Flush the Policy Store Cache

Flushing the policy store caches flushes all of the current entries and reloads the cache with all of entries in the policy store. During the flush, the policy store cache is taken offline. The Policy Server either pauses or uses the policy store directly to make policy decisions

To flush the policy store cache

1. Open the registry editor.
2. Navigate to \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Netegrity\SiteMinder\CurrentVersion\ObjectStore.
3. Create the FlushObjCache registry key with the following values:

   Type: DWORD

   Value: 1or 0

   • 1

     Enables the key. When enabled, you can use the Flush All button on the Cache Management dialog to flush all Policy Server and associated SiteMinder Agent caches, including the policy store cache.

   • 0

     Disables the key. When disabled, you can use the Flush All button on the Cache Management dialog to flush all Policy Server and associated SiteMinder Agent caches, excluding the policy store cache.

   Note: If a value does not exist, the key is disabled.

4. Use the Cache Management dialog in the Administrative UI to flush all caches.
