Removing Groups from the Participant Cache
To improve the access time required for users, groups, and organizations, Windchill maintains an internal participant cache of all user, group, and organization information that has been obtained from the Windchill database and directory services.
* 
If group attributes have been changed using an administration tool other than the Participant Administration utility (for example, a directory administration tool), the information stored in the participant cache must be removed to access the changes.
Remove individual groups from the participant cache
You can remove individual groups from the participant cache by doing one of the following things:
You may need to add the group to the Participant Administration table.
Select the checkbox for the group to be removed. select Remove from Cache from the Actions menu and click OK,
or
Select Remove from Cache from the right-click actions menu in the group row.
Navigate to the group's information page. On this page, select Remove from Cache from the Actions menu and click OK.
The current group information is removed from the cache.
Remove multiple groups from the participant cache
To remove multiple groups from the participant cache, use the following procedure:
1. You may need to add the groups to the Participant Administration table.
2. When the Participant Administration table contains all of the groups you want removed from the participant cache, select the groups’ checkboxes or select the All checkbox to select all of the groups in the table.
3. Select Remove from Cache from the Actions menu.
The information for selected groups is removed from the cache and the rows in the table are removed.
