PRB: Cannot Refresh Multi-Server Web Farm Cache from the Business Desk (810873)

RESOLUTION

1. In the Global.asax.cs file, make the following changes:
   • In #region Namespaces, add the following code:

     using Microsoft.CommerceServer.Runtime.Targeting; 
     using csInterop = Microsoft.CommerceServer.Interop; 

   • In #region Data Members, add the following code:

     private bool cacheAppUrlSet = false;

   • In public override void Init (), add the following code:

     if (cacheAppUrlSet == false)
     { 
     // Get cache from CommerceCacheModule.ContentSelectionContexts["Advertising"]["CacheManager"].
     csInterop.Caching.CacheManager cacheManager =(csInterop.Caching.CacheManager)
     CommerceContentSelectionModule.ContentSelectionContexts["Advertising"]["CacheManager"];
     // Set the AppUrl property.
     cacheManager.AppUrl = "http://" + Environment.MachineName + "/MSIB20"; 
     cacheAppUrlSet = true;
     }

2. Open the MSIB20.csproj file in Visual Studio .NET, and then add a reference to CS Install Folder\Assemblies\CacheCompLib.dll.
3. Recompile the application in Visual Studio .NET.
4. Propagate Microsoft.Solutions.InternetBusiness.dll to each Web server in the MSIB20\bin folder.
5. In BizDesk, delete all previously registered caches in Publish PCOs under Targeting, in Publish Profiles under Profiles, and in Publish Campaigns under Campaigns (if any).
6. Visit the Web site on each server to reregister the caches. To register the PCO cache, you must view a page that has Targeted Content - in the sample site that is the About page.
7. In BizDesk, there is now one entry per server in the BizDesk module lists, instead of only one for the shared Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN).
