Is there any other way to publish or broadcast that the users profile has changed other then, ma

We have the portal servers setup in the following manner. Server A has one instance of portal server with profile server and LDAP server. Server B has 4 instances of portal server and a profile server and NO LDAP server installed on this machine.

Issue :

No user sessions existing (user profile in cache) on either machine.

Update the user information using the content on the desktop on Server A.

Log out of server A.

Log in to server B as same user.

Changes made for the user show up on desktop.

Make some more changes on server B.

Log out of server B.

Log in to server A as same user.

Changes made for the user DO NOT show up on desktop.

Question is, is there a way to get rid of users cached information when the user logs out, in turn making sure that we get the fresh profile every time the user logs in ? I know there is a setting iwtUserCacheSize in properties.file under /etc/opt/SUNWips and I can set it to "0", is there any other way to publish or broadcast that the users profile has changed. In turn making the profile server get a new profile ?

TIA.

setting iwtUserCacheSize to zero is not recommended you might take a performance hit if you do that and it might not solve the problem either. The problem your seeing should not happen, it looks like the two caches for the profile servers don't seem to be in sync with each other. This happens generally when the sync fails between the two profile servers.

The server values in iwtNaming component should point to the first profile server you installed. you can check this by doing ipsadmin get component iwtNaming | more.

Also make sure that you don't have any special characters like & in your tabs or channel name, this could cause the sync to fail between the profile servers.

It is generally recommend that all servers have their own local profile server cache for better peformance, which is a better approach then setting iwtUserCacheSize to zero or point to a single profile server.

HTH ..
