For the modules involving OA Frame work (Self Service) whenever we do any modification with respect to setup or profile option change etc.., It will not be reflected immediately as you expected due to cache
Another Very common problem is when we add a new responsibility involving the Self Service to the user we will sometimes end up with the following error
'XXX is not a valid responsibility for the current user. Please contact your System Administrator'
The above issue may be due to the cache in the Apache server
we need to request the DBA to bounce the Apache Server for clearing the cache and for the setup to be reflected
I was wondering Is there a way we can do this from front end?
Yes it is simple and easy..... Follow the steps below
Add the responsibility 'Functional Administrator' to the user name
Navigate to (R) Functional Administrator > (T) Core Services > (T) Caching Framework > (M)Global Configuration > (B) Clear all
It will prompt a warning message. Select Yes
Now navigate to the corresponding module, you can able to find the setup reflecting if the previous issue was due to the cache
Try it out!!!
