm not sure why the personalization of the theme was saved for the user, I think it must be in the user preferences menu of the launchpad, but that is kind of weird as the theme selection dropdown is read only.

Hi Robert,

Even I am facing the same issue.

Could you please help me in detail how to reset /UI2/USER_PROFILE in Personalization tab of SU01?

Does reset mean a refresh or something?

Hi Lipsa,

You can find the personalization in SU01 in the Personalilzation tab. In change mode you can delete the value of /UI2/USER_PROFILE.

Hi Robert,

I'm happy to do as you suggest, but I have found no way to delete that entry.  Change mode in that screen does not allow the deletion.  There is a button with a trash can icon, but it does a “Reset values” and not a removal.

Please suggest how to proceed?

Hi Robert,

Thanks a ton !

After clicking the trash can icon, values were reset and custom themes are now loading for the user.

However, the same problem is with other users as well. The mass user maintenance does not include the personalization tab, so we will have to do the users one at a time.

Is there a way in which /UI2/USER_PROFILE can be reset for all users at once?

Hi Lipsa,

I'm not aware of any way to do a mass change of this, but I have not looked for it. In my case there were only two affected users, so there was no need.

If you should find a way please let me know, could be usefull for the next time.

[Former Member]

Sure Robert, I will let you know.

Meanwhile if you find a solution please post.

Hi Robert,

you can use methode user_delete from class cl_pers_service to delete the personalization for many user.

Parameters:

p_pers_key = /UI2/USER_PROFILE

p_delete_all_objects = space

p_delete_when_buffer_saved = space

p_uname_list --> List of users

To copy and paste multiple users create report or function module and call the methode.
