Overview: Sometimes a user’s browser can rely on locally cached data rather than retrieving fresh data from the WSG server.  This can cause unexpected behavior while using Web Connected services. This article provides instructions on how to clear browser cache in order to record behavior in the most current form from the Bentley WSG server and connected service. 

Products and versions:

• Any Web Services Gateway version and WSG plugin.
• Any Bentley Web Service

 

Pre-requisites \ Assumptions \ Preliminary setup:

• User must be using a Chromium based browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox)
• It is recommended that for Connect and PW365 services that users be configured to use a federated login rather than a logical account.
